2024 Lexus GX550 Overtrail Plus.....3 Week Ownership Report from current Land Cruiser Heritage Owner 

Good choice!

Thanks so much! You can turn the camera off in general settings (sprocket), driver assist, driver support. Then there's 2 buttons to turn off the driver monitor.

I’m watching it too, as I have one reserved, but I am pretty hopeful that it’s not going to be an issue with the GX. So far, it isn’t included in the recalls-they seem pretty narrowly-scoped to certain years of Tundra and LX600 static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RMISC-24V381-8150.pdf and it’s been in the LS 500 since 2017, which seem to be pretty highly-rated still from JD Power & Assoc.

why

Not sure I understand

I think aftermarket is gonna get on that sooner than later. Hopefully yours comes in soon!

The power of the engine is much improved so I hope so!

So we’re all in?! ❤😊

Insta360 Go 3 with detachable camera that has a hat clip for POV 👍

@@Why2k So good! Well done... and thanks for the video review😁

No PPF. Lexus app was easy for my wife to setup Not in eco. Haven’t tried voice command for seat controls :)

Yes they are. The noise is from the cross bars on the roof rack which we plan to remove.

@@Why2k Ah makes sense. I hear OEM roof racks/bars aren’t always the best to begin with.

Don’t even hear them.

Getting around 14.2 avg around town….range showing around 280 when full. I can’t get more than 13-15 gallons in it with 60 miles reserve. So that seems about right. I’m used to getting 18-19 gallons in an suv when the gas light comes on. Regardless of the tank being 21 gallons I think a 330-350 in town range would be better, maybe their range estimates air on the side of caution making tank seem smaller than it is. Regardless, 23-26 gallons would be a nice improvement for extra cushion. My Landcruiser gets around 300 total range and lots of people do extended fuel tanks in them. 21 gallons isn’t that big when you factor in the economy is worse than my v8 cruiser around town. Hopefully on highway it will get the quoted 21 mpg. Overall it’s a good truck though and things should get a little better mpg wise once motor fully breaks in. I would imagine the Defender drives more “carlike” being that’s it’s a unibody?

Haven’t sat back there to comment. People who have sat in back so far haven’t mentioned anything yet.

Also a Florida resident, and why Toyota stripped this feature out of the Overtrail still stumps me. Of course, it’s in the old GX460, even with the off-road package.

@@CeeJay591 that is the one concern for me living in the desert SW with temps in the 110 range.

@@MedEng801I have a black Overtrail base with moonroof delete , yesterday was 101 with a heat index of 114 here in Ohio and the backseat was comfortable with the A/C on full blast with recirculating on.

@@CollinAlbert-zt6cc thanks for the update, that migrated concerns about the kids and pets staying comfortable

That would be very dope!

Ride is a little bouncy, but kinda to be expected with body on frame. Wind noise was due to cross bars on roof rack which we’ve since removed. Tank is actually 21 gallons after further research but doesn’t get you far at 14.2 mpg avg in city. I think it should do better on highway it’s rated at 21 mpg. We shall see.

14.2 avg so far all in town driving no interstate.

I agree with you. It's Beautiful car, and I was thinking about buying it, but I'll pass for now because it's missing: 1. Third row seats don't have enough room. Why not give it the same third row seats as the TX 2. When third row seats are up, there is not enough cargo room.... look at TX as an example. It has 20 cubic feet 3. Hate the bump in the center seat 4. Toyota Sequoia has more luxury material than GX, I feel like I'm being cheated 5. KDSS should be on all trims

That’s why you never rush to get a new model right away. Wait a while to see what the common issues are

@Mr.International82 what do you consider to be awhile?

His comparing Offroad SUV with a tesla and BMW 😭😢

I would drive it but already have a 200 series Landcruiser :)

Only the men who wear dresses.

@@JoBiatchSuch a killer post from a ‘dude’ named, “Jo.”

More like 14 but it’s ok 😅

Tundra recalled. Not lexus gx
