2024 Lexus GX550 | Review & Road Test 

Does it fit my urban lifestyle? No. Does it get reasonable mileage? No way. Do I need more than 4 seats? Nope. Do I tow? No. But it looks sooooo goood……

This is the best thing they have built in forever. I will definitely be getting one

Always pleasant to watch this guy do reviews. Much appreciation!

I was going to say it’s bad on fuel… but if you can afford the suv, I doupt you care of the fuel price. Lol

Lexus & Toyota absolutely knocked it out of the park with this truck. Yes, we'll miss the V8. But with everything else, you can tell they did their homework with what their main customer base wanted. They listened when they knew people who buy off-roaders & trucks like this don't want to constantly mess with touch screens, touch sensitive buttons, electronic shifters and crap that'll take away from the focus of driving and everyday usability. And they went back to an old school, boxy, utilitarian design that's not only super popular now, but it'll still look good 10-20 years later. Mad props to the design team for Lexus & Toyota. I'm really looking forward to the Gen 6 4Runner and the return of the US-spec Land Cruiser! 🙌🏻

Great to see more reviews from Mike Danger! Keep them coming.

They killed it with this one!!! I love it. Imagine if Toyota made a 2 door FJ version?? So hot!

Great review, Mike! Thanks.

Awesome review Mike!!! Keep up the strong work!!!!!! 💪💪💪

Nice detailed video, Mike. Great job 👍

Excellent video Mike!😸

Great review as always, Mike!

This looks amazing!, this would definitely be in my garage if I had the funds for it, but I can just live vicariously through any one that owns it

Hands down, best looking suv at the moment

Needs a hybrid! I'll wait :D

This SUV is such a beautiful beast! Thank you for this great breakdown.

I like that the hood design provides better visibility some hoods are hard to comfortably see over, Im ready for over-landing with one 🤔

I need to start a go fund me, so I can afford this beast.

Was I the only one who noticed the NO U-TURN sign?

I CANT DECIDE ON THR COLOR! Been looking at this car since it got announced in 2023 and I like almost all the colors.

I may be biased as my mum owns one (a 2012), but i much prefer the previous generation. Besides, the "predator grille" design worked well for the previous generation. However, because of the spindle grille fuel economy dropped from 15 city, 20 highway, 17 combined to 15 city, 19 highway, 16 combined. Both with the exact same engine and transmission.

Good review but no mention on how it rides,and does the adaptive suspension make it ride better, to me its just a enclosed Tundra.

I love how halfway through the video Mike danger starts throwing stuff around

Drag coefficient .39???LMAOOOO that's like 1977....but shit this thing looks great. Absolutely great, I wonder how noisy it is inside given the brick like shape. Also never seen this guy in a review before but then I haven't seen KBB in a hot minute. This dude is really good, you should keep him around.

Love it❤

Wait did I just see that you have to spend 78k to get memory seats 😂 Lexus really chasing the German cars option catalog .

Turning a new leaf with that outfit Danger !!!!

Lexus is 👑

Great video, i love this new Lexus gx design and look . Also reliable and durability is Lexus DNA so i know it will be hot cake sale

Best lexus

Mike, I am your size, actually a bit taller, but definitely older (!). If you had an $80K budget and wanted a daily driver that might do an occasional road trip of 6-8 hours of driving a day, what would you buy?

I must be the only one in the world who rests their hand flat on the center bottom of the steering wheel. Been doing it on my Toyotas for 30 years. No matter how beautiful, powerful or amazing a vehicle is this could be a significant dealbreaker for me.

Which configuration has the max towing of 9,096 lbs? Lexus website only shows max towing of 8k lbs. I need the version with the higher towing rating.

For anyone looking for an off-road capable body on frame SUV with a solid tow capacity, the new GX550 is brilliant. For most buyers interested in Overtrail models, the lack of a 3rd row is a blessing. It saves having to take them out.

Just because it requires min 91 octane, forget many of the overland dream destinations in North America.

Best suv in toyota

Well done Lexus! And finally, no more Predator grill 👏

Rear design reminds me of older Jeep Compass

Old grill was trash. This looks light years better.

I wonder what the Toyota 4runner will look like.

3rd best-selling Lexus SUV? I know the RX is #1, what's #2?

Hope it gets a hybrid for better mileage.

Great job man. Very detailed. Love it!

Sorry, as much as I like Lexus, and owning one, that infotainment system is disappointing; it still hasn't got any update since it released, it doesn't memorize your map orientation and zoom level; and can't believe they still didn't put multi language fonts for your music

Lexus cooked here 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Where is this place?

In Russia, the Overtrail+ package costs $ 160,000 on pre-order.

Can't understand why they can't hide the rear windshield wiper, like many of the car brands do with all this technology.

damm dude, u must be really really tall

Nice! But price = OUCH!

Finally a reviewer who is 6’4”. The world wasn’t built for us.

No doubt it is a fantastic true SUV, but the true use case unless one takes it off-road so much or even once in a month is not there! At almost $10000 more on fuel cost over 5 years at 17 mpg assuming 15K miles a year, which is the minimum reasonable period of ownership, the value prop is completely lost. I can compare this to my X5 PHEV that I get 42mpg hybrid, that’s a straight up $2K savings a year! If you stretch that to 10 years, that’s $20K more on fuel. Yeah take away a good chunk to keep the Bimmer maintenance, but you lose money with this GX. Where exactly this may shine is for people who keep this for 15 years or more honestly!

How tall are you?

12:11 I wish they’d kept the barn door but mirrored it to open to the other side on left hand drive markets.

Where is micah?

Lexus has been a mediocre brand for decades but this is a home run

Obviously, Lexus pointed out the sway-bar disconnect tech and scalloped hood, but as usual, no one ever describes how the AWD system works.

Its giving extra long jeep renegade

Doesn’t really improve anything for mpg!

I would get the Gran Highlander instead… or even the sequoia

Get deluxe Tahoe same price

I really don't like its back side.

Engine problems now. Main bearings are faulty.

The last version of the GX550 was ugly, but this one invents a whole new level of ugliness, and it looks cheap and nasty at the same time.

You are better off buying the BMW X7 for another 10-15K. Towing is 7,000 LBs, it is significantly larger on interior, faster, more powerful, smoother, more quiet, more refined, more luxurious.

17 mpg + 2024 = GARBAGE

5:43. FYI. WE DON’T WANT ENGINE NOISE WE NEVER WANTED ENGINE NOISE WE NEVER WILL WANT ENGINE NOISE IN OUR LEXUS. Piping in engine noise was one of Akio Toyoda’s DUMBAZZ ideas. Glad toyota finally told him to shut the hell up with that nonsense cause WE LEXUS BUYERS DON’T WANT ANY ENGINE RACKET INVADING OUR LUXURY CARS!!! Now if they can only do something about the ugly dashboard and overall bland interior.

Looks stupid from the front

Grossly overpriced. No stock as it’s a Toyota. 👎🏼

They make a cheaper Phantom, a *Cheaper Cullinan* , and now a *CHEAPER DEFENDER* 😢
