Pick your favorite GX trim level from this video. If you are enjoying this video, please consider letting some of the ads play through so I get rewarded for my work. I appreciate you all being here! Jeff
Premium+, remove the running boards and replace with rock sliders. Replace the All Season tires with Falken Wild Peak AT tires which are available in 255/55R20!
I have been waiting for the release of the GX 550 and watching every video I can to try to catch a glimpse of what to expect. I’ve even talked to my local dealer and not gotten this much information! This is the most thorough video that I have seen! Lexus should pay you for this detailed video review! Thanks Jeff!
This trim comparison video was first class. Usually, I find myself having to watch a video per trim level because the narrator isn’t thorough enough. This however was fantastic.
I spend much time watching car reviews with other RU-vid channels and just came across your channel. This is the best review of the 2024 GX lineup so far on YT. Very detailed and thorough. You are entertaining to watch as well. Keep up the great work. And count me as new subscriber.
I already see an issue that burned me twice. I had a Cadilac with Onstar and it was anolog and after just 2 years, anolog was shut down and replaced with digitable and NO UPGRADE AVAILABLE. I went to Lexus and their SOS system and Remote Assist was 3G and after 3 years, #G was shut down and no way to upgrade. Now I am shopping for a 2024 Lexus GX550 Luxury+ and I see on the spec sheet that its AT&T 4G dependant. Nice wording, "dependant". The writing is on the wall as 4G is old technology as our cell phones are now 5G. Is this designed obsolencent for a newly released vehicle to be equiped with old 4G. I want that SOS system and liked that I could check on my car, start it, etc. , from my cell phone. I'm hoping that Lexus fixes this over the next feww months.
I agree! Those things look terrible!! It looks like you option rock sliders for $995. I am assuming you can get swapped at the dealer. It's also interesting that the 3 row variants make for a flatter floor? At least it looks that way from the videos I have seen.
Great questions: it's 3.74 inches wider this year (Overtrail is 4.52 inches). It's 2.75 inches longer and the wheelbase is 2.36 inches longer. Hope that helps! Jeff
I wish I could have real leather in the Overtrail+…would be the No brainer choice for me…so may be Luxury+ instead but ??? Would love to see a review of real leather vs NuLux. Not only the wear characteristics and durability but actual sensory and comfort. My fear is the NuLux won’t “breath” like leather and, on long drives, be uncomfortable. Keep up the crazy you doing reviews Jeff!
@AutoJeffReviews Jeff - came across your video review array. Detailed, good info - the hard-copy print-outs of each trim with the options list - all in clear focus - was a great idea. I can pause the video and zoom in for the details - perfect. Also, your knowing certain details - for my wife, it's the massaging seats, after a hard hike in Colorado at 13,000 feet or here in Sedona, AZ - she will turn down a vehicle if that feature is absent. So, thank you for knowing that going into the segment where you show the seat/massaging settings screen.
I know these are luxury vehicles, but I think rock sliders would have been great on the Overtrail and Overtrail +. Also the five seater variants are the way to go!
I'll see if I have footage showing that and I'll whip up a video. I have nearly 10 youtube videos filmed and many many many instagram, facebook, and tiktok videos filmed from the drive this weekend. Jeff
Awesome! looking forward to seeing all of it! This looks like a real winner for Lexus! Not sure why toyota when with small engine for the Land Cruiser, but to me the V6 is the only way to go! I was looking a Defender and though I have not seen this car in the flesh, it looks awesome! TY!!!@@AutoJeffReviews
Thanks Jeff! On the Overtrail (non-plus) you showed the lumbar support control on the passenger's seat. Do you know if that's standard on the non-plus Overtrail?
Wondering the same thing. The price bump from Overtrail to Overtrail Plus is pretty steep. Looks like he actually showed the Overtrail Plus interior when he said it was the Overtrail. When he showed the Overtrail interior it has Mark Levinson audio, which I don't think you can order in the regular Overtrail unless Lexus' website is incorrect.
Hello Mr. Jt thank you so much for showing all of the six trims that’s amazing! Personally I love off-road and I love luxury so I want the best of both worlds and I’m gonna go overtrual + off-road luxury! I’m going to get it in silver because I live in the desert and you want to be able to reflect light in for people to see you and the over trail plus is the best for me I don’t care about two-tone color if silver is unavailable I’m going to get white
Premium looks like it has matte black B pillar and window trim. Gloss black on higher models. Can definitely tell where the cost cutting goes when engineers/product planners go through these cars. Lexus wasn't like this pre TNGA. Same corporate steering wheel down to the NX with no woodgrain wheel option like the RX and the button layout on the wheel if you don't have advance touch is the same as a Corolla. Hood and fuel cap release, mechanical levers right off of a RAV4 lol
I like the two tone color of the overtrail but I actually prefer everything else of the luxury, including the third row seat. I wonder why the two toned isn’t an option on the luxury and/or luxury plus
Jeff your lol😂 funny love your spins. Which option of option of rear seat set up gives flatest fold flat cargo space? My only passengers ride in dog crates. Thanks for your help
We already put in our deposit for luxury plus. All we got was a small paper receipt odd no order sheet just a little paper receipt 🧐anyone else get the same receipt?
Yeah but you keep adding in additional features here and there that people might want and now the price starts at 65 or 66 or 67 or 68......It's a tough fine line and I'm glad I'm not the one making those decisions haha
Buying a new model car on the first version is asking for trouble. Its better to wait for others to help find bugs over the next 1-2 years before purchasing
@@davidl922 Its called common sense. The Tundra, Sequoia, Bronco, Tacoma, even Tesla's and every other manufacturer's cars have issues when they first refresh. The time you may spend on fixing the issue will take away precious time from you. Time you can use to make money or do other things. In fact, the "rich" need to have a new car is how poor people think. The scarcity mindset is how these companies make so much money.
For $65k Lexus, you do not get a wireless charge, no fog lights, no memory seats but for the little Rav4 for $42k, you get a wireless charger, fog lights, and memory. I don't think this should be considered it's a Lexus, this is so cheap. I do not gotta pay $65 for it.
Thanks for your opinion and for watching. RAV4 is not even in the same ballpark as GX. Completely different cars. That is almost like saying might as well go with a Corolla because it might have a wireless charger as opposed to going with a GX. You might not want to compare your "apples to apples" based on individual features if the cars aren't anywhere close to "apples to apples"...I'm glad you're part of my channel! I love differing opinions :)
@@AutoJeffReviews I know it's a completely different car but wireless charge, and fog light, are just a couple of hundred dollars and you pay 65k for it and not get those little things. Do you think it's worth 65k and call a Lexus? To me, I think this is too cheap. I can see something like a massage chair and a panoramic roof not to add but wireless charge and fog light should be added, it's a Lexus. The name of Lexus doesn't mean anything now.
Why does wireless charging even matter? It was shown all over RU-vid that wireless charging degrades your battery faster than wired charging due to heat. If you really want wireless charging and it’s a non-negotiable to you it’s an added option on the Lexus GX webpage.

The most obnoxious narrator on RU-vid. Unable to finish because of the annoying attempts at humor. Looking to be informed not entertained. Know your audience sir.
Yeah the overland+ is going for almost 15k over asking price in Georgia. Can’t imagine the premium for other areas like cali. 😮 They ain’t learn from ford and it shows 😂
Its a shame thr Overtrail gets so stripped down just because the 3rd row is deleted and it keeps thr KDSS tnat was standard on every GX before. Highly considering a Land Cruiser Prado now
