    Long Range America - Announcement

    What country did you purchase a GX550 in? A hitch is standard on US vehicles.

    Engine/powertrain computer/module reprogrammed

    That's likely the transmission downshift "clunk" flash that is a technical service bulletin. Totally normal and a good thing it's already done.

    This is unfortunate.

    That's specific dealership bs tactics and not Lexus. I suggest finding another dealership. I had to wait a few months, but not pay an upcharge.

    Jerky transmission

    Copied from another thread in this forum: "Go to settings - Driving Assist- Driver support - scroll down to Deceleration assist. To turn it on or off."

    GX IMSA Road Handling Suspension😊

    My suspicion is you felt you could roll over but you weren't actually in danger of that happening. Certainly this thing will never handle like a sports car or even Subie. I think it is what it is and besides driving it like a truck in most situations you will need gain confidence that it won't...

    PP or LP and why

    I'm very happy with my P+, but I was also not at all interested in most of the L or L+ features and definitely didn't want 22" wheels. I'm only slightly envious of adaptive suspension and the additional driving modes. The P+ is ultimately perfect for my needs. At some point I'll put a set of 18"...

    Configuring for hitch-mount bike rack

    You can mute the tone in the touchscreen, but you need to do it every time you put it in reverse. As far as I know, you can't disable the tone without a third party tool. I just deal with it. I have a Thule Revert 4.

    First Oil Change at 5k instead of 10k

    As above, I paid for my first oil change at 1000 miles. The owner's manual states 600 miles is engine break-in, so I figured it was a good idea. The dealer covered my 1 of 2 complimentary at 5000 miles. I plan on doing subsequent changes every 5k miles.

    Transmission Clunk TSB L-SB-0042-25

    Sorry to hear. I've done a few hundred miles but have not had the same experience as you...yet.

    Transmission Clunk TSB L-SB-0042-25

    I didn't get a fluid flush. I received a firmware flash as that's what the most recent TSB states is the solution. Have you inquired with your service advisor about that?

    Just looked at the new re-designed 2026 GX550

    If the design is the same or similar to the 2024 and 2025 model years, I got used to the shape of the side mirrors quickly and it's neither an issue for me nor my wife.

    Transmission Clunk TSB L-SB-0042-25

    I had very mild downshift jolts. Post flash, all I notice is the 1-2 slight harshness on cold start. Everything else is smooth.

    Transmission Clunk TSB L-SB-0042-25

    I thought it was my imagination. Thanks for confirming the hard 1-2 shift after cold start after the transmission flash. I'm experiencing it, too. Not a big deal, but good to know it's "normal" behavior.

    Fed up with Lexus marketing

    I didn't (and wouldn't) pay over MSRP. Though my car has a few factory options I didn't want, I didn't see any as deal breakers and I actually appreciate them now (HUD). My dealer didn't shove a bunch of unwanted port installed options on me. All in, I'm very happy with the buying experience and...

    GX550 Aftermarket Wheel & Tire Thread

    Thanks. Would love to know more regarding spare when it happens. These are all the same thoughts I have: flush, no poke, more aggressive tire but mainly road use. I'm on a P+, but looking for more rubber than stock.
