I recently canceled a deposit on a GX. I've owned 2 different non-Toyota first year vehicles with brand new to the model motors, one vehicle being a new design and entry into the US market. Both were rock solid vehicles. Yes, the GX 550 has had some issues, but my reason was more a result of...

:ROFLMAO: I f#$&%ing HATE the stupid fake engine noise in all the newer vehicles. It's been pissing me off for years, and I've been cursing the engineers over that one all along, but that's the BEST response to that idiotic idea! That, and the rest of your list, Bluegill, is exactly what I'm...

I just heard a newer Land Cruiser brake squeal, from inside our showroom, as one of our employees was pulling out of a parking space. The sound is hideous! So it would appear that between the GX, the LC, and the Tundra, that's a whole lot of brakes that need to get replaced nationwide, so some...

Good looking build. I really am liking the low profile bumpers a few of these companies are coming up with. However, the wheel setups that push the tires out beyond the wheel wells, even with a slight lift, appear to cut WAY down on the amount of articulation that Lexus built into these trucks...

Performance oriented brake pads will squeal a lot, especially when cold or under very light pedal pressure or very slow speeds. I'm wondering if that could be the issue, and the fix is going to be back toward a lower performance oriented brake pad due to all the complaints. Then all the...

Everybody, STOP YELLING!!!! You're giving me a headache. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Good looking build! :cool: I really like the look of that full length roof rack. When we saw a few GX's at the dealer last week, they had the PIO racks behind the moonroof. Wife said she liked the look, but I told her those make too much noise and it'll drive us nuts on road trips (I've had a...

Word from our local Lexus dealer is the "protective" plastic on the hood caused some early paint issues, but they haven't seen that show up again in almost a month None of the 9 GX's that showed up yesterday morning had any hood paint issues. I looked at 4 of them and the hoods looked perfect...

We went in to our dealer yesterday to look at exterior & interior colors, after 9 GX's showed up early morning. All were spoken for, so we still haven't driven one, still haven't sat in the seats, even. The throttle delay is pretty prominent in a couple of the new twin turbo V6 non-hybrid...

Wow! That must be really bad in person, because it looks terrible in those photos. Some of those don't look like they'll buff out, and I see scratches all the time that our paint correction guy has to work on. If you agree to take the vehicle, you should demand that the hood gets...

I'm not quite that old, I was still just a passenger through most of the 70s. 🤣

That's not too bad on a barely broken in motor, SethGX. The rest of you youngsters griping about mpgs are cracking me up. I know you're young 'cause after 50, you're stopping for bathroom breaks WAY before the tank needs refilled on a road trip, so you're always topping off the tank when you...

Got this from my salesman today. Ours come out of Jacksonville. "The GXs are supposed to start releasing next week from the inspection hold they were in. Each vehicle takes just under an hour to get through so i am not sure how many they have to work through and how fast that will happen."

Great photo!

I bet if you pushed while you were in the finance office, they would have backed off, realizing you might just pay off right away and they'd get a charge back. Or, they'd stick to their guns hoping you might just wait to pay off, increasing their chance of making a little extra money, and if you...
