Yes there is a setting to permanently set your 360 degree camera to come on when you slow down or stop. However it interferes with your phone if you are in the process of calling someone. So I just use the button (near your right leg) when I want to utilize the camera while stopped or slowly...

Great to hear you are enjoying your GX as much as I am!

Lexus update It’s been one year since I took delivery of my(Caviar) Premium Plus. I wanted a three-row SUV, so the OverTrail was out, and I did not want 22-inch wheels, so the Luxury was also out. If everyone remembers, options were limited and came built into the price. My build included...

Different suspension setup (O/T) and tires compared to the Premium Plus thus big difference highway performance. Of course your OT is much better off-road. I also started with a GX470 then continued with the 460’s and find the Premium Plus suspension and ride more predictable. Sorry to hear you...

The hood flutter for me is very minor, the squeak is minor and only in reverse so enjoy your new ride. I've had my Premium plus since May and absolutely love it. My dealer fixed the brakes (immediatly) once I made them aware of the issue. I changed my oil at 1000 miles and again at 5K since...

My comparison is based on my previous ownership of GX 460s. My biggest takeaway is how well the new GX drives! Very stable, firm but smooth and responsive steering. The engine responds immediately through the transmission that always seems to be in the right gear. Of course, a nice feature is...

My experience and I've mentioned it on earlier threads is my engine/transmision works flawlessly in normal mode. The 10 speed setup had me a bit concerned however the Direct Shift engineering has surprised me with quick gear selection when accelerating. I have felt the downshifts when coasting...

Not an issue in fact my service manager asked if I wanted to use my 10k complimentary service as a credit for the oil change. I said no since I will do another oil change at 5-6K miles. He is “old school”and understands my reasoning. Any engine builder knows the importance of changing the oil...

Delivered May 3rd, Premium Plus. My GPS does not accurately flip from day/night view and there is a narrow strip at the top of the screen that is not clear. The tech person at the dealership said it should be corrected on the next software update. No leaks or issues with the paint (Caviar)...

I’m going to verify if my oil was replaced (by the dealer) with a Toyota product and not another brand of oil from a drum such as Valvoline or Mobil. I have always used Castrol in my high performance cars so I’m fine with that product. I will be upset if a Toyota product was not used based on...

I have the Premium Plus and no issues with Climate Control in fact it works much better than the past model GX. I set Climate Control to auto and the seats (Front) will automatically cool down based on temp setting. I live in Texas and so far Spring has been very Hot I have not tried the...

A review would be nice after you have a chance to put some miles on it. Not many reviews since there are not many GX's on the road. I've provided a review and just love my GX. Hoping you will be just as pleased as I am.

Thanks for the YouTube suggestion. I watched the video regarding his daughter’s new car oil changes and it’s “old school” version of changing oil especially during the break in period. Already changed my oil at 1200 miles and will do it again at 5K miles to play it safe. Also the new engine...

You are correct, Lexus should provide a response clarifying the hold on initial builds. There may not be any issue regarding the engine specific to the 2024 GX however changing the oil early and more often is never a bad idea! So far I feel lucky… after every wash I check for leaks and the paint...
