    2025 GX SQUEAKY BRAKES?

    Same. Both forward and reverse when cold on '25 OT.

    Proper use of GX550 OT 4x4 modes and lockers

    I have been in the same place as you when I got my OT. I did not find anything specific for the GX, but found Ronny Dahl as a good introduction to using lockers and 4Lo. And Driving Sports TV for a good overview of the MTS, DAC and Crawl Control on their reviews of the GX and the LC250. My basic...

    💸 The 'official' I put my deposit down list...

    I wanted a moonroof delete too. Didn't get it. And have been pleasantly surprised by how much we use it. Not sure what is different but on our previous cars, I might use the moonroof once a year.

    Lexus GX550 Issues

    Agreed. Besides the length, the copy and paste of what Google AI says about it is weird. Not sure what the end game is, if they own one, I guess just venting.

    I love the Melville and Moon stuff. Gorgeous.

    Satin PPF on white GX?

    I personally think it would look awesome. I have seen it on Range Rovers, and the black and white with the gloss / matte or satin finish is a great look. (I love the earth color we ended up with, but white is still my preferred color for these. Love the stormtrooper look.)

    Drove behind my own OT. Holy body role

    I am so happy I ended up with the adaptive suspension. I have driven a few older vehicles with adaptive suspension and did not see much of a difference. But man is it nice to have the sport mode when going up a pass or through a canyon when the road is in good shape. And the comfort is great in...

    Hi all!

    A more affordable option to the ADGU system is this one from Colfax Campers in Denver: Platform Kit - Lexus GX 550 That is my truck in the pictures. Happy to show it off or answer questions if you are interested. They will also install at their shop if you are local. I haven't really used it...

    Will a GX 550 Premium (or Prem Plus) be enough off roadiness for me?

    Good call the surround cameras on the + would be nice! Before I convinced the wife to let me get an OT, she insisted on a prem+ for the surround cameras. (Won't let me get a car without, which I appreciate. )

    Will a GX 550 Premium (or Prem Plus) be enough off roadiness for me?

    The prem+ can for sure handle those roads. I would plan on a second set of wheels and AT tires. Plus get a compressor so you can air down and you can do it easily. The MTS and trail cameras are huge aids if you not experienced but go slow, use a spotter and you will be just fine.

    Thoughts on Extended Warranty and Lexus Luxury Care Plans?

    For whatever it is worth, the dealership where I purchased my GX informed me that Jerry's prices were within $200 of their own cost, depending on the mileage and years. In other words, if they sold a plan at that price, they would at most make a couple of hundred dollars. This was the general...

    Negotiations and the Lexus Extended Warranty

    Surprisingly, the dealership I got mine from didn't offer any prepaid maintenance plans. I was ready to spend on it. But I was buying out of state. There are four dealerships within an hour of where I am. Will take it to two of them for the included 5,000 and 10,000 mile stuff and ask them.
