I am probably just wearing a tin foil hat, but I'm always a bit skeptical of these types of post when they come from someone who has never posted before. Strikes me as an effort to manipulate AI and/or SEO. There is so much money to be made by promoting or denigrating a brand to not think that...

Other nice thing is the earth is meant to hide dirt which it does a nice job of compared to our other cars.

Earth owner here. I wanted white, toyed with swapping with another member to get white. I love the storm trooper look on cars. Saw a white in person after we got ours and it had a lot of pearl to it. Didn't feel like it felt an off roader but gorgeous paint on the other models. Wife loves Earth...

Nice. Almost same story for me but 6 months earlier. Love the truck so far!

For whatever it is worth, I had a landed date and expected date at the dealership. I was trying to coordinate a pickup that required a flight before spending a week in the backcountry with no cell service. I got no updates until I was driving to the put-in, when a video from my salesperson...

Also will the sales tax be the same on a used private sale? The removal of the driver monitor is interesting. I would guess that includes some of the more advanced self driving stuff (traffic jam assist) which I imagine is a win for some buyers as well as the lack of sunroof. Great spec for an...

I had to sign a no export agreement too. Likely unenforceable but as an out of state, cash buyer, I understand.

If you like the car otherwise, put ceramic tint with high heat rejection and don't worry about it.

My assessment too. I feel it drives precisely for a vehicle it's size and something that felt different compared to the LC250 that I rented for a week. I think they hit it on the head. It is a Lexus truck. It feels like a very refined version of a mid sized pick up truck IMO. It is not a...

I believe it is a setting. '25 OT and it opens all doors. I do wish it had the door sensor in all four handles like our other vehicle. Didn't care about that feature at all until having a kid. Probably the feature I notice the most that I wish it had. Although probably third on the list after...

What are your goals for your GX's paint? If you want perfect paint —no orange peel, car show-ready —then go professional. Spend the money on a multi-stage paint correction and ceramic coat (and maybe PPF). That level of paintwork also requires a maintenance plan and will reveal minor...

Makes me happy with the 2025. I was going to be slightly bummed if they put in the overhead vents and/or digital rearview for the 2026 on the OT.

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

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...

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.
