I replaced all 4 of mine at 12K miles. With rotations I expected a tread life of 20K - 25K miles max. I was on muddy spring trails with my son in his Tacoma (Falken AT3s tires) and noted how quickly my factory Toyo’s filled with mud and then slid around compared to his AT3s. So I went with...

Please share the part number for these trim pieces if able. My passenger side needs replaced and my searching the parts catalog is a frustration of low res images. Thx

My OT+ ride is reminiscent of my K2500 Suburbans and even my single cab F250’s ride of years ago. Body-on-frame, short 112 inch wheelbase and an extraordinary high 9K tow rating / 1.5K payload rating is, in my opinion, a significant driver of the suspension design and how the GX rides. I...

@JULESWTX. Read here. Texas Lemon Law | TxDMV.gov We got back 100% of our purchase price (vehicle, registration fees, sales tax, interest). Ours had less than 5K miles and Lexus waived the usage deduction they were entitled to keep. So we got back every single cent. And turned around and...

As much as I like my GX after 8 weeks I personally would pursue a lemon law buy back and get back into line for a 2027. Lexus bought back our early vin 2023 RX500 due to issues. It is a process, you have to follow it, Lexus was professional in the process and did not fight it. We were happy...

I have seen very few threads on towing with the 550. Wanted to share my results from my first easy tow. This should have been easy for the GX. I’m happy to report it was. Single axle U-haul 4x8 foot trailer. ~475 miles to move one of my children home prior to them leaving again for grad...

Forward/backward adjustment to the second row seats.

I can partially help with suspension. Both Luxury+ and OT/OT+ have the AVS suspension. AVS does just fine on fire roads. You should have enough clearance for fireroad use. My 2024 OT did not have any issues on fire roads with clearance. I did have issues on off-shoots and really rocky...

One of the challenges was a fairly deep wash out. Given it had been raining the side slope was unforgiving when I went off my line (twice, oops). All worked out fine, AT4s had good bite to crawl out, Dissent sliders did their job too and kept the side protected as I dragged myself out. Lots...

Spent this week visiting our oldest in Tahoe. Our visits always include some trip to the many trails in the area. This time we hit Jumbo Grade on the Nevada side with him (Taco) and two of his buddies (F150, xTerra) and visited an abandoned mine near Virginia City. Jumbo Grade is very scenic...

Hi all, Good news, I was decisive and picked up a set of NY Top Aluminum Skid plates (0.25 inch thick versus the factory 0.16 inches thick), Skid Plate Extension and I also picked up their Hybrid front bumper in Red/Aluminum on holiday sale. The bad news, I decided I wanted to go with a front...

As you have noted the uncertainty of the GX is causing undue and undeserved stress. Dump it. Used prices are high due to demand. Move on and buy a late-year GX460 or a 200 series or ???

All USA 550’s are under factory warranty until 2028 (for the 2024s). If they don’t have it figured out and Toyota/Lexus flake and decide to be a lousy engineering/car company with half-witted fixes and poor support I’ll dump it and them as a company and let capitalism work. If future me still...

My 2024 has had the brake TSB done. The piercing shriek is now 98% gone. Hit the trails and get the brakes dirty/muddy and they make noise again, but not as bad. Once the vehicle is cleaned up it improves and then a couple of hard stops makes it quiet again. YMMV, overall happy with the fix.

We have a Nori RX. Awesome color. My equal first choices for the GX were (and still would be) Nori or Earth. Earth came in first, so Earth for the win. Now, having had it for a little while I still love the Earth color but did think it needed a little bit more to set it apart. Being in...
