Got the the 275/70/r18 toyo AT3 open country EV SL tires put on today. They definitely look more substantial than the stock tires. The treads are much deeper than the OE overtrail tires. The OE AT3’s always looked slightly undersized to me. The 275/70/r18’s look to be exactly...
At 35k miles on factory OE tires and they are close to done.
Ordered new tires and they arrived. Headed to Discount Tire tomorrow to get the normal toyo open country AT3’s in 275/70/18 on my ‘24 overtrail. I have no lift and plan to keep everything stock. Will upload photos tomorrow.

I walked outside to take out my trash at 10:20 tonight. My car has been parked since I got home at 5:20. I heard a loud buzzing sound coming from the left rear end from under carriage of car. Gonna take to Lexus but has anyone else had weird buzzing like this when the car is OFF?

I did NOT pull plastic off the car. I noticed at noon one day that water was dripping from the bottom of the driver door when i opened it. It had rained the day prior, so thought it was weird that my car was baking in the sun and I had driven to work and somehow water was still dripping from...
Not sure if this will fix this issue or not, but the lexus tech seemed pretty confident he located the smell and it was same spot on other 550’s he’s already replaced. Maybe smell this part of your door after your next rain or wash, after it has sat wet for 12 hours. Photo of moulding part...
I left at dealer 2 days ago and the tech said he had already located this and repaired this same problem with other 2024 GX’s. He said he hasn’t run across it yet with any 2025 GX’s. He said he knew exactly where to smell mine and sure enough the smell was coming from there.

Tariffs were lowered not eliminated. Tariffs or no tariffs, do you know anytime in the history of modern vehicles where the price has gone down for non-EV luxury brands (specifically Lexus)?
As long as GX 550 demand is outpacing production, you will continue to see them adding more cost with...
I can add to this thread. Just hand washed my car yesterday. Hasn’t rained in weeks where I am, and no smell. This morning my cars smells of mildew after the wash. My doors and windows were rolled up and tightly closed. I have also noticed water traps in door after a rain.
Based on this...
Carcarenut had a video about the new engines. Lexus stopped the rollout right after manufacture begin for “quality control” for the 550’s in jan/feb 2024. Carcarenut pointed out parts were discontinued in their catalogue and updated with the new part #’s. The discontinued parts were the same...
Dropped off GX today for 15k service and ran into my salesman. He told me the tariffs will trickle down to MSRP, confirmed by Lexus corporate, how much, he said, is currently unknown. So glad I got my 2024.
I’m in insurance, and you’re covered as long as you have collision coverage. You collide with something, you’ll pay your deductible, they’ll pay for the fix, then surcharge your policy unless you have accident forgiveness.
