    2025+ Overtrail running 275/70/18 tires

    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...

    GX550: Moisture in doors? Anyone else seeing this issue?

    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...

    GX550: Moisture in doors? Anyone else seeing this issue?

    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. Posted pic of...

    Impact of proposed new tariffs on foreign built cars?

    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...

    GX550: Moisture in doors? Anyone else seeing this issue?

    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...

    GX550 Engine failure

    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...

    Impact of proposed new tariffs on foreign built cars?

    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.

    Off road insurance?

    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.
