    Toyota V35A-FTS Engine Teardown

    Hi all, I was in at the dealership on Friday for my second scheduled service. My GX550 is a December 2024 build and so it is not a part of the recall. I asked some of the techs, what's the go? - They said in Australia that only 10 vehicles are affected by the recall, we received the GX much...

    Does anyone find the Sports Luxury ride to be harsh/hard?

    Thanks Mate, I figure it can't hurt to try a set of O/Ts 18'" wheels tires.

    Does anyone find the Sports Luxury ride to be harsh/hard?

    Hi all, I’m interested in hearing what other owners think about the ride quality of the Sports Luxury model, particularly those based in Australia. I’ve had my Sports Luxury for 11 months and have driven about 15,000 km (9,300 miles), mostly on highways and around town. I’ve taken it on the...

    Lexus GX 550 Eminent White Pearl Photos ⚪

    Roughness while idling?

    Thanks that actually makes sense, although like other comments I still find it unacceptable from Lexus. I will say that mine after 6 months and 5,000 miles has settled down considerably. Still present, but not intrusive like it was quiet often when it was newer.

    Roughness while idling?

    Just weighing in on this rough idle problem. This is what I emailed to the dealer. Initially there was the occasional slight rough idle when stopped at traffic lights, this is becoming more pronounced (such that you can feel the car vibrate) and occurs more often. Typically, around the 700rpm...

    Roughness while idling?

    Hi, yes have both rough idle and the infotainment resetting for no reason. I was finally able to capture a video of it after many attempts as it can be quiet random as you say. Initially it would only ever do it for me when going from Reverse to Park, now it can happen from Drive to Park...

    Down Under Overtrail

    Excellent colour, nice to see an O/T in a different colour from the usual Kakki metal.
