As many of you in the Northeast, NY just got slammed with ~30” of snow from the Hernando blizzard. My GX performed amazing and with confidence. On unplowed roads with even snow plows getting stuck, my GX just cut through the deepest drifts like a hot knife through butter. Very impressive!

My brakes are totally silent after the brake replacement. Lexus went the extra mile to replace the front rotors and pads, even though my truck had less than 1000 miles. That squeal is like nails on a chalkboard, that's gotta go!

I was casually reviewing an article on the new Subaru offering, and couldn’t help but notice that the central screen is an exact replica of the one used in the GX550. What do you guys think? A deeper dive reveals they actually adopted it from Lexus / Toyota. A bit surprised to see this, but...

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I find the base / standard 10 speaker Pioneer system quite good. Nice definition, decent bass, clear highs. I have experience with high end equipment, and honestly, I think the Pioneer does a commendable job with its class D amplifier and matched drivers. And...

I purchased a cargo mat from Smartliner, fits perfectly for the 7 passenger models, with the 3rd row seats folded down. Love the cutouts for the seat belt holders which I believe were missing from the Weathertech mat. Fits flush, stays flexible and is very sturdy to protect the rear cargo...

To all those affected or soon to be affected by the engine recall, I think we can all be reasonably confident that Lexus will invoke their goodwill policy and extend the power train warranty to at least 10 years/ 100k miles. Even if your VIN isn’t included in the current recall campaign, it’s...

And here’s another ridiculous error just received today. Apparently the system decided an extra 2 psi on my spare needs to be checked and adjusted immediately! Experience not amazing, just stupid. 🙂

Based on what I’m seeing here, I keep checking my app obsessively to determine if I’m affected by the engine recall. Like it can show up any minute. lol.

Black book weekly: $83k for my premium + 2500 miles on the odometer Showroom condition Still seems a bit high

Agreed, and some good advice here. But the overriding concern is, now that the cat’s out of the bag, isn’t there is an undetermined diminished value on a resale or trade in? Likely future dialog at trade in / resale: Buyer: “Hey, isn’t that the engine with the recall?” Me: “Yea, but mine...

Same here, 7/24 build date. No recall noted on the app other than the backup camera.

This recall alert for the rear view camera first showed up in Carfox and now in my Lexus app. Assuming this will be an OTA fix.

Of all the available colors for the ambient lighting, I've settled on green at maximum level. It appears to be the brightest in the spectrum and adds a cool glow in the dark. It's visible in the dash area whereas other colors faded out.

Is the auto brake hold engaged?
