    Lexus GX550 Production slow down

    According to a sales breakdown video from Kirk Kreifels. The sales of the Landcruiser 250 was down quite bit in December? I also noticed there is less inventory of Landcruiser in dealers surrounding me. Suspicion is that Toyota shift the production capacity to 4runners and other models. Maybe...

    Canadian GX550 madness - cannot purchase, long wait times, high deposits, threat of export

    Well, I found the best deterrent is still physical obstruction, like a garage or physical barrier that prevent thefts access the vehicle or get away. Either way, the issue is prevalent now. I heard it is even spreads to Japan and Australia now.

    Dealer calls wanting to purchase my GX

    My question always is, what are you going to do after? Replace the GX with a different vehicle or just let it go? For me, if this is offered, I might want to try the LX instead.

    Premium Plus v. Overtrail: E-KDSS?

    I am just about to ask which model and tire you are using? Then I realized only OT/+ have MTS....I drove on packed snow in Normal mode and felt mostly fine. Engage the centre diff lock made it felt more sure-footed. I did test the MTS once after heavy snow and made me almost feel invincible (I...

    Canadian GX550 madness - cannot purchase, long wait times, high deposits, threat of export

    I think if your wait time will be OK if you can be a little loose with your colour choice, as options are rather limited with trim limes in Canada. You only real choice would be the colour, you may be bumped up if someone in front of you dropped the line.

    2026 OT Plus Color???

    My first choice was the grey incognito with black roof. Why, because it show the most contrast with the black roof. My second choice was the nori green and that is the one I got. They all look great!

    It’s Gunna Snow

    Well, driving on snow is inevitable in my location. I have to say, I am very impressed by GX550's stability and traction control on deep snow. Even without Centre locker and MTS engaged, I still feel very stable on snow with overtrail's stock tires. Very impressed.

    Canadian GX550 for 2026 MY - EKDSS Comes Standard!

    It is kinds crazy if it is true. Considering all the trims will be very off road capable (I mean they already are but even better), diminishes the Overtrail trims; value. However, even as a Overtrail+ owner, I still would applaud such move for future GX owners.

    Canadian GX550 for 2026 MY - EKDSS Comes Standard!

    Well, I saw this too but think it might be an oversight. I checked the US website and it clearly stated EKDSS only available on the Overtrail/Plus trim. It is almost too good to be true to have EKDSS available on every trim level.

    Windshield wiper

    Beside what was described by TmoEng. You can also turn on the De-icer in the climate section in your Lexus App. This way you can pre-heat the windshield before you arrive.

    Windshield wiper

    Well, there is a price difference and added complexity. That is been said, for where I live, it is definitely a life saver!

    Possible Mark Levinson AMP TSB coming

    This issue is a bit hit and miss. I have a 25 OT+ with ML sound system. I can only turn the volume level to 28 for comfortable listening and never feel the lacking of bass. I understand everyone's sound perception is different but I don't think everyone with ML system is affected by this amp issue.

    INEOS to GX

    Welcome to the GX forum! I did study the Grenadier before going for a GX. One thing I have to say, it is the ultimate manifestation of one man's enthusiasm of a specific vehicle. Sure, I can buy all the collections of the vehicles with the amount of money he has, but to actually build one is...

    Toyota V35A-FTS Engine Teardown

    Mikey said one of the impacted "Lexus" vehicle, not specific to a GX and most likey not.

    Any chance the old 5.7 will drop into the GX 550, is it possible?

    Actually, I just remembered, in overseas market, the LC300 is offered with the 4.0 1GR-FE engine. Considering the structural similarities, it is probably possible to swap the V35A with 1GR. However, it is underpowered for sure but nothing can beat 1GR's longevity.
