    GX550 vs Audi SQ8/RSQ8

    Went from a 2023 sq8 to the 2024 Lexus Gx 550 OT+. Needed a different vehicle for practical job and lifestyle reasons. The two are completely different rides. The sq8 was a beast dream build and drove like it. You felt the weight but loved acceleration, cockpit, and sound of the v8. That...

    Just removed the roof rail cross bars…

    Cool. I assumed they were threaded back when I did this . - at least they’ll be clean when I put rack back on.

    GX550 Real World MPG

    At 14k miles I am around 17.2 with mix of city and freeway. On long freeway trips, going eco mode vs comfort gets me +0.6 mpg. Bigger tank would really help.

    Just removed the roof rail cross bars…

    Sun Visor Extensions

    Thanks for posting this. The gaps drive me crazy, and I find myself contorting to avoid the glare. Purchased a visor from your link and it works great. Thank you!

    What I can’t stand about my GX

    Love the GX except for: 1) small gas tank range. Need 360 miles to get through a week of work. 2) yelling over my radio or turning down the volume to talk with Siri. 3) lack of rear climate zone on OT + 4) door jams are not well sealed. Tons of dust and dirt in jams which needs to be...

    Dealer Markup List California

    Bought my OT + from Lexus Valencia. They added a bunch of extras on to MSRP and added 3k markup. The deal was a mess with paperwork and communication and I won’t be back, but I did get atomic silver ot+ without waiting. They seem to be getting allocation though - so if you want to deal...

    Passenger seat massage not working - Overtrail+

    Great info! Hooked my OT+ back (675 miles) up today thanks to this group. Exact same fitting was out. Hooked up and voila! Other notes: Added a few more pics for backrest - after bottom screws are out, push backrest then lift up off of bars on seat. I did not have 1/4 inch tubing but tried...
