    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...

    GX550 Real World MPG

    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...
