    Luxury back seat protection pads

    Ordered the back seat protection pads on Amazon about a month ago. They were shipped out of China but are being held up, probably due to current tariff situation.

    OEM+ DASHCAM BY FITCAMX REVIEW

    I'm not a big tech guy but you may want to give this a try. Set up your camera with your phone to the settings you want (ie length of clips, mute microphone, etc) Then go into your phone settings "wifi" forget this network. This will allow your CarPlay to have wireless priority. I believe the...

    Transmission down shift clunk, FIXED

    I don't think I have seen this discussed so I will throw it out there. Is there any possibility the transmission is not properly processing input from the different drive modes? The vehicle was built with different drive modes so they can be used. In an attempt to figure out a cause, has anyone...

    Key fob stopped working?

    In another thread it was mentioned that if you place the fob on the wireless phone charger (a convenient place to put it) it will kill the battery in the fob. Any chance that happened?

    Windshield Wipers

    I found Toyota OEM blades worked much better than after market blades I have used in the past. On my 2014 4Runner they were very affordable and the metal strips that come out with the blade were in great shape after 8 years. Don't know if the GX has the same set up but when I do replace the...

    OEM+ DASHCAM BY FITCAMX REVIEW

    I installed my camera the other day. They sent me a camera housing and a cover for that housing (which I did not think was supposed to be included). I used the housing and cover they sent me. I watched the video and it shows the tabs on the cover sliding into the channel on the housing. With the...

    Anyone measure seat height from the ground?

    The best I can tell on my stock Premium+ is the leading edge of the seat is approx. 35 1/2" and where the seat meets the back rest it is approx. 34".

    Squealing Brakes 550 Overtrail

    For those who live a fair distance from the dealer you can consider taking a video of the Squealing brakes. In my case once you have driven the car that day they will not squeal until they have sat overnight. Offer to email them the video and see if they will work with you to order the parts and...

    GX550 Hybrid engine

    It would be interesting to know if the 3.4L V6 Hybrid powertrain can physically fit in the GX550. Toyota may be waiting to see how the 2.4L hybrid Land Cruiser holds up before they put it in an exported GX550. It's a lot of weight and wind resistance for that 2.4L to push down the interstate. So...

    GX550 Hybrid engine

    Back looks much better w/o hitch cover but don't care for the sound of that 4 cylinder engine.

    Thoughts on Extended Warranty and Lexus Luxury Care Plans?

    This is the first new vehicle I have decided to get an extended warranty. I have never been burned for not getting one with other vehicles. My logic was that with this being a first year release along with all the advanced technology I felt it was worth a small percentage of the vehicles value...
