    Nav Display screen not showing correctly.

    I have been noticing when I startup the GX in the radio or other screens and switch to the nav display the screen sometimes is very light or overly dark in night mode and has no contrast where you can not see the roads or details. I have found if I shutdown the GX and restart in the nav screen...

    Not really, it stiffened up feel slightly so it does not seem to feel mushy and dive to much on the front end. I came from a 2013 GX 460 and its ride is a lot stiffer on the front end and it bothered me the 550 was so much softer turning and changing lanes and felt almost out of control. I...

    I installed the lift last aug as the second upgrade to my GX and love it. I do landscape photography and I can get to places and back no worries. I do not do hard core off-road but this lift gets the front up for added clearance and adds stiffness to the suspension for better control and ride...

    Drove with centerlock on

    Do not lock or unlock while moving or in drive. A short drive on pavement is probably ok. Next time pull off the road safely come to a complete stop and unlock diff in neutral.

    Can we hear from OT & OT+ owners who DON'T have vibration / ride issues?

    OT with 9500 miles, on road and off road with Westcott leveling lift, no vibrations. It drives smother than the older 2013 GX base I have. I just have the morning squeal with the brake and waiting on Lexus with the parts on order.

    Can anyone explain these failures in 4wd on roller test?

    He did not test the GX with the center differential locked. It would have behaved the same as the 4 runner. This was noted in one of the comments. I had the same question after watching the video until I read the comment describing the diff in an all wheel drive of the Gx vs the 4 runner that...

    Was ready to give up on the GX550, then…

    I have the OT and had some hood flutter at 50+. It is really evident when following large trucks at hwy speeds. When I took mine into the dealer for the 5k maintenance they adjusted the hood and it is much better now. They did not share what they did but it seems less. Check with your dealer.

    Was ready to give up on the GX550, then…

    Glad you figured it out and keeping your ride. I have the OT in white and took mine up to UT in Oct and did quite a bit of off roading. One thing I found is the front is rather low and you many want to look at the Westcott Designs leveling lift that lifts the front 2 1/2 inches and the rear 1"...

    Display blackout and reset during drive - anyone else?

    I had it happen today for the first time, 9k mile. The main nav display only went blank just after I pulled out today from the house and restarted with in a few sec but had the wrong time zone, it was 4 hours off. When I was able to pull over and look at the date setting and it was on Hawaii...
