I sometimes use Sport S if I don't leave it at Normal by default. Feels a little quicker and less harsh than Sport S+. No clue what the difference is. Normal is probably the best.
Going to switch to Custom like a few others have posted. Just haven't had time to mess with it.
There are plenty of buttons in the GX including climate wheels (HVAC), defrost, volume for stereo, switching drive modes, etc. These are all buttons. Secondly, the stuff that's on the display are like heated seats, ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, etc. You do NOT have to search through a...
Reporting back after a few more miles. My average is around 14 mpg (city/hwy) with 21 gallon fuel tank. My larger (and faster) full-size Range Rover gets mid 20s with a 24 gallon fuel tank. Fuel economy seems too low in the GX.
The LX600 has 60 more horsepower, weighs more, and gets better fuel...
I wish that spot below the chargers was slightly taller. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is a little too tall and it extends towards the cupholder area. Annoyingly, the wireless charging spot is also slightly too small for the Pro Max iPhone and sits sideways in that tray. The new GX needs a better phone...
The GX that is available locally with a $12k markup is actually from a car brokerage, not the dealership. I'm not aware of any Lexus dealerships charging over MSRP for new GXs. Dealers are selling at MSRP, but you just have to wait. Doubt they will negotiate below MSRP until they go through the...
When I took delivery of my OT+ in July, I only got one key. They told me that the credit card key and another regular fob would arrive within a month. I haven't heard from or checked with my salesperson but still don't have the extra keys. Has anyone else had this experience?
Locally, I'm seeing $12k over MSRP or join the 300+ person waitlist. The dealer where I got my OT+ stopped taking deposits for OT and OT+ trim due to backlog.
People are on here talking about no rear camera. For reference - ALL vehicles under 10,000 lbs are required, by law, to have a rear view camera since May 1, 2018.
Rear view mirrors that can turn into a screen with rear-camera view is available on newer Land Rovers. Not a common feature on...
Just need a cheap plastic divider for 4 drinks. Main reason is to stop them from rolling around if there's less than 4 cans/bottles. I'm sure there will be one on Amazon soon.
Unpopular opinion - I really like the ML 21 speaker system in the new GX. Very crisp and accurate sound. The bass is clear and accurate. I have the balance set to center and the tone one or two notches up on bass/mid.
For comparison, my most recent daily drivers are Range Rover with Meridian...
In case anyone is worried, this seems to be a very isolated issue (possibly the only example). There are now many OT and OT+ deliveries with no issues, including mine.
This and the "Stop Sale" posts are the 2 most popular threads on this forum. I read both posts before I took delivery and was...

No personal experience with it but wanted to share.
I've never owned a Lexus, but I'm somewhat concerned after browsing this forum in anticipation of my new GX. One big selling point for me was the perceived reliability coming from reports like these and die-hard brand loyalists (Land Cruiser, Tacoma, 4Runner, etc).
So far we have the...
Interesting post. Now I'm curious to see how the $1,800 ML upgrade sounds when mine arrives.
Is there an actual subwoofer and just no separate controls for it in the audio settings?
Does anyone have the latest TLDR on this thread?
My OT+ was scheduled to arrive 6/28 but my salesperson won't send me the tracking/carrier info so don't know if I'm part of the hold. Trying to get the latest on this without reading 20 pages of threads.
Possible issues:
Headliner sagging...
Has anyone done a front leveling kit on the factory suspension?
Westcott has this preload collar lift kit. It's a small front and rear lift:

Any other options available? Any issues with e-KDSS or ride quality?
