Just got the new Lexus GX550 luxury plus. I can’t figure out how to disable adaptive cruise control.

First, congratulations on your beautiful truck.

There's a feature in the driver assistance module in the Lexus menu that turns on proactive driver assistance. That turns off the most annoying features of the safety suite.

I would walk you through it here, but these videos are about as good as I've seen any company put out, and they're annotated with chapters.


 
I think if you press the upper right button on the right side of the steering wheel once, then again when the prompt comes up on the dash. This turns it off and allows regular cruise control.
 
in other words....one version of cruise control will always be on and "ready" to activate. By pressing the upper right button on the steering wheel, you can choose if it's adaptive or standard cruise control

Correct, after selecting which one you want as noted above, then you press the upper left most button on the right hand side of the wheel to activate and deactivate. When you press the button it will use the speed you are at as the cruise speed. The speed can be toggled up or down by pressing the up down arrows (increase/decrease) also on the right side of the wheel. After playing with them a bit one at a time I got comfortable with what they do. The adaptive cruise is nice as it works like regular cruise until you approach a slower car in front of you. There is a toggle on the lower right side to set the distance you want to maintain between you and the car in front of you. Three horizontal bars is the most. I like that setting.
 
I love my truck, but the user interface for Adaptive Control is terrible. The only thing worse is the climate control (or actual total lack of climate control).

Follow directions posted above, just know that it is not intuitive and you will forget how to use it if you don't use it frequently. My wife won't even attempt to use it.......
