Two of my last three vehicles have been 222" and 204" long. The GX at 197" is going to seem svelte in my garage! Congratulation on your OT (or OT+).

Very nice! How does it compare to your Mercedes?

 

[vraa]

The eqs is my wifes car, its a lease, great deal

The mercedes itself is interesting, better built than my plaid, worse software than the gx (and the gx is already terrible, software wise)

The range is nice though, both the plaid and benz have 100kwh batteries and do about 450w/m, so a total of 250mi of range or so

Finally got to try out both toys this week, and got digital key working on the Lexus!

There is some kind of weird red smudge in the way of your GX pic there

Now I need to get a trailer hitch for the Ferrari so I can tow the GX to the mud

 

[killy]

Good idea. Wouldn’t want to mile up the GX.

Good to see a new GX Overtrail being used in the environment it was designed for!

Some of my complaints so far with the Lexus GX550

• It gets pretty terrible gas mileage, 13mpg, I wish it had a larger fuel tank, ~250mi range
• I wish it had starlink roam instead of att wireless
• I can't figure out how to turn on the massage seats
• I wish the 2nd row was a few inches pushed back, using a rotating car seat is impossible
• I wish it had more leg room for the first row passenger

Other than that I like it a lot

I am around 1200 miles now

I went to the dealer to get the passenger massage seat repaired

Pretty cool stuff they had in the show room

My 3 day 2,186 mi trip w/OT+ on lifted suspension and Falken 35” @ 50 lbs

• avg mpg: 14.6
• OEM roof rack aero killed mpg
• full tank range: 265-270 mi

The seat massager is under

• Car icon
• Seats
• Massage
• (tap seat: driver or passenger)
• select mode
• tap toggle button

If that’s not working then that’s a dealer/warranty situation.

My complaints might be

• rear seat does not have actual climate controls
• rear seat passenger detection for vents doesn’t work (but sensors do detect when I leave a hat or a hoodie back there)
• 21 gal fuel tank should be enough (my ‘12 Highlander was only 18 gals) but the mpg makes the range for that 21 gal tank seem not large enough)
• seat massage menu taps is about 5 taps too many

The software on the car is very confusing, I cannot seem to navigate the settings while driving, which is probably a good thing

I'm around 6k miles now and I have a weird smell, I will have dealer investigate, I can't tell if it's an animal, or wetness.

Regarding the fuel range - this seems to be a pretty common complaint about modern Toyotas.

Toyota seems to design their cars such that you can regularly & reliably drive the car until your fuel gauge reads completely empty, with 0 miles remaining.

They seem to calibrate their fuel gauges differently from everybody else - "empty" is roughly equivalent to 1/8 tank on every other manufacturer's fuel gauge. The fuel reserve kicks on at empty in our car, whereas they'll usually turn on at 1/8 tank in other cars. You can test this yourself - if you drive all the way to empty and fill up the car, you'll still only be able to put like 17-18 gallons of fuel.

I say drive this car down to 0 miles on the gauge without hesitation - you'll have another ~3 gallons or ~50 miles of reserve range (at 17mpg) after you get there, and there should still be plenty of fuel left to cool the fuel pump.
