Hi, my name is Kirk, & I may be a Lexus-ohaulic

[KirkF350]

Hi everyone. I just found this site and have been lurking in the background doing tons of reading.
I’ll have my (the wife’s)new GX550 Luxury in the next 3 weeks and I’m super excited. I’m new to the GX, but not Lexus. I (wife) still have a ES350, and our past cars have been a IS350, GS350-F sport, and RX350. I’ve also owned 3 Toyota Tundras, a Camry, & Corolla. Needless to say, Toyota runs in my blood.

My wife and I are empty nesters now but still love to travel, drive the hill country in our current go fast cars, off road (Can-Am Maverick X3), camp, and jet-ski. I pull my ATC toy-hauler with my F250 diesel and had hoped to pull my 3 place jet-ski trailer (4500 load) with the new GX but after a lot of reading, I may just use my company truck (F150 w/coyote V8). We are keeping the ES350 as her commuter car so we don’t rack up the miles on the GX. I just hope Lexus has truly addressed the engine issues prior to my vehicles build date. I never buy 1st year models for this very reason and surprised it’s taken them so long to hopefully get it right.

Sorry for rambling on. I look forward to learning more, contributing, & going to any local get togethers.

Thanks for having me!

Kirk

Welcome! You guys will love your GX.

Welcome, I think you will find it a great cross between you hauler truck and prior Lexus rides. We were empty nesters when we pull the trigger to buy the OT we have. You'll enjoy the road trip visibility out of it and sportiness it offers for a heavy truck.

Well. She finally got here. Well worth it!
Loving it so far. The heads up display is pretty good.
My wife has never been a pickup or SUV person, but so far she loves this.

Isn't that where all software is backed up to?
