Long time lurker , ordered a 2024 GX 550 Luxury back when ordering opened up in 2023. Wife has been driving it for a little over a year now, luvs it. Placed an order for 2025 for myself in Jan……got tired of waiting, so picked up a 2025 Bronco raptor instead. Having the wife go thru the parts I ordered for mine, what she doesn’t want I’ll eventually get around to selling.
 
Welcome to forum. I really like the Raptor and I hear it's a great off-roader. How do you like yours?
Coming from big body range rovers the last decade. Both vehicles interiors are just meh at best. Gx feel like a higher end rental car. Raptor seats are more comfortable, still lacks luxury. But lexus isn't much better. Lexus is a dog compared to the performance of the Raptor. Raptor suspension blows away the lexus. Raptor ac performs better than the lexus. Lexus feels a smidge bigger on the Inside. Raptor is a bit louder on the freeway. Overall gold i didnt gwt another lexus. Imo...the raptor needs no mods to be great

should add, had the dealer add the ford tune on the raptor. the way it should come from the factory imo. puts the torque on par with the supercharged RR. obviously ride quality isn't where RR is, but neither is the lexus. Lexus freeway ride is better than the Raptor, but on pot hole ridden city rodes, raptor handles it better. Raptor is still highly impractical compared to the Lexus.
