Welcome to the GX family!
Oh heck yes! Gorgeous! Like you, I bought this to see some dirt!
Newbie on this Forum, but not to Lexus. We bought our first GX470 in Sept. 2006. I recently sold it after 20 years of amazing performance and stellar service. Expecting a 2026 Premium Plus, in Incognito any day now. First order of business is to have the stock wheels (not a fan) power coated in Gloss Black and to get bids on painting or wrapping the top in Black as well. The new GX will accompany my wife's NX350H in our garage. Looking forward to the new ride, it should look something like this.
A 2024 Luxury model with the 2.5 It’s a great car for city driving and does well on the highway, my wife loves it. Very economical and easy on gas. Handles like a Go-Cart, very nimble and quick.
But, for me it’s a little cramped on interior space, especially on a road trip. The GX will be our travel ride and my “Truck”
Looks great - may your wait be short!
Hi All! New here and forgot to do the intro! From the Bay Area, CA. Moving from 3 4Runners now into a 2026 White GX550 OT. Currently own a 2022 Lime Green TRD Pro along with the GX. Cant wait to put miles into the new ride.
Formal introduction, as I've been posting for 2 weeks but missed this thread. I recently took delivery of a brand new GX 550 Overtrail+; this was 100% out of the blue as someone backed out of an order & I was first to the dealership. SIX other potential buyers arrived after I'd started the paperwork, so I imagine resale on these must be insane (at least in Denver). Mine is Atomic Silver, Overtrail+, with (I think) every option known to Lexus. I've really been enjoying it, despite the fact that it came with all four primary tires inflated to 47 psi, which made it pretty rough. At factory pressures it rides just fine. I plan on putting a silver wrap on the roof, between the roof rails, as the black roof doesn't make sense to me. Really enjoying the vibe of this forum, as everyone has been extremely helpful to a GX Newbie! And yes -- that IS a double-rainbow, photographed today...

Hello everyone,
Finally got a GX550 Overtrail+ last week. Have had my name on some waiting lists locally here in North Texas for a better part of a year with the top color choice of Eminent White Pearl (which is typically harder to find on a OT+ especially with black interior).
Got a text from one of my friends who still does business with many local dealers and there was a 2024 Incognito OT+ with 20k miles. I traded in my 2021 F150 Raptor for it, and they gave me $3k more than other appraisals (including Carvana) and picked it up the same day. While I had the Raptor for about 5 years, was cool, looked badass, it just wasn't really me. Glad I'm back in a Toyota/Lexus again; previous Toyota was a 3rd gen Tacoma.
I run a performance shop here in NTX (mostly focusing on Honda Type Rs), but this will serve as our shop truck as well now that the Raptor is gone.
Got it tinted with XPEL Prime XR Plus in 15% all around (yes on top of the factory smoked rear glass) and 5% sunroof. Debadged the GX550 off the tailgate and removed the ugly front air dam flaps. Already have wheels on order (backordered until spring '27 unfortunately), and have a whole slew of mod list including full Kings, Camburg UCAs, Dobinson's springs, 35s, etc. While I have my hands full working on Type Rs, we may take on working on these trucks especially now we have one!
