This channel has been putting good stuff out, we gotta get this to a million subscribers

Back to back GX videos with Tinkerer’s Adventure, it’s my lucky day.

Ryan, no one of YouTube pushes the manufacturer's products more than you do. Showing the truth of product performance comes with risk and possibly being left out of the club but your videos are much appreciated by us views, keep doing what you do.

This may be the first ever vid where I was actually interested in the sponsor promo. Thanks for the on x offroad suggestion.

Your videos turn YouTube into the University of Off-Roading; thank you for your highly informative yet at the same time highly entertaining work.

Perfect timing! Picking up my GX OT+ on Friday! Love the work that you do! 👍🏻💪🏼

Have had this video in my tab for the past 5 days. Decided to just watch it and this is the best off roading video of the GX 550 I've seen so far anywhere. US reviews dont usually have someone who truly likes offroading. I usually have to watch from other countries like Kazakhstan or China or Africa but this shows there are great tracks available in the US as well. Thank you so much Sir, I have liked and subscribed.

Nice review. The GX 550's biggest limitation is ground clearance. Yes it's capable, but only to the extent it can safely clear obstacles. The test course in this review was mostly loose dirt and not big rocks. Out here in Colorado, that rig wouldn't make it very far on the rocky, moderate to difficult trails. I would not take the GX on any trail above a 4 in difficulty and that's probably pushing it.

First thing I’m going to do when I win the lottery is go get one of these! Love this vehicle.

Excellent channel. This is THE place to go if you need to learn what a car can do offroad.

It's easy to spec a Bronco over 60k, and the cheapest you can get a Bronco with power seats is 65k; for an extra 4k, you can get a Lexus GX550 with much more towing capacity, a much better interior, and better sound system...doesn't come with 35s and a front locker, but I'll bet 99% of Bronco owners will never use that versus a high percentage of Lexus owners who will tow more that 3500 pounds. If I had over 60k to spend, I would buy this over the Land Cruiser or Bronco Wildtrak in a heartbeat.

The GX is the one I'd want - 6 cyl and no EV or hybrid. Looking forward to the Land Cruiser-GX comparison video and why you ultimately chose the LC.

[asplenic]

Impressive! Most impressive and @ street tire pressure!

[URLex]

Absolutely impressive. People are constantly trying to kick Toyota/Lexus when they’re down for the slightest thing but they’ll bounce back, they always do and I’ll definitely be in the market for a GX OT in the future.

Best off road Channel on YouTube. You build proper off road courses to give us great mud/gravel entertainment. GX550 Overtrail is very brave up there. Greetings

[elg]

This channel is refreshing. Keep up the good work Sir

[rostamr]

It's worth every penny...I am going to miss my 4Runner ...but this would be an excellent upgrade and a keeper

[Overitall]

Was a catchy intro song but I like this abbreviated intro much better..good choice.

[ktpinnacle]

I think this hits a lot of sweet spots for utility, luxury and reliability.
