What do you like or dislike about 2024 Lexus GX 550? Have you sat in one or driven it yet, and how did that go? I LOVE it...but can see some reasons you might not. Jeff

#1 reason to hate is the misguided trim configurations.
If you want exterior looks, its OT+
If you want practicality, get Luxury+
If you want both, look elsewhere.

#2 reason: stupid features like cool box eating into already non existent storage space. No place to put your sunglasses btw.

The GX 550 Overtrail has over 9000lb towing capacity - not 8000! This is the best all around capable off road luxury SUV from Lexus/Toyota. People - who don't off road/know there shit about it, venture into the outdoors will never understand why the Overtrail doesn't have a 3rd row and why it has a smaller moon roof. There are reasons why they made it the way they did. People who buy this GX Overtrail for what it is intended for don't give a shit about a 3rd row because they will never use it because they will have their outdoor stuff there for camping, hunting, fishing, etc. The moon roof is small because there will be most likely a prinsu roof rack or something like that on there eventually with kayaks, Pelican cases, max traxx, roof top tent, etc. Also, it is a safety thing...for those who off road having a full glass roof isn't wise due to a weak structure for roll over, rocks and boulders off the side of hills, trees falling and the list goes on. Also, weak structure for putting stuff up there on full proper roof rack. Some of the stuff people bitch about is hilarious and they should go buy a Van instead because they won't use this thing for what it's intended for. I could go off about this even more but I just realized I typed quite a lot already.

I have the OT and I love it. My only complaints is the ac in the back. I don't know why they made it different from the other trims. Also, there is no front storage. the cool box takes away storage. Not really a big deal. I agree about the nothing with the front outlet. Why couldn't they do more with that?

I’ve had 5 new cars/trucks/suv in 5 years. This is my favorite by far.

[cshader]

Only thing I don't like about my 550 OT+ is the coolbox. Maybe in the summer I'll change my mind but I'd rather have the extra storage space

Your ultra seating is nothing more than plastic and vinyl that’s exactly what it is. There is no leather anywhere and you’re paying a lot of money to get nothing wake up.

[deangoodman]

thinking about the overtrail option, and the overtrail plus… Just can’t wrap my head around paying that much extra for overtrail plus do you think the options are worth it?

[robsudden]

No full panomaric sunroof’? also Lexus needs to start separating its looks from Toyota
it’s crazy how it looks exactly like the Land Cruiser only just dressed up a bit more.

FYI called Toyota/ Lexus and they verified that premium gas is recommended, but not a must. The GX 550 cab take regular 87 octane and not have any issues, idle problems or void warranty. They seem to run ok on 87 octane, try it next time you fill up and it's a hunk cheaper.

I love your reviews so much. I’m buying to car but waiting for the hybrid to come out !!

[lunamaria]

I have the Overtrail plus. In the past I had a 5th gen 4Runner for adventures/winter driving, and a Range Rover for my comfortable luxurious road vehicle. I decided to try to find a singular SUV that gave me the ruggedness and reliability as my past 4Runners, but with modern tech and luxury like Ranger Rover. I got the reliable rugged capability that I wanted, but the interior of the GX 550 is VERY underwhelming and I'll be switching to the LX 700h when it releases.

I love everything else about it!

[keepitsimple]

LC has AC vents on the ceiling, but GX don't have them. WtF?

[reallymatt]

Took three minutes to even get to your first point, and for most things you mentioned weren’t really much to say. You spent most of the video saying how great things are on the car.

Thanks, Jeff, for the entertaining and interesting review as always!I really like the car and appreciate very much that you point out the good and not so good. I think your reviews are very fair and honest. And I so agree that I would be disappointed in the mpgs. I did want to know how the luxury plus comfort would feel as compared to my 2022 RX 450hl luxury version. Will I feel the same level of comfort or will it be more bouncy and jarring? And, by the way, I too am a dedicated On Cloud wearer! They are great! My favorites are the Monster and the Eclipse. Maximum cushioning all the way!

When are you going to buy a Lexus GX 550 Jeff??

[your_alter_ego]

Same engines in Tundra and LX are getting recalled and the remedy is engine replacement. Wait 2-3 years before you buy one of these 😂

[savedbygrace]

Such an awesome vehicle, I love it. Unfortunately they've been having problems with the main bearings in the engine. Therefore I would never purchase this year. I wish they stayed with the V8 and added supercharge😉

[NongNangKorat]

I am not crazy about cool box at all. I need more space for storage as I travel with lots of medicine 😅😅

[Damen]

I have the Premium Plus model, only thing I don't like it the mpg's...YMMV
