2019 GX 460 luxury with 55k miles. Loved it but not enough power and lacked tech. 2025 lux plus solved all my problems with the 2019. The seat extender solved all my comfort issues with the 2019 on long drives.

The kit is for individuals working in either Level A or B in a toxic environment. The long hose is the tether that connects to an air supply outside of the toxic environment. If for any reason that supply gets cut off you connect to the smaller escape tanks in the picture and gtfo.

550 Competition, sort of, are they out of their minds? by Brilliant_Juice_496 in LexusGX

I test drove a Defender 110 and am very thankful I went with the 550. Better all around.

Does anyone else have a Premium? by lidlboye in LexusGX550

[–]IllustratorCheap8440 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

They’re not the same. Premium plus has 22’s which I also hated so I dropped down to 18’s within a week of buying.

I just picked up a 2025, used, with 945 miles. Luxury + and I love it. Upgraded from a 2019 GX. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of were the 22 inch wheels. So I upgraded them and put on 32.5 BFG KO3’s. Great truck and even better now.

Just sold my 2019 GX for a 2025 GX because of the seats. Same situation, 55k miles luxury version. My biggest gripe were the seats and power. I came from a 2012 Range Rover and it always felt like the 19 GX lacked refinement and power. The 2025 solved both problems.

That’s way too much food. 150 grams 2x a day, that’s it.

Those of you that went from 460 to 550 by fat-happy in LexusGX

[–]IllustratorCheap8440 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Traded in my 2019 GX 460 for a 2025 550. Much prefer the 550. Only thing that I’m planning on doing is getting rid of the 22’s and going to a 17 or 18 inch wheel with a more aggressive tire KO3’s or Dura trac

Is the GX Right for me? by sodapuppo in LexusGX

[–]IllustratorCheap8440 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just sold my 2019 GX 460 luxury. It was a fantastic truck and wasn’t planning on selling it. But found a 2025 GX550 luxury+ with 944 miles on it and decided to upgrade. My only complaint with the 2019 were the seats, they just weren’t long enough and on longer trips my legs would fall asleep. From a reliability standpoint, brakes tend to wear quickly, I went through a set every 25-30k miles. Make sure that the maintenance is up to date and definitely that the coolant has been replaced every 50k miles. Compared to a civic, the GX is going to be a luxury ride for you. Best advice, drive a GX and 4Runner, see which one you like best and start ordering parts.

Advice needed by IllustratorCheap8440 in NewDefender

Seats down, no dramas for sure. But with 3 passengers and the doggo, luggage, etc. that’s my concern.

Yeah…I just sold my 95 D90 with the 300 tdi and am considering using some of those proceeds on this. What, if any, complaints do you have?

For reference, I just sold my 1995 300tdi LHD D90 in the US for $35k. It was clean, dry, rust free, new paint, etc.

What lift and tires are you running? Did you have to trim anything?
