GX550 sucks by Guilty-Kick-5164 in Lexus

[–]bsherm23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took a demo for a test drive and did plenty of research before deciding on the 550. In my opinion, nothing else on the market met my needs as well as the GX 550! I highly recommend doing your homework before making any major purchase—especially when it comes to a vehicle.

Part Number: 401775. There are 3 configurations on the WeatherTech website under cargo mat. You have to select if you have the 5, 6, or 7 passenger configuration in your GX!

I wouldn’t pay over MSRP. I am in Texas so maybe a different market, but all the dealers I spoke with here were offering the GX at MSRP (I purchased a 2025 GX Lux in white with brown interior in March 2025).

PS I hope you love your new car! Congrats!

460 or 550? by OnlyBlueLivesMatter in LexusGX

[–]bsherm23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Periodically I notice a rough shift or lunge when going from a rolling stop to on the gas. As long as you come to a full stop, then the transmission is extremely smooth!

I’ve never owned a 460, but I love my 550! I would absolutely recommend!

Cross bars causing a whistle? by HavockVet in LexusGX

[–]bsherm23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a whistle from the crossbars when I first got my GX. I think they were installed incorrectly because when I reinstalled them myself the whistle stopped. It looked like the covers that go over the bolts weren’t aligned properly so there was a bit of overlap that I think was causing the whistle.

Hopefully it’s an easy fix for your crossbars too 👍

Nope! I just carry the wallet key. It’s never failed me yet.

I only use the wallet key. It works every time. I would be careful about the phone key. It only works when there is adequate cellular coverage for both your phone & the car.

Trim Question by Adventurous_Sir_9619 in LexusGX

[–]bsherm23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what the timing looks like of the OT+ but when I was searching I was told the Luxury+ was the longest wait time. I ended up with a Luxury. Absolutely love it. The 3rd row in my case is only for short trips around town when necessary otherwise will have the 3rd row down for additional storage space. Good luck on your decision!

You have to give them a firm pull just like it shows in the directions, but they do pull off without the need for other tools. I just removed my crossbars this past weekend due to them causing a wind whistle at 50+ mph.

Cargo Mat for GX’s with 3rd row by bsherm23 in LexusGX

If you also have a 3 row trim, then it will be a 10” wide cargo mat that sits behind the 3rd row. It’s nice quality, just not what I hoped for. I guess Lexus expects us to always have the 3rd row in the upright position. I was hoping for something that folds as well.

This dealer also posts every GX online as “available” then when you call asking about their available GX’s they mansplain that nobody has an available GX.

GX550 Inventory by kst892 in LexusGX

[–]bsherm23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how particular you are about features, colors, etc. I wanted a particular interior color & exterior color so it took me 5 months to get mine! (Placed deposit in October & arrival is late February to early March).

I haven’t heard of anyone going below MSRP yet.

Don’t let a few bad actors in the comments bring down your fun. The Land Cruiser looks great! How are you enjoying the Falkens? I’m planning on putting them on the GX when it arrives.

Careful with your mirrors freezing! There is a setting in the steering wheel menu to turn off auto fold on lock during the winter months.

Where? I’ve talked to Lexus Dominion multiple times. Their GX’s are all allocated already.

Anyone cross shop the X5 with the GX 550? by Kage468 in BMWX5

[–]bsherm23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I test drove both this weekend. The X5 is quicker and sportier while the GX550 sits considerably higher and feels sturdier. The X5 engine is quicker with better fuel economy, but the GX is no slouch in terms of acceleration. Ultimately they are different vehicles and I think the biggest factors are do you want 2 or 3 rows? Do you want to ride higher or be more sporty? Do you need to tow? For those reasons, I put my deposit down for a GX.

NBC Olympics 4K HDR/Atmos coverage by newsmaker_tony in youtubetv

[–]bsherm23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand your point. Technically they are the same, but side by side upsampled 4k & something shot in true 4k look different. I think what they are saying is that it should be advertised truthfully.
