3rd Generation Lexus GX (GX 550, GX 550h) Megathread

Well dang, I don’t want two-tone. Guess I’ll be going with black interior then. Thanks

 

[guy80]

same - not a fan of the way they did 2-tone...reminds me of cheaper Audi/Mercedes back in ~2008

Caviar looks amazing

 

[Gecko]

Not a fan of Nebula Gray on the current one but it looks really nice on the 3rd gen! Caviar and Nori Green look amazing.

What's with the cold start sounding like a 3rd gen 4Runner V6 with 250k miles? 😂

That startup sounded like the 2.5I4 lol.

Concur on the Nebula.... really all the colors are looking fresh on this 3rd gen.

Has anyone been able to confirm what the wheels look like specifically on the Luxury+?

Those tires are too small for the GX imo

They're for people like me, who just want a big, tall SUV + a premium badge with no intention of taking it offroad. just being truthful, pavement princess over here and really into SUVs despite my current car

I agree with what your saying. But the GX is supposed to be a tough, rugged, bof suv but those tires just doesn't suit it imo, doesn't "look" right

33s look just right on any 2850mm wheelbase Land Cruiser. Look for images of 35s on the J300. They look very "stubby".

33 is a perfect balance between daily drivability, off-road capability and appearance for Land Cruisers. It's a huge improvement over the tiny 30.5s on the current GX.

Remember off-road is not a single type of driving. Too big tires have terrible handling making them unsuitable for high speed dirt/gravel.

How close are we expecting the pricing of the most expensive GX and cheapest LX to be in the US/Canada.

 

[Gecko]

Some early idea on pricing for those interested (and good insights from a current GX owner who has ordered the new one):

 

[NomadDan]

75k MSRP is actually slightly less than I thought for an Overtrail +. I expecting closer to 80k.

He’s spot on with the interior. I think Lexus is going to hear a lot of the same mantra from other would-be buyers.

I’m not sure I understood what he was saying about the Saddle Brown interior. Was that interior color not available on the Overland +, or is it just not available with Earth or Norri Green? Saddle is my favorite interior color on the GX.

placed my pre-order for Overtrail Nori Green, black with suede green accent interior - they were unsure if the region will only get the black roof so I will take either, prefer green roof as I think it'll age better

Got a chance to see the 2024 GX in person. There's one in Newport Beach Fashion Island mall. Looks are rugged and looks way better than in pictures. This was the 2 row GX (Overtrail) and love the interior space. Noticed that the fuel door is elongated.

Noticed that the fuel door is elongated.

Fuel door is maybe elongated for the diesel Prado with AdBlue.
