Default Miss my GX

A couple months have passed since I traded the GX for the Tundra and as predicted, I miss it. I love the Tundra, dont get me wrong...but there are a ton of things about that I just, miss.

I have had to do about 10 things with the Tundra that I never would have been able to do with the GX though...I guess it all balances out right?

My lease will be the end of this year and I'm starting to feel that I'm going to miss it already It's so smooth and versatile.

I just did some home depot run this weekend and picked up 4x8 panel (cut in half though) plus alot of other usages.

We've been going back and forth on keeping it or returning it, so I got about 3 months left to enjoy/decide

Interesting post.....I have an RX330 and am looking at a GX but there are a few things that other manufacturers provide that neither the RX or GX provide. My problem is I am now afraid I will regret moving from Lexus as I have enjoyed the experience totally. I just wish it had a bit more room inside. Guess you can't get everything?

I traded in my Acura MDX for the GX, although the MDX was bigger inside, I dont miss the MDX at all. BTW, I have the best of both world since my brother owns a pick up truck

I traded in my GX470 for a 06 BMW 550 and regreted it after the first 30 days of ownership. I thought going to a sportier sedan would be fun and it was but the practicality of a SUV cannot be beat. I miss the touch screen and ease of use of the Lexus electronics. BMW blows with the damned I-drive. Not to mention I miss the customer service at the dealership. BMW dealerships are nothing short of being *******s when its time to bring in your car. They act like you are wasting their time. Oh if I could only go back through time and kept my GX. Next year I will be either getting the GX570 or the LX570 and will never stray again.

You are wasting their time, since you're not paying a dime for those maintenance issues......I kid

They (MB) don't treat you any better when you are paying out of pocket either
