Default Lexus GX 550 (ClubLexus Review) UPDATED

Hey, folks, just got back from a trip to Arizona to drive the 2024 Lexus GX. On road, I drove a 2023 Lexus GX 460 Luxury as well as a 2024 Lexus GX 550 Premium and Luxury+. (Very mildly) Off-road, I drove a GX 550 Overtrail. I also interviewed the Chief Engineer, Koji Tsukasaki, about the new GX. I'm going to use this thread to share and discuss the ClubLexus coverage as I write and edit a few different pieces. Expect a bunch of longer videos and posts next week as the driving impressions embargo lifts Feb 1, so you can expect all your favorite publications and YouTubers to share their thoughts then as well.

Outside of driving impressions, I can answer any questions you may have about fit and finish and features.


GX 550 Coverage & Social

1. From the event, Koji Tsukasaki says hello to ClubLexus. (Short)


2. The Overtrail is the BEST 2024 Lexus GX 550 (Short)


3. My interview with the GX Chief Engineer --

I just realized the other day the middle row cant be adjusted forward and back. I find that ridiculous, otherwise it seems like an amazing vehicle. That lack of adjustability ruined the new Seqouia and its 3rd row for me.

great point. the 2nd and 3rd rows do angle forward and backward, but you're right, I don't remember them sliding.

I'm Jealous, as a long term Lexus Customer with 4 Lexus's currently in the garage where's my invitation? Having also had the older GX, we (like most) been waiting for this to hit the showroom for test driving. If the test drive is acceptable, one of the RXL's will go away and this will be added (wanting the Overtrail).
