Your comments about why you are not breaking the vehicle in consideration of your fellow journalists made me a subscriber and a huge fan.
@anthonyb755
No one else I’ve seen has pointed out those camera details, thank you so much 🙏
@Tomichi1
What a great review. I’ve been researching the GX550 for months and am on a wait list for one and this is one of the best reviews I’ve seen. Thanks so much for mentioning the payload and towing capabilities and for the honest appraisal.

Best summary on the GX 550 Overtrain I've seen! Thank you!
@kdranchaz3240
I’m the General Sales Manager for Lexus of Tucson in Arizona and have been for the last 21 years. During my time here NO new generation of any of our wonderful models has generated more excitement than the all new 2024 GX550. Many comments about the engine are based on the Toyota Tundra’s design which is configured differently for the Tundra than the GX. For those who say it’s too expensive you can get the Overtrail (not the Overtrail Plus) for $10K less and lose zero off road capabilities compared to the OT Plus. For those who doubt the off road capabilities all I can tell you is I’ve never traded for so many Range Rovers, new generation Broncos, Jeep Rubicons and Toyota 4Runners and Land Cruisers than I have currently. For those who don’t need this level of off road performance with 33” OEM tires etc you can spend significantly less with the Premium Pkg or the Premium Plus Pkg. There’s a Luxury trim level and a Luxury Plus for those who want it all. Point is with 6 different trim levels there’s something for EVERYONE. For my money the Overtrail (not the OT+) is the way to go! If money is no object and you like the glass roof panels etc etc than go for the Overtrail Plus. It’s a FABULOUS vehicle that young or old, male or female EVERYONE seems to love! Lastly there is a much more rugged roof rack than the one you’ve shown for loading kayaks, gear, an available roof top tent and a whole lot more. Those step rails you show pale in comparison to the available OEM Rock Rails unique to the Overtrail Trim levels. There’s an endless array of quality accessories to take this vehicle to any level of off road capabilities one could imagine. Finally you did a really quality review and walk around! 👍 👍
@LCW_01
Great that you're mindful of the next guys in line to evaluate the unit!
@J.Stank9
Great review. Thank you for going into detail with the off road camera system
@dwaynE2099
This is a great review mate.... I love that you were considerate of other journalists with your review and treatment of the car! You're points are spot on about the average GX buyer too. As someone looking at cars like this as a future family 4x4 that can do everything I want it to do I don't see a need to smash the thing to bits. My off roading adventures are pretty moderate tracks and there's never been anything that has stressed out a standard 4x4 straight off the shelf save for some decent AT or MT tyres depending on season. Subscribed even though I'm not a US buyer as your review style is really easy to watch :)

Thanks for mentioning the payload and towing capacity.
@vagabond1776
Great video. Testing automobiles in their stock form really helps owners understand their limitations and needs.👍
@MrRangerTrace
I love my OT...not plus. Thanks for the info!!
@vernonbennettiii3646
Thanks for focusing on the real world limitations of the GX's clearances. That makes it a definite "NO" for me, in northern Michigan (which looks about the same as the terrain where you produced your video in Canada).
@propertiesbyangel
Best review of the OT+ 👏👏👏
@trailrunnah8886
Tinkerer's Adventures did a great deep dive on the suspension of this and how it articulates better than other Toyota vehicles, even modified ones. And maybe one day Toyota will figure out how to make something without a giant front end, and also realize that hiding the recovery hooks deep under the chassis is not a great idea either. I'm sure there are companies working on full replacement bumpers that will address these big issues.
@shanesmith8773
Can you review the Land Cruiser? Great job on this one!
@barrynordstrom331
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I feel Lexus and Toyota nailed the boxy styling. Looks classy and will age well. Hyundai on the other hand, failed on the Sante Fe. It looks old already and the backend is a disaster for looks.
@Levi-mg4nf
Best looking GX yet. I wonder how the long term reliability compares the 5th generation 4Runner that’s about to be phased out.
@GTHoyaz76
It is ultra capable off road you just need to be ready to damage the bumpers, remove them or get the LC that has less overhang.
@PointShiftDrive
With a lift kit and 35s, this could be perfect
