      The NX and RX JUST got redesigned and the TX was likely designed alongside this so I think this look will be uniquely to the GX unless the refresh LX picks up some of its design language

    Overtrail for me. That extra cargo space is very important for me. I carry a lot of stuff and long items frequently. my 4Runner 89.7 cu ft was just enough to be acceptable with the roll down window to carry lumber this weekend. But that luxury trim is tempting tho.

    The 2024 Lexus GX is the most handsome Lexus I've ever seen! The design is absolutely perfect! Too bad the Luxury's Dynamic Plus panoramic sunroof doesn't slide open and the Overtrail's sunroof, while does open, only covers the front passengers. Also no option for 2nd row ventilated seats on all trims. I hope Lexus offers them on the next model year (even as options) like in the new TX!

    Great update and they will sell a lot of them BUT, I have one gripe that seems like an obvious poor design choice. The upper inside door trim (driver window sill) has got this pointy design to it that is just absolutely annoying to rest your arm on. I come from a 4x4 with a nice flat low wind sill to rest your arm on, it's fantastic by comparison. Why would Lexus design something that is purposefully annoying to rest your arm on? it makes zero sense. Minor issue I know, but it's those daily touch points that really make you comfortable in a vehicle.

    @amode8761 11 месяцев назад

    Thanks Kirk for the lineup review.
    I know there’s a lot of hype about the design of the new Prado and GX but I really would have preferred if they left that styling for an all new FJ and JX. When you’re soo used to the Prado and GX supposed to being more premium looking design and a bit like the Range Rover Sport is to the Range Rover… for me it’s a lot of change. I guess it’s not feasible for Lexus to have a JX (Defender), GX (RRS) and LX (RR). The 2850mm wheelbase limit probably also limits having 3 models… the LX should have been 3050mm so the GX could be 2950mm and JX at 2850mm so the latter still perfect for off roading.
    The two-tone interior is also not my preference for the Premium and Luxury grades

    Put me in the hate camp when it comes to the barn door in back. I also hated the built-in 3rd row in the 460. I've got no need for a 3rd row and the built-in 3rd row in the GX uses up a ton of room, even when collapsed.

    The name is funny. It should be GX340 instead of GX550.

      Lexus kinda threw away that whole number meaning displacement thing a while back with the LX600 (having the same engine as this GX), NX/RX/TX 350 having a 2.4L etc

    Don't know why everyone is so excited about the 550, it is so bland, can't tell if it is a Toyota or a Jeep from the rear. They had to spell out Lexus so you didn't think it is a Toyota Grand Highlander. Come on, this is a huge disappointment, no KDSS, no distinctive styling and to add insult to injury, they did away with the V8. Twin turbo because the 6 cylinder is too weak to power the car without the boost from the turbo Glad I bought the 460 in February, distinctive, no mistaking it for a Toyota or Jeep and I won't have to replace the turbos at 100K miles. Also, its recalled before it even hit the market. Total fail.
