2024 Lexus Gx 550 Luxury Trim - First Look At The 3rd Row!

[@ravensfootball52]

The gx is better looking then the Land Cruiser

[@TRDJon]

The more and more I see the GX the more I fall for it

[@karlhungus777]

True dat.

[@fredmagic09]

I agree 10000%

[@FLYFISH4x4]

Hot take

[@enamulsarker7011]

But also way more expensive

[@sleepii15]

Really can’t wait to see this in person! I think it looks great!!

[@TRDJon]

Can't wait!

[@carsadviceandreviews]

Was nice meeting you.. keep up the great work!

[@TRDJon]

Thanks, you too! I appreciate you saying what’s up!!!!

[@MUISHAGGY572]

Wow Lexus finally made a good looking suv and very good looking in my opinion the best looking suv right now. The one they used in the Lexus official channel looks so futuristic and the color they used is the best silver I've ever seen in any vehicle i think its called atomic silver.

[@Cocora22]

On the VERY positive side I like that with all the seats down you have a flat surface all the way to the back of the front seats. Does not seem to be the case with the Overtrail.

[@kieransurfs]

Love the captain chairs and 3rd row seats!! I really hope it’s affordable

[@TRDJon]

I’m thinking mid 60-70s for the GX to start

[@jwlafferty]

I wish I could justify buying this, the Land Cruiser, a 6th gen 4Runner and a Land Rover of some kind.

[@ariso]

Pano roof makes this a Luxury+ trim. First video seeing the 2nd row captain seats and I think they look great. Only things I would change are the rims, that look kinda odd, and prefer the painted roof seen on the Overtrail.

[@LL1684L2]

I'm patiently awaiting the OverTrail version to arrive. I'm also hoping the length will be shorter than my existing '17 Tacoma Off-Road (short-bed) as my garage is a limiting factor. I don't want to wait another year for the revamped '25 4Runner, although that forthcoming '25 4Runner looks as if it might be more to what I need/want.

[@logical-minds]

Damn I thought the third row was bigger. We need more fullsize third row options especially in the Japanese brand market.

[@snorlaxTACO]

Toyota Jeff!!! We see u bro!

[@redzoom7857]

The pearl white is becoming a contender for my favorite color on this one. Along with the Nightfall Mica.

[@bigfishlittleboat4069]

Exact spec we ordered and are waiting for. Lexus hit a home run on this.

[@TRDJon]

Only con is the MPG imo but everything else is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jml9550]

If I were worry about MOG I might as well get a Rivian. 😊

[@erzhanerzhik6517]

​@@TRDJonкакой расход на галон?

[@dobr4986]

Did they give you a total price yet?

[@KRIPSYNODUTS]

@@TRDJonif we get 20, then everyone will be happy.

[@Heavencloud]

Wish there was a Lexus truck with 3 rows + bigger cargo (XL version of this or LX)

[@TRDJon]

Yea that would be nice. Wish the same for the Toyota side too

[@ALMX5DP]

Yeah I think that would have been the Sequoia but Toyota decided to make the hybrid system standard and eat up some people/cargo space. An LX600L based in that would have been cool.

[@EdwardEimiller]

This is the one I would buy for sure

[@TRDJon]

Heck ya man!

[@JCVACCARO]

Hope there's an F Sport in the near future. Love the wheels.

[@TRDJon]

For sure. Wheels look great.

[@LaneSebringlive]

This is the exact one I want. Luxury Plus in white. 🙌

[@TRDJon]

Yesssss. Nice choice man!

[@alexduque3105]

for anyone asking the cargo space with the third row on the new gx 550 has much more space than the current one

[@CorporalBetlog]

i like how the 3rd row folds flat compared to the sequoia

[@Bestfriend-650]

Very beautiful re-design. I have two main issues - 1) Less trunk space behind 3rd row. 2) Low gas mileage. Other than that it is a solid SUV. I currently drive a GLE350 and hoping to get a Lexus next. As much as I like space in TX, I do not like the design. I prefer GX boxy design over the TX.

[@RKHouse1]

17mpg for a 2024 luxury SUV!? No way, this beautiful package deserves a PHEV

[@TRDJon]

I agree. I'm sure it will in the future

[@stephanieashley4613]

Beautiful vehicle.

[@jaybanthony]

I think it's beautiful. Hopefully they have it in Red as well.

[@sotohc96]

Lexus really knocked it out of the park with the GX

[@samsonchan1488]

That’s awesome that the V6 is an option…Tried and true power plant.

[@sherwinrasmusenmusicchannel]

My next suv, to save up for the Over-trail Plus. There’s actually no difference between this and the LX 600 engine wise both use a TwinTurbo V6 the LX it’s just a little bit bigger but this is plenty for me. I’m a mechanical engineer and it it solid. Also, I too like the grill on the GX 550 vs the 460 it is not as bug and tacky or screams here I am. Also, here’s a little bit of a tip if you want to just have a pavement Princess, then go with the Lexus RX the whole point of getting a G exes so you can go off Roading

[@zkk288]

Great video Jon! I’ve been waiting to see how space worked on the 3rd row GX. I’d love to see you get one and get your thoughts on daily driving vs 4Runner.

[@TRDJon]

I'd love to have one too!

[@bluethundar]

Been needing a large SUV to replace my 2003 Sequoia for several years now. Been eyeing the new Sequoia since it was unveiled, but that turn out to be a dud. Eyeing the 2022/2023 GX for the last 2 yrs, but can't stomach the rear door and small interior space. The Grand Highlander and the TX are very enticing, but lets face it, they're just lifted minivans. This GX looks to check all the boxes, except maybe the mpg, but hoping it'll be better than 17. I can't wait.

[@TRDJon]

Yea I hope when the EPA is done with it maybe somehow magically it gets 20

[@wkndwarrior4733]

I am surprised they didn’t do better with the trunk space when 3rd row is up.

[@BLR653]

Jon, can you compare Overtrail cargo area vs Land Cruiser? Be a big deciding point between the two based on how much cargo space that battery eats up.

[@corradettimotorsports360]

she's a premium unit for sure, with any "off road" styled SUV, Boxy is Good! and this is no different! sign me up!

[@TRDJon]

Yessir!

[@mjv1967]

The interior looks like a black hole vs the older GX460. It needs more variety in materials and colours.

[@TRDJon]

They do for this one.

[@jeffc.72]

LMAO! Did you say Peasant Blockers?!?! 🤣😂

[@sayedhaqiqhashemi5006]

Love this color

[@Tigermeg816]

Still wish they would offer an off road package on a 3 row….. my next SUV will have 3rd Row…… May end up with a sequoia…..

[@jml9550]

Sequoia TRD Pro all day everyday

[@---rg1gb]

@TRDJon How did the massaging seats feel? decent? too weak?

[@TRDJon]

Too weak imo

[@ashebirbelachew9607]

The funny thing is no heads-up display

[@bbailey7976]

Awesome!!

[@TRDJon]

Thanks!

[@jacobrich6119]

Have to say, pretty disappointed that on the first ever GX to have a pano roof that it doesn’t actually open… was going to get the Luxury + for the power running boards and pano roof. Now I’ll likely reconsider.

[@Lion_King_143]

SAME HERE.... DISAPPOINTED... PANO ROOF SHOULD OPEN... AND WOOD ACCENT INTERIOR WOULD BE NICER SINCE IT IS A LUXURY. AND OPTION FOR NATURAL ASPHI V8 WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.

[@jeffturner1573]

This may be the dopest looking new wheeler! Stupid clean!

[@carlosviscarra1]

Not sure how I feel about the Turbo

[@alexduque3105]

Can’t wait to trade mine in I have a 2021 and this competes with all the suvs on the market

[@TacoTruck17]

I'm saving for a Trail model, waiting for intrest rates to come down!

[@coloradocolin1]

Nice!

[@TRDJon]

Thanks for watching man

[@Obiwill7]

Hey Jon, is the new Land Cruiser at the LA auto show? I really want to see it in person. Either way the gx should be close enough for me to get an idea of the size

[@TRDJon]

It's not unfortunately. I was really hoping to see the 1st Edition here...

[@Obiwill7]

@@TRDJon same here. I have a deposit on one and was hoping to see it. Looks like there will be other cool cars to check out either way. Thanks again

[@TRDJon]

For sure! You can get a vibe of the LC with the GX though imo

[@rbb1111]

Pricing just came out today. 65k-75k

[@TRDJon]

Anywhere official? Or is it like the Tacoma pricing that a KZbinr covered that was way off? Lol

[@rbb1111]

@@TRDJon from dealer. Gx 550 premium -62,900 Premium + 67,900 Luxury -75,900 Lux + 79,900 Overtrail -67,900 Overtrail + 75,900

[@TRDJon]

Which dealer man?

[@rbb1111]

Longo in southern Cali

[@TRDJon]

Copy that

[@patricklachance3187]

If I had this kind of money, I wouldn't hesitate a bit! But I'll wait and get the 4Runner... Ah, tough life!

[@TRDJon]

I feel you bro

[@jml9550]

4Runner will be at least $50k though.

[@TRDJon]

For sure depends on trim. The 4R is already 50K

[@performancecartel]

Want it from the outside but the only thing that kills me is the trunk space same with the sequoia

[@TRDJon]

This vehicle is smaller than the Sequoia

[@performancecartel]

I'm just saying I like both of them but the trunk space alone makes me not want either one at the same time

[@95YotaPickup]

Does anyone know if the front passenger seat is electronically controlled or is that just the driver side?

[@limixz28]

Hah, Toyota Jeff cameo was awesome

[@mcscootie]

This will be quarter of a million in Australia because we get SHAFTED !!

[@hakunamatata-o2y]

Omg, what’s up with the lack of cargo space behind 3rd row. Why can’t they make it just a little longer to have everything in one vehicle: Premium SUV + 8 passengers + Cargo space

[@TRDJon]

It's a mid sized SUV

[@inteldude12]

Great video Jon! Thanks for sharing your feel for the size/comfort of the GX. Looks like a new 4Runner but James Bond Tuxedo edition 😎. You have any info on when pricing is going to be announced?!? Thanks

[@TRDJon]

Good call! lol hahah. I'd say Dec/Jan timeframe for pricing. We get to drive these in Jan so the pricing should be around that time.

[@rnak4629]

Very professional presentation despite all the people interfering with the filming

[@TRDJon]

Thank you man. I try to keep my cool. Lots of edits lol

[@Mznxbvakshdhwkuer]

Idk if it’s just me, but strictly interior wise, I think the GX460 has more of a luxury feel and look than the GX550 with the color combinations and materials Lexus used on door panels/arm rests/dashboard.

[@njt7117]

Great review. This would be the trim and color combo I would choose too. I would like to get in the 2nd row to see how comfortable it will be compared to the TX. Will there by a hybrid version of the GX?

[@TRDJon]

Not at the moment but there will be a hybrid in the future. I felt more comfortable in these middle seats than the TX

[@njt7117]

​@@TRDJon Hey thanks. What made you feel more comfortable in the 2nd row of the GX? I love the GX design but the practical part of me thinks the TX would be better. If the GX 2nd row is good for 2 older kids and a dog crate I may put this at the top of my list!

[@TRDJon]

TX has way more space inside for passenger comfort. If that is your goal then I would go that route for sure.

[@chileshemubanga3594]

When it comes to the Land cruiser 300 vs Lexus LX it's really no contest I'll go with the 300,but when it comes to the 2024 Land cruiser 250 vs Lexus GX 550 it's tough coz the latter is an awesome design!.infact i even prefer it over it's big brother the LX imo.

[@afzalshaikh2128]

Does 3rd row have more space than Grand highlander

[@honestbrahm]

Third row seats still look too low to the ground 😢

[@Phi.D.888]

The real question is, which ever vehicle (gx550 or landcruiser) is available, and how much you're willing to pay it over msrp price with dealer markup.

[@cryMOREjaja]

Max is 2 kids for this lol. That trunk space with the third row is horrendous

[@shaneh734]

Amazing review and beautiful truck 💯

[@TRDJon]

Thank you! 👍

[@krassimirpetrov7131]

Reminds me of my 01 sequoia , still more cargo room past the 3rd row tho

[@kal-el3530]

Not trying to nit pick because I love what Lexus has done. But why show us the prototype GX where the rear windshield wiper blade was hidden under the spoiler of the roof, and now the production vehicles all have them in plain view. 😩 Be different Lexus!

[@ferrarienzodino]

there are two cons in my opinion... the MPG is terrible and you cant get a third row in the overtrail. When im not camping with my family I want the third row capability

[@mongulai7897]

yes, i would buy premium with 3rd row and change tire and wheels.

[@ПЁТРПЁТР-е6ь]

добрый день. Покажите пожалуйста как он ведёт себя на дороге, в поворотах, как разгоняется ? как тормозит ? какой расход топлива ?

Still feel like getting latest 460 is a great option with the v8 😊

[@hhlol9477]

3:47 Where’s the volume knob? 😂

[@VinhLy-w8w]

Warning!!! Don’t buy any new Lexus with the Mark levinson sound system!!! Lexus put a fuse cutout to protect their known blown speakers!! The system will shutdown when you listen to any sound with strong bass.maximum volume is 63 but I can only listen to my at 49 in my 2023 Gx. Call Lexus the manufacturer and ask them about it first before you buy!!!! Even the Lexus dealerships don’t know about it!!!

You should stop turning it up so loud and save yourself from a future of hearing aids.

Peasant blockers?

Why cant they not make these cars with a proper 3rd row -- i can fit 6 people in my now retired crown Vic. Need 7 seater for something that big

[@dereke6408]

Off topic, but the channel RobMotive shared a video a couple days ago regarding pricing of the 24 Taco. Your thoughts?

[@TRDJon]

Completely wrong lol. I almost commented on it but didn’t wanna be that guys. But the prices are very wrong.

[@dereke6408]

Think I just saw you on a TFLTruck short riding in the passenger seat of a TRD Sport Taco.

[@TRDJon]

Yessir! Me, Toyota Jeff, and Pushing Pistons rode together

[@MrDannysomebody]

When is it going on sale ?

[@JohnJohnCrusher]

About the interior color -- it looks grey, not black. But clearly isn't two-tone like the dapple grey in the brochure. Do you remember which interior color it is? I ordered dapple grey so as to not have a totally blacked out interior. But if this is what "black" looks like, I'd rather have this! The perils of ordering pre-production...

[@TRDJon]

This was a bit more black in person imo. The show lights and my camera kinda give it a brighter look than it should.

[@TRDJon]

Tbh I have no idea about that one

[@abrarabukhdeir]

Hi Jon! Do you know if the third row has anchor points or tethers? Thank you

[@TRDJon]

I believe so for car seats

[@gregjoubert5118]

I like it. But, maybe it's just me the 22's are a bit much.

[@TRDJon]

Yea I think 20s would be perfect.

[@muhammdwaheed8651]

Am sure this suv is +70k so it should get cooled rear seats to

[@TRDJon]

Agreed

[@robertmatthew2146]

I am going to buy one, if the ride and handling are superb! But I want the two rows not three !

[@TRDJon]

Good choice!

[@jeremygavin4084]

[@michaellugo8013]

The 2024 Lexus Gx 550 overtrail+ is not the top of the line which one is of the GX 550's i think 75,900 dollars is starting price for the overtrail+

[@danielmiller9012]

Top of the line / most expensive is Luxury+

[@JibrilMubaraj]

Is some how go but the third row seat is not full comfortable

[@TRDJon]

Not sure what you mean

[@wj2791]

All GX looks better from outside especially from the rear.

17 MPG PREMIUM??? NO WAY!!! SHOULD HAVE JUST RETAINED THE NATURALLY ASPHIRATED V8 ENGINE, WAY COOLER, MORE RELIABLE!!!

[@jpdoc5722]

more 3rd row room than TX?

[@TRDJon]

I feel the TX has a bit more

[@MrDudleytheCat]

1000 less towing than the standard model or Overtrail. Can’t get 3 rows and towing in a higher end trim.

Needs more HORSE POWERS for this SMOKEY GX550 ❤ TO BE DEVELOPED 600HP ❤

[@theofficialpeterkim]

We just got a 23LX600 and this GX has as much features or more and comparable size to it.

[@TRDJon]

The GX wins for me over the LX for sure.

[@karlhungus777]

You should buy one, upgrade the wheels & tires, then sell it 2 months later, for cash.

[@TRDJon]

Lol man if it was that easy haha

[@tiffblabrad]

Price???

[@TRDJon]

This is around 83K

[@tecbcards]

17 MPG on Premium, I love our 2013 GX but stink they were not able to get better fuel efficiency thats a huge draw back with prices at the pump going up and up and up

Why wouldn't you tell the price?
