It's super cool they let you tow the trailer with it (and your own loaded one, not some empty shell). Usually manufacturers are super strict about what you can do with their press vehicles at these events. I'm impressed by that as much as I am with the vehicle itself lol I also appreciate that this video has moments of just quiet driving without talking or music over it. At 41:00 I loved that 2 minutes of just the sound of vehicle.

the others are "lackluster" because they were at press events with a lot of restrictions. it's not the content creator's faults that they can't fully review the vehicles the way they wanted to. just give it a few weeks for the first deliveries to start then you'll see proper real world usage reviews without toyota restricting them.

Excellent, very informative video. I've been following your adventures for over five years now and loved all of them. Your channel was my first subscription on KZbin l met you a few years back at the overland event in central Texas and have learned a lot about overlanding from you. I'm 77 years old and have always loved off roading since the 1960's when i built a dune buggy out of a 1955 Oldsmobile for running the dunes on South Padre Island. We removed the body, shortened the frame and put dual wheels on the back. Lots of power but really too heavy for running the dunes. My Grandmother did most of the welding for me. She was lead welder for Douglas Aircraft back in WWII. You've really got me excited about the new GX550 with your evaluation of the vehicle. I've always been a Chevrolet guy but this has me excited about the GX550. Two of my sons drive modified Toyotas; a 4 Runner and a 2006 GX470 and really like their rigs. I think the GX550 would be a good all around vehicle for our needs without a bunch of modifications needed. Thanks again for the excellent video.

For me an overlooked feature for a vehicle interior is non reflective surfaces. Amazing how the sun finds that perfect angle to shine glare into your eyes. Crome and shiny surfaces look pretty but are terrible when that glare hit you when you least expect it. Still waiting for a rear view monitor to replace the rear view mirror and side monitors mounted on the A pillar instead of side mirrors. Those side mirrors and huge A pillars create a blind spot that makes it harder to see pedestrians when making left or right turns. Finally, a convent place to mount a fire extinguisher. Love the front facing camera feature and the personal overhead drone view. Great episode, thanks for sharing.

Looking at specs i just need the standard overtrail with the HUD, all weather mats, minus the sunroof. Honestly it comes with everything else 360 camera, heated & ventilated seats, adaptive cruise control, blindspot, crawl control and much much more for 70k. Once you option a land cruiser you are at the same price. Guess it comes down to hybrid mpg or the power of a twin turbo 6. I like power myself

I was particularly impressed with how quickly the wheel spin stopped in the wheel off the ground the first time it articulated in your video. You were obviously impressed. I bet Sarah was giddy when she saw the video. I would think EKDSS will end up more reliable than the swaybar disconnect. I am concerned the sbd will end up as clunky as the 4WD engage can be sometimes; as it waits for all the players get in line to re-engage, or get out of a bind enough to slide apart.

I'm a car guy. I think the first twin-turbo vehicle to come out of Japan was the 1990 Twin Turbo Nissan Z. Previously in 1987, Toyota introduced a turbo Supra however it was a single-scroll Turbo. I am actually burned out with trucks and off-road vehicles after spending 12 years in the Army. I must admit I am drooling over the GX 550, I just earmarked my savings for it. Thanks for the show, you did a great presentation, I first saw the GX 550 in person at the Chicago Auto Show, and I cannot wait to get my hands on one for a rental before purchasing. Thanks again.

Im sure Lexus will offer that eventually even if it’s through an 3rd party……..hopefully covered by their warranty. But i share the same sentiment owning an ‘15 GX460 (she’s a pavement princess) that “if its not broke dont fix it” and not needing all the new technology because it could lead to more stuff going wrong but after watching your review being that you guys are true overlanders, made me reconsider. For the most part, other youtubers are just car reviewers not really overlanders so they would never see it from that standpoint but this is the best review i’ve seen so that really made me appreciate what Lexus has done!

Thank you! This is by far the best presentation of the GX550 to date. Every other media platform has taken it city driving or over extremely mild terrain. This GX550 Overtrail+ is very impressive! If Lexus makes a hybrid version that gets better MPG, I will seriously consider it 🤔 * Lexus Engineers* Moving the 12V from the center console up to the dash cubby-hole would allow the 4L/4H switch to take that location. If the Overtrail is only 2 rows of seats, then the rear seats should have the option to move forward/back with a manual pull handle. The sunvisor Has to be able to move the length of the window or have a separate pull flap. More ground clearance, via suspension or adding AHC, to the Overtrail would be greatly beneficial.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate how quiet the interior was over all those different ruts and off-road scenarios. The 460 was quiet too it’s put together really well, there are some vehicles that feel like they will fall apart on washboard roads. Does the rear locker engage right away like the center diff on the 460? Toyota rear lockers take forever I was wondering if it works better on a Lexus…….

yes absolutely do some more testing with this thang. very impressive. and very interesting to think about aftermarket coming on line and what things will, and more importantly WONT be needed on a truck that set up already. id just like to say, on the topic of people not liking all of the new tech and malarkey as he put it, it makes me sad to see so much resistance to things without actually giving it a chance. however i do understand, because whats at the core of that problem is just fear of change. and thats a really valid thing, especially when its things you care about alot that are changing. but we need to be more opened minded, because when you give things a fair chance you will find alot that you like, and alot of things that will make you fall in love with what you care about all over again! i mean cmon, the cameras showing you the trail is just the best. not to say there arent problems with new tech, but their are problems with everything. and hey, atleast you can still enjoy the fact that this company isnt going electric for a while still hahaha. (although the torque will be unmatched when that happens ;) ) great video!

Great comment! Thanks for sharing that. Agree with the general aversion to tech but I also understand why some are opposed. But, if we don't try we'll never get better, right? Pre-production testing is the key.

@@LifestyleOverland yea you're absolutely right because the worst thing about the tech industry is chasing whatever the new trend is and creating complete garbage just to say you're part of it. Then later it gets figured out and set right, like how we now know that people want analog buttons and dash controls for some things, not everything in a touch screen lol

That’s the rear seat leg room like compared to the 460. Also how do you find using touch buttons for the HVAC when driving compared to having physical buttons?

Honestly ive always been a 4runner guy but Lexus has been growing on me.. When you think overland its mainly 4runner, Tacoma, Jeep, land rover. Alot of those lack more power and these models of Lexus having the V8 is something we all need in our lives. Also the esthetics arent too bad either 👌 Something that'll always have a leg up on any other car is the resale value of a 4 runner and Tacoma.

Except they are done with the V8. The new LX(US version of the Land Cruiser 300) and this GX550 are both twin turbo 6 cylinder engines.

Outstanding review compared to the many others I have watched. It's awesome to actually get a review where you were able to test it out with your trailer albeit not to its limits but still ok. Your real world experience in hauling family and stuff is what makes a huge difference for us that love to do the same. Sooo I will be purchasing a new Toyota/Lexus within the next two years and selling my 05' 100Series LC while holding onto my 04' Tundra. The big question for me is new LC + Premium pkg or GX Overtrail? The price appears to be within $10K or so when you get down to it. In comparison, is the GX fit and finish that much better? Is the GX more comfortable? Capability appear very similar as does internal room/storage? This may sound stupid, but the the most significant difference at this point that keeps the LC in the picture is the hybrid and ~5mpg difference and reg unleaded vs premium as I expect both powertrains to have very good performance and reliability to be equally excellent. If/when GX goes hybrid it seems like a no brainer for me. decisions decisions and thanks again for your insight.

GX OT is best, many added features not available on LC. E-KDSS, adaptive variable suspension, etc. I thought that both GX and LC were premium gas in a video I saw.

Other than gas mileage (which is what it is coming from a built out 4RU), my only hang up is the winch compatibility. Any thoughts on how that’s gonna mount with a modified front end?

How deep is the bottom cushion. I've only had my 470 a few months but I am probably going to sell it and keep looking for another Sequoia.

Thanks for the in-depth review. It would be cool if Lexus/Toyota would provide dealer-installed options like bull bar/winch, sliders, under armor, steel rear bumper with swing outs, and so on. I'd love to get factory-approved options on a truck like this.

OT can come with sliders (rails) which are the real deal apparently and yet lighter than most aftermarket ones.

For me, the real overland vehicle you own is the 1980 landcruiser. Extremely simple, repairable on the trail, and doesn't cost me my first-born to purchase. However, this newer version of the Lexus has some technology that I do like.
