The GX550 is Hands down the GOAT of all the new Toyota Vehicles. Its the dream rig for sure!

[@TheUnorthodoxx]

It's still a Prado/LC 250 and amazing!

[@LifestyleOverland]

I agree, it's my favorite of all the new platforms.

[@jimskatr103]

Common longevity!!! :)

[@2URLex]

Love how involved Lexus has become with their consumers, I simply can’t wait to see one in person and what the aftermarket has in store for these. I’m in love with that Earth color for sure. Great video!

[@J.Young808]

I got to catch a quick view of an Earth (I think) Overtrail a couple of weeks ago going the opposite direction here in Honolulu. That is the one I would get to add to my 2023 Tacoma ACLB TRD Off Road to take family & friends around.

[@asplmn]

Test drove one a couple of weeks back. Not a bad looking bit of kit, but looks better in photos than in real life, IMO. My wife and I walked away with a different Lexus that day. ;)

[@fourrunner5462]

Yes that's how it should be.

[@Michael_Tran]

Seeing you pull the trailer through those rutted steep hills was truly impressive Kevin! This GX will make a great overlanding rig for sure.

[@LifestyleOverland]

For a stock Lexus it was crazy how well it did in this situation. 👍

[@brianlowe753]

Looking forward to picking up our 550 from dealer this week in north Florida and will order another of Kevin’s “Topo Bear” stickers to its backside.

[@ThatOneDudeNick]

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.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Honestly, that blew my mind as well 😲 Such a great opportunity to get a feel for it

[@TheUnorthodoxx]

I watched so many reviews/impressions on this vehicle and they were lackluster. I knew you would be bringing a real world impression of this vehicle, thanks for this! You did an excellent job Kevin! We saw this at our local Lexus two months ago and we already knew there will be a markup because they did JUST THAT WELL! I think this will replace our 2009 Jeep Commander.

[@floofy117]

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.

[@TheUnorthodoxx]

@@floofy117 I understand that, the ones I referred to were the press release 2 months ago. I understand this but Kevin uses the vehicle in a particular way that most reviewers have no clue about.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Glad you liked it! Super stoked for its future.

[@enjoytheridedude]

I drove a demo GX550 overtrail + at the dealership yesterday. It was sooooo Goood…now I’m hooked on the idea of having one 🤣 but I also want to keep my truck 😂

[@grailguns7278]

Tell your wife you need one for a long term test for us viewers. I need someone to tell my wife I need this truck! Thanks for the drive and commentary.

[@altcode1510]

Yes! We Wan you to take both, Aspen and the GX 550 on the trail for a 1 or 2 weeks trip to really test them and highlight the differences and enhancements. I am very happy Toyota / Lexus recognize your work and invited you to test the new GX 550

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks! It was awesome after 10 years of using their stuff to get that message

[@anthonyaz6525]

TWO KIDS PLAYING WITH A TOY, GOTTA LOVE THAT.

[@johnstone2664]

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.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thank you so much for sharing that and for riding along with us for so long! I was also a GM guy for many years but since getting out 4Runner we've fallen in love with Toyota (obviously). 😁

[@OffroadLogisticsandTraining]

Awesome! So glad you had a great time. Great video work as usual. It was cool to get eyes on how it articulated through the arroyo.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks so much, guys! Awesome job with coordinating the event 🙌

[@toyotas4ever]

Awesome video! Your videos are so easy to watch compared to some other you tuber's. Great job showing the experience of the new Lexus. That appears to be a very capable and comfortable vehicle. Definitely would not be opposed to watching you and your family's travel while driving one of those. Always enjoy seeing the places y'all visit and the work you do on Silver, Aspen and The Beast. Happy you got the opportunity to drive the GX550 and share the experience with all of us.

[@1a1u0g9t4s2u]

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.

[@J.Young808]

I also hate reflections. I have sensitive eyes, the hood of my ‘23 Tacoma has a concave edge right by the windshield which reflects sun from many angles.

[@ronaldbishop9873]

I would love to see you put it through the paces given your experience.

[@Tony-hf9mv]

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

[@archstanton664]

Really appreciate Kevin doing a review on the passenger seat. I never realized how much I actually don't like my 4Runner's passenger seat until I sat in it for the first time after years of ownership. Also noting how the placement of the 4H/4L select could be problematic.

[@jcberb]

Typing up a paper for my MBA course as I listen and glimpse over at your video on occasion, your videos are peaceful and pleasant. Absolutely fantastic, job well done!

[@thefemininetomboy7109]

Fantastic review! So thorough on things that are important to Overlanders. Hope you get one for your adventures!

[@jamesstein5952]

I'm glad you were able to test the new platform and share your opinion with the overland community. For the first time I'm thinking of giving up my Tundra for this rig. Hopefully you can do further research to see what the minimum needs are to get this rig trail ready.

[@rayrichardson6378]

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks so much!

[@texaslandcruiser]

Great review, loved that you got to test with the trailer!

[@srandyt2]

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.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Yes, it was much more controlled and instant! The EKDSS was also spectacular.

[@BKM5931]

Well done sir!! Loved hearing your honest and thorough opinion! I wanted one before but now I REALLY want one! I’ll sadly have to wait a few years for a used one. But I can tell the wait will be worth it! 😃👏

[@45snakebite]

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. New subscriber...

[@TheAlchemistCollective]

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!

[@GajahDom0515]

Cool to see Kurt from XO featured with Lexus here as well as Toyota in XOs videos!

After seeing the 4runner, Lexus is going on the back burner

[@J.Young808]

I do like the the look of the 4Runner and that they kept the roll down back window. I probably would also get the T4R over this just because of price and MPG (87vs91 octane too)

[@LifestyleOverland]

Yeah? You like that design better?

[@Outdoor_MED]

@@LifestyleOverland I like both designs but i am 4runner fan boy so 😂 The price tag of the 550 is nuts

Ecstatic about your thoughts on this platform I am so excited to get my family’s GX550 Overtrail+ that’s is on order. I would love to see the 550 more on your families travels to further hear your opinions on this rig. Loved the video Cant wait to hear Sarah and Caroline’s opinion on the GX too. Stay curious

[@josephvallier1152]

Thanks for taking the time to make this review. At the end you mentioned adding some clearance enhancements. Are you thinking it needs a lift? Will adding a lift mess with the geometry of the suspension in a negative way?

[@LifestyleOverland]

I'm curious to see what aftermarket does with this. Honestly it's never enough lift, lol. But this will do 98% of most trails no problem which is crazy for a stock LEXUS 😲

[@kirkadams9245]

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.

[@steveegbert7429]

That is one sweet rig! I want one. I am curious if the HUD shows the front tire placement like the screen does? That would be perfection for trail work.

[@Cleophis1975]

Quite a far departure from my GX470. But I'm excited about it.

[@connienelson1515]

Please do some more testing. I am impressed.

[@srgerhart]

Great video. I hope to see you test drive the new 4Runner Trailhunter or TRD Pro and give a comparison. Curious if the 4Runner offers heads up display. The EKDSS is a huge plus for the GX vs the 4Runner.

[@brianh5393]

A manual trailer brake controller is a must for offroad in both hi and low range. It's the difference between being pushed off a cliff or avoiding it.

[@richshan529]

I think Lexus should give you one of these for a 1 year, long term test experience, with some mods to that storage area for a fridge, electric power, an inverter and maybe an on board air compressor too.

[@timdavenport2943]

I'm definitely looking forward to you making that difficult decision for future adventurers for the channel.🤔

[@Corbellic1]

Best review I seen online. You're more practical

[@fouUili684]

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…….

[@shinjis]

I love your review based on your own perspectives. Many others are just talking the same stuff all over. They talk about the same thing with any other cars. Not interesting. Anyway, I hope you have a chance to do the similar video with new 4Runner. I am very curious of its powertrain. I am not quite excited about hybrids, since batteries eat up cargo space. Anyway, keep your own unique perspective. Thanks!

[@e.c.8668]

yeah...a side by side, week long trip with Aspen and a 550 would make for a cool video. But I just can't imagine paying that much money for a car...ever. We'll have to replace our Highlander in a few years and we'll have to figure out what we can do. Maybe a base model. Keep up the great work.

[@4xhoser]

I really like it, I want one now’ I enjoyed a real person that I know’s review. I’ll be curious how it handles bigger tires, and the longevity with that, especially the electric steering! 👌🤘🇨🇦

[@LifestyleOverland]

It's going to be an interesting path forward! If anyone can do it right the first time, it's Lexus/Toyota.

[@J.Young808]

Yes get a longer term tester so you can deep dive for us.

[@marcochavanne]

Really wish a 3rd row was an option on the Overtrail trims.

[@bdogthegreat1]

4runner guys (me) be like “yeah, but the back glass doesn’t roll down!” 😂 looks pretty sweet! I wouldn’t want to lose the center console to a cool box though. Did it have/did you use stabilizer disconnect? Great video!

[@LifestyleOverland]

I think the coolbox is optional. This has EKDSS so it doesn't need to disconnect like a traditional sway bar. It's a crazy cool design.

[@spaulagain]

Overtrail has eKDSS which disconnects sway bars automatically.

[@OldelCpt]

@@spaulagainit not only disconnects it or connects it, it can be set in an analog way, like 25% or 50% depending on the mode used : snow, mud etc. According to a Lexus engineer in a video. All automatically.

[@austinkent7728]

Pro tip... Check out M43 cameras. You won't need any storage for them because a 24-300 lens will fit in the cup holder keeping the drinks in the cool box. 👍👍

[@ryanmedes9417]

Excellent review. I actually cancelled my GX reservation but this video made me regret that decision as we put down a deposit on a Rivian.

[@koijoijoe]

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!

[@LifestyleOverland]

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.

[@koijoijoe]

@@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

[@Mark.AUS.]

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?

[@Invertmini1212]

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.

[@nateekis3982]

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.

[@charleshicks3492]

That was superb, I’ll take one 🤩🤣🤣⭐️

[@Jonathan-io1fx]

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.

[@OldelCpt]

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.

[@Jonathan-io1fx]

I’ve seen both regular and premium for the LC. Something like recommended but not required?

[@benjemmett6460]

Yes please test it

[@jasonwise7075]

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?

[@pkt1213]

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.

[@lowe-landeroutdoors0407]

Interested in your thoughts on the new 4runner

[@sgoldste02]

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.

[@OldelCpt]

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

[@donaldwatson6342]

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.
