Build Quality's Important.. // 2024 Lexus GX550 Review

[@chx4eva]

You make the best reviews ever. Nobody goes under to show us what's underneath

[@jimbo_dilly1675]

Never heard of Savage Geese...

[@psyberiusblack]

@@jimbo_dilly1675I think my wife’s boyfriend watches him.

[@douglaseweber]

The Sarah hair accelerometer on that braking test was off the chart

[@bitkarek]

coz of the nose dive :)

[@LearningJeff]

True that, big front dive, short distance.

[@Wallamoose59]

The Sarah brake test HAIR ACCELEROMETER will also need to include a hair departure angle measure

[@carlashton9331]

I usually hate the way newer cars look, but I saw one of these at a light the other day and was pretty impressed.

[@TOBYH]

I LOVE THE NEW SQUARE BOXIER LOOK.

[@redlinenorma1]

Doesn't look pretty from the back, it's too narrow and the wheels look too narrow, making it visually weak, compared to the mega mean facia...

[@bradzimmerman3171]

⁠@@redlinenorma1I thought the same thing (maybe wider tires would help???)

[@sixfootfourmike]

They are gorgeous in person.

[@Jc-bv9fd]

Really appreciate that you put all of your vehicles reviews up on the lift. Great tech information. Plus I love all the humor! Great channel!

[@sickjohnson]

Sarah delivering some of the best car reviews on KZbin like always! Lexus looking real strong with their heavy weight contender GX550.

[@peterhowells7309]

Greetings from Scotland! Of all the vehicle reviewers I watch - your humour (English spelling) is way off the charts compared to any others! Your wackiness (is that a word?) fits with me perfectly! Keep it just the way it is young lady! Love it! 😊😊

[@jamespielou9591]

You should have said humour, correct spelling.😀

[@peterhowells7309]

@@jamespielou9591 Nah, I'm not English, so it's "English spelling!" For us Celts it would be "Àbhachdas" 😊😊👍👍

[@Primus54]

I was behind one of these at a stoplight yesterday. Was surprised to see the “LEXUS” block lettering on the tailgate because it looks nothing like previous generation GXs to my eye. Love the off-the-cuff humor you always manage to include in these reviews, particularly the deciphering of symbols. 😆 Thank you, Sarah 👍👍👍

[@kidd7359]

Did the back look Chinese K carish, in real life?

[@ToyotaChrisWI]

The camera inside the tailgate is for the digital rear view mirror to show an unobstructed view. Flip the switch on the rear view mirror to turn on the monitor. 😊

[@John-hw3ds]

Was a signature away from purchasing a white overtrail about a month ago. They were about 5k over msrp with stupid add-ons. I asked them to remove them and they wouldn't budge. I walked, and a week later they called and said they would remove them😂! It's a sweet suv. I loved it. Maybe next year I'll get one. When they called back the sales manager said he really wanted my 21 Toyota ORP with only 19k on the odo. They offered me 38k for it. I paid 44k 3 years previous.

[@Energy.Theory]

So why didn’t you do it?

[@WayneSchowalter]

It’s the jokes I look forward to. The jokes about seeing the burned-in sun in your eyes and the deciphering of the symbols on whatever that was next to the driver’s seat were hilarious. And I agree with the person about the Sarah Breaking Hair. “O.K.!” and then POW!, out flies the hair. Love it all. Thanks.

[@StirlingLighthouse]

All my Lexus live in Texas. Thanks a bunch Sarah 🙏

[@c.a.nixiii4650]

19:53 My exact vehicle! 2004 GX470 237K miles running and looking perfect. Thanks for the shout out!

[@spaulagain]

Bummed you weren't able to get the Overtrail trim. Hopefully you can get one to test in the future.

[@niklaswejedal463]

I like it that it looks purposeful and utalitarian despite being the Luxury Plus - no chrome! yay! - and I love that you take it on the Rally Special Stage 2.0 and off-road test, even if it is not the dedicated off-road version, Sarah! ❤ I don't need to say it was another top-notch review, but I will anyway - this was another top-notch review! Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!

[@stephenmoxley3004]

Great review, Sarah. You're the only car reviewer that squeals tires in the dirt! Your review drives home the point that Lexus cars, built in Japan, are simply the best. BTW...I love your cute shoes. Keep up the great work.

[@bliers]

Super review as always! Not bad climbing for open f/r diffs.

[@Yuval_L1974]

You're my new favourite YT car reviewer. Your level of vehicular build and function coverage is superb, and your manner of humour is both quirky and delightful. Your engineering background comes to fore with your insights. Two thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MarkNaccarato-gz3fr]

Best reviews on the internet! Bought my Corolla Morizo Gr after watching your review on it!!

[@kavalere]

20:39 best comment of this vid. That number truly did have a purpose. Thanks for calling that out.......

[@twotrackjack2260]

Agreed. The only reasonable solution to this, imo is a stronger transmission that will support 550 lbft tq and power output to match.

[@Corhone]

It didn't always make sense i.e. 600h

[@escdefender]

The real one to be looking out for doing a review is the Ineos Grenadier. Severely overbuilt for offroad, extremely heavy duty undercarriage, triple locked differentials. Can’t wait for you to get your hands on one of those.

[@mitchellsteindler]

If you can get them to lock!

[@SamIAm-yd8cs]

Great review, love the looks on this generation! I am still driving my first gen 2003 Gx470, with the 2 UZ. These trucks last a lifetime if you take care of them. Ps, you have the best car reviews on KZbin, well done!

[@mrwest5552]

@SamIAm-yd8cs - agree

[@GoodSarsaparilla]

My 06 LX470 just keeps going too. Hard to justify buying anything new when the old Toyota/Lexus do all the same core functions.

[@bradbyers7505]

Amen to your observation about buying an “off road” vehicle with an over emphasis on luxury features at the expense of capability. Also, 22s probably wouldn’t be any off-roaders choice if there are rocks any larger than a tennis ball lying around. On the other hand, if you live in Indiana and encounter crappy blacktop roads, snow, gravel roads, etc. just to get to a mall, maybe there is a niche market.

[@chibbyylol]

Think off-roaders looking at the GX will buy the base premium / premium + and add their own stuff or go for the overtrail

[@johntamlyn6383]

That’s a great opening statement 🤣 I live in central London which is an excellent place to see numerous Range Rovers, Defenders and many other off road capable vehicles!

[@CatmanToxo]

Love your content sarah

[@bsmirnov]

Watching how you're testing a luxury SUV on your off-road course is a special pleasure. It's like watching a battle of engineers who engineered off-road techs against the marketing department who marketed in a bunch of luxury features into the car. Also, wishing you that some day you'll get a new 2025 G Wagon for off-road test. It seems Mercedes-Benz likes you, so there's hope.

[@SarahnTuned]

Man, I've asked for a G Wagon about 100 times already, lol. They don't want me reviewing anything too high society I guess.

[@bsmirnov]

@@SarahnTuned or too gangsta 😁

[@noo4pass]

​@bsmirnov yeah, all the rappers (who are all recently implicated) driving them has definitely changed my view of Mercedes owners.

[@tronanonymous9182]

​@@noo4pass well go touch some grass sniff a tree n possibly drink from ur local pond cause not all mercedes owners are rappers,pdf files,or rich kids. I'm a lower middle class who saved up bought a 2009 e500 amg wagon because it's easy to work on cheaper then a toyota on parts and will last forever and looks amazing that's a brain worm take u just made.

[@JamesMorgan-pt7ci]

Very thorough - not many reviewers cover things like wheel manufacturer! Great technical review, sweet rig.

[@totallybonkers]

That push button opaque sunroof glass feature is freaking awesome. Thanks Lexus! This is the first review I've seen that points this out, super cool.

[@EdwardKeefe]

God I love how you are always surprised by the breaking and the extreme joy you get when you discover something :)

[@fredericdeblois]

Lexus paints the driveshafts, at that price it's normal too 😄. Too bad you didn't get the off-road version, but your test drive already gives you an idea of its capabilities, which must be impressive.

[@peeweeacres]

Missed Sarah on Sunday.

[@fknbastages]

That's some hella stopping power. You almost did a Polish wheelie. I would die for one of these, even if only its mother could love it. ❤

[@neoanderson7]

Always an honest and truthful review. We all know these suckers will never see off pavement adventures. But you still put it thru the rally stage test! 🙂 Pricey grocery getter...

[@iainf6]

Sarah know her stuff 👍😉 a review that you can trust completely 👏👏👏👏👏🔥

[@bobuncle8704]

Top shelf review as always, Sarah. Heck of a sound system, and lots of cool options.

[@gglen2141]

The attention to easy repair and replacement of parts will earn Toyota a lot of friends.

[@DaddyBusAdventures]

I won't give up my GX470 for a long long time. Sure it is antiquated, but it has an engine I know will never leave me stranded. The recall on this new motor and it's longevity is still out for jury, but I doubt it will ever be as iconic as the 2uz-fe 4.7V8. Now if I only could get some of the trail cam gizmos that would be awesome ;-)

[@George-rk7ts]

A new car review and and hieroglyphics in one video! Only from Sarah!

[@mtacoustic1]

Out here in the real wild west, this SUV would be considered a perfect vehicle for 'drugstore' cowboys! Love your opening statement saying much the same!!

[@jmh2244]

I own one of these in the Luxury +. This is the best review by far. I’ve always wanted to get a view of the under carriage and this was great! Beats getting down on the ground and scooting around. It seems to be built very well.

[@baronofgreymatter14]

Hair looks marvelous

[@bridgecross]

Wow, a palatable grille on a Lexus! It's been years! I hope this look will be carried through all models.

[@SarahnTuned]

Agree, very storm trooper helmet looking.

[@kevintompkins3843]

OMG yes! The grilles on all Lexus models have been hideous for a long time. It looks like they are finally moving away from those tortured trapezoids or whatever they are.

[@JosephRybenski]

My 2015 armada was just as nice, and after watching this review that Sarah does an amazing job with, no thanks, thank you for all you do, Sarah. You are awesome, and thank you for your service.

[@tlaccord]

I’ve seen more then 10 gx550 reviews but you are my top 3 reviewer excellent detailed job can’t wait for my premium plus in February

[@2URLex]

Always learn something new when I watch your content. That Rays stamp find was totally unexpected.

[@timothycheuvront8284]

Hoping you get your hands on an Overtrail model to review! The shades are commonly called "peasant" blockers.

[@WhatAm1doinggg]

So nice to see design choices with serviceability in mind

[@warrencarmichael9092]

Hey Sarah! I’d love it if you would do a review on the newly redesigned 2025 Cadillac CT5, either the 4 cylinder or the 6 cylinder. It’s a great car with all new tech!

[@garyworokevich2524]

Nice vehicle for limo service. I've noticed a few at the airports I service.

[@efrayimlevenson3121]

"Mall crawler" - I love it!

[@nadirkhan7552]

10:40 - 11:15 Best ever advice 👌👍

[@ahent1975]

This is the test drive I was waiting for! Thank you.

[@PortableHamSandwich]

I believe that second rear facing camera that is behind the tail gate glass may be the camera it will use if you are towing. Or, it might be one of the cameras the system uses for the driver assists.

[@jessebettis501]

5th matching wheel same since Gen I GX. "Pavement Princess"! If your HUD adjusted correctly. Left column CAP A has a diagonal line until you tap it to set to AUTO. Rear mirror/rear camera like having a drop top. Shapeology cover hides 9v charger/fuzz buster plug. Your custom digital gauge cluster is set to your profile. If by chance after setting up your cluster you want to change yes pull over don't drive and customize.

[@colinkennedy8523]

great call out on the name.. many of us bought 460s when 460 < 470, and we had no problems doing it..

[@RYTHMICRIOT]

I came here to see if Sarah would mention spun bearings and she did not disappoint...

[@mostcom]

$18,540 in options, fearful of what the off road over trail addition addition would add to the total coast. Oh who the phuk am I kidding? It ain't happinin. So looking forward to the delivery of your line of scrubbing products.

[@SarahnTuned]

She's processing orders at this very moment, you guys kinda broke the system on that first day! Haha, she should have all the orders packaged up within a week by the looks of it.

[@mostcom]

@@SarahnTuned to much of a good thing

[@ElAmokoLoco]

The Lounge Jazz music in the video is effin' legendary!

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Sarah! Thanks for making it.

[@21wxz89]

Most entertaining car reviewer on you tube

[@tomhockman6267]

When you do measurements with your little digital measure, you round up or down to the main measurement number, but my OCD says you should state it more precisely like Mr. Spock. Like 21.76 millimeters, not 21 millimeters. Love all your reviews. You're fun to watch!

[@EJE240]

Props for picking up and sharing the wheels are made by Rays

[@DoebieBiggsArnieTait]

Yeah those roof racks as we call them in South Africa. Those on my Dad's Ford Territory 2006, I removed them as the rubber placings for balance starting wearing out and the noise is exhausting, will put them back if they are needed.😅

[@randledmadden]

Of all of the different nicknames you gave it, Pavement Princess was my favorite. Do the Cadillac Lyriq please!

[@johngrant1337]

good review thanks

[@journeywithstu7199]

20:23 V8 was ditched to meet fleet emissions goals. Not for gas mileage improvements.

[@mobiledevice2802]

I know someone who would go for such a setup, they want the body on frame for crash safety, Lexus for reliability, the big wheels for show, the boxy look for show and ease of use space. And never go off road.

[@Sam9wilson9]

Chose to go with a new 23 GX460 in June based on test drive of both this and new LC. I agree on your statement on the LC for sure. Rad boots btw 👍👍

[@robcarnaroli269]

Ha! The LCD glass was my Senior Project when I went to Widener. I wanted to make welding helmets with it but right after I graduated I saw one in a Eastwood catalog around 1999. Oh well. Great minds think alike.

[@timbrown9731]

I really like how Lexus builds cars and their attention to detail like for instance, the little plastic cover over the door latch, if you’ve ever seen a Toyota have this it’s basically a Lexus…….with higher parts….bins…..yep…. The other thing is that the panel gaps I always look at those. I’m such a nerd.

[@hartzland7658]

I love this lady! Never seen a review like this, well done, new sub here.

[@JosephRybenski]

Lol, you have the perfect sense of humor.

[@dalehenry4694]

Ball on your back😅😂

[@johnmbell4642]

Hey Sarah, ultimately I think the forerunner will win out unlike Tacoma it’s made in Japan and I think it’s absolutely doable to do a 6 speed swap. don’t get me wrong I really like the Land Cruiser but if both of them were sitting there. I would take the forerunner. Have a great one.🐧🐧🐧👍

[@JoeEngineer]

I fell in love with the new LC/GX twins, but I dont feel bad at all after buying a 2015 GX V8. It gets the same mpgs as this one and makes V8 noises. 😄

[@tphvictims5101]

Your favorite Aunt would be Very Proud of you.

[@tomdrummy4984]

“Luxury” and “off-road” don’t seem to go together…….but I guess it makes sense in 2024 ☺️. Cute boots 😁

[@jayXohXen]

Love you Sarah. There's ONE strand of hair that's a little off, but you look great as always. And that thang looks great when it's moving along off-road. It's cool with the off-road wheels and tires. Excellent review once again. Thanks and cheers!
