This has been a question I've had about the GX, but don't have any hard facts about it yet, and am honestly pretty clueless when it comes to modern car audio. And everything is so integrated now it's hard to just gut things and start from scratch like in the old days. I'd honestly just hoped...

EXACTLY. Except the Corolla probably sounds better. I can guess at their logic, probably based on cheap home theater surround system design and assumptions about sound localization ability at various frequencies. To be generous, maybe concerns about nulls and peaks localized in the cabin at the...

The hopes of a flat set-up in the back was what made me go in with my checkbook and trying to keep an open mind on the 3-row. That's the thing I really missed from my old 4Runner moving to the 80-series, as the way the LC (and Prado) seats seem to want to fold nowadays makes it impossible for me...

Yeah the LX450 seats went in a closet within days and stayed there for 20+ years. Were extremely easy to remove and left no trace. But the mess in the back of the LX700h looked really integrated to me. All kinds of fairings and such - I guess everyone has seen pictures, but more intimidating in...

Sorry, I never owned the 100 or 200 because I didn't want to lose having all three lockers (in the US), so don't have a good comparison. I forgot to get a feel for how solid it felt from the outside (doors, hood, etc.), but from the test drive the LX700h handled the engine noise better than the...

I'll give them the CYA lawyer warnings, and OK with acknowledging them and moving on, but the issue with that specific one on the GX is that when acknowledged it just comes back after 10 seconds over and over. It's just a bug, but Lexus doesn't address it, and in general points out their general...

Yeah, thanks, luckily I'd read about that here before my first long off road trip, but it's still annoying to have to dive down menus just to put it into 4LO, or more importantly that they won't just let you acknowledge it then leave you alone, like all the other nags it throws at you. But, I...

No one single major issue, but just so many little annoying details that seem to point out they never bothered look at how someone would use it off-road (my only reason to own either the GX or LX). And out on a trip when one shows up right after the other it just really adds up and gets...

Random data point on deliveries: Late last night I got an E-mail that the dealer (SoCal area) had actually received the LX700h OT the night before. I haven't been tracking at all, so was a bit surprised. Much like with the GX, I'm not as in-tune as others, so my only evidence that this isn't...

Looks like there must have been a big push of info from Japan right around then, because I got notified about mine on December 24th. Can I ask what the interior configuration and color are on yours? Mine is black and 3 row, neither of which I want. I'm already worried enough about interior...

I'm sure there are a lot of people more knowledgeable than I am on the subject, but since nobody really chimed in I'll give my two cents, as somebody who has owned the original LX450 with factory lockers for decades, and has a deposit and allocation for the LX700h OT as a potential replacement...

Thank you so much for taking the time to follow up verifying with real information! I had just checked Carista's site and see they finally have the GX550 listed and say they could modify the ESE setting, but sometimes hard to tell what's just cut and paste. Also not a fan of the business model...

Thanks. Is it just the VSC or isn't there one more item to kill too on the GX? Maybe it depends on what else you already had enabled? Thought mine cycles through two things it's mad about. Luckily after so much reading of every single forum post I could find while anxiously waiting for mine, by...

I’ve tried to avoid voicing my disappointment and frustrations with my GX550 purchase on the forum, because I don’t want to ruin the experience for the many people who really are happy with their purchase. And also because the complaints mostly get dismissed as whining or sore loser 460 owners...

After getting the allocation I read through everything now available on the Lexus website, compared what specs they do have, but much like for the GX OT, it's a lot of frilly marketing filler, especially when it comes to off-roading. Info from this thread, people digging into the real tech...
