How many times have you seen the question: "I just got my GX, what should I do for mods?" with no context to it? I gave up answering every person with the story of "Use it and determine what you need." Here's what I've done that has made the most difference to me.
1. Suspension. My 2022 had the lean which made it a chore to drive. Instead of fighting with the dealer I went with new Dobinsons UCA's, OME springs, and OME MT64 shocks. This fixed the lean and kept the smooth ride. Springs are medium weight as I don't carry much weight in the truck.
2. OTT tune. Lexus boasts the 301 HP V8 but it feels like the 4.0L V6. Power of a 4 cylinder and fuel economy of a V8. With the OTT medium tune, the truck is now exactly as it should be from the factory. I drive 60 miles one way to work on the highway and keeping 80 mph was a chore. Today I found myself doing 90 without noticing it.
3. Door speakers. Upgraded to kicker 6x9"s in the doors with tweeters. 100x better than the junk that was in there. My truck is non - ML but I don't think ML makes a huge difference. At least it didn't in my LX.
4. Next will be sound deadening to the rear of the vehicle. Front has double paned glass and sound deadening and all of the noise is coming from the rear. I hope to fix that this weekend. I've got dyna mat which is what I'm going to use.
I've got tons of other stuff done to the truck, but these are the most impactful to me. For what it's worth.
