GX 470 beside GX 550 OT+

[thefriar]

Hola - new to forum but was on FJ Cruiser forums (Voodoo Blue 2007 Manual bought new and kept for 125k miles with a bunch of mods), new to Lexus. Picked up at MSRP at Ray Catena in Larchmont NY.

Snapped this pic getting coffee today if folks are curious about the two side by side. Bit taller and IMHO a lot better looking and the hatch up vs swing is brilliant (that was always an FJ gripe but with the spare it made sense).

I’m more grown-Ed-up now and the GX 550 is the spiritual big brother to my ol’ Big Blue FJ.

Already contemplating bumper, intake, exhaust, and some rack options. Will use it as DD and on forest roads around New England for trail maintenance, off grid camping, and mountain biking.

Welcome!

And post more pictures of that Earth OT in the picture thread!

Welcome! We're neighbors, shoot me a PM (& definitely wave if you see me around!).

Welcome!

That picture thread is very specifically for arguing about what counts as a real Land Cruiser, not for pictures of GX550s or LC250s.

The Earth is great, it can look matte and flat from some angles and lighting scenes and its metallic flakes pop in others.

Thing is a barrel of fun. Going to pop the bike rack on today I think.

Looks like a 460, Not a 470…
Great looking 550 though

Are they recalling the 3.5 on the new GX as well or not yet?

No. And the recall only extend to vehicles (tundra) that were produced up to Feb 2023.

No. And the recall only extend to vehicles (tundra) that were produced up to Feb 2023.

For now. We'll see how this plays out, given there have been failures in Sequoias (also not in the original recall) and 2024 MY vehicles.
