Yay!! Picked up my GX550 Luxury!!

I was nervous as hell to buy this considering all the forums posts I’ve read. I have to say… I LOVE IT!! It is a gorgeous car and exactly what we wanted.

We were replacing a 19 yr old Tahoe that got us through all the kid years. We wanted something smaller than the Tahoe with a 3rd row and great in the snow and in the great outdoors.

We bought the luxury (not plus). Mainly because we wanted a moon roof that opened. Wish the pano roof was functional. Loaded with all add ons. Paid MSRP. $81,800 fully loaded.

Thoughts….

-First off my husband is tall (6’7”) and cars buying is not fun with his height. Options are limited. We were worried how he would fit. Happy to say this works great. Head fits- still has great visibility and not into the ceiling. Legs are great. Space behind him is tight, but this is always the case. Interior is comfortable and roomy. Had 3 guys over 6’- one in each row and they all fit well.

-Interior- I can see why there has been mixed reviews as it is not as luxurious a a traditional Lexus. But the leather is soft, the massaging chairs are awesome, captains chairs are comfortable and new tech is great!! They probably dialed it back a step too far but this is a 4wd and it seems to fit the rugged fit of the car.

-Love the boxy shape which gives great site lines and visibility. It is a HOT exterior!! 🔥

-Loaded with safety options!! Loving them so far.

-Drive is not a luxury smooth ride, but not rough either. Comfortable. LOTS of power and pick up- no worries there.

-Cargo space is great and flat with 3rd row down. We will only use the 3rd row sporadically- so mostly enough storage. If your planning to full time use your 3rd row- the space is small

-Yes the towing mount cover is ugly - lol

-Upgraded sound system… hmm not sure yet but didn’t wow us. Seems so so for the upgraded price.

-Overall impressions - LOVE IT!! Stylish, comfortable. Love that is a versatile rugged vehicle with a get you anywhere safely feel. Inviting interior, captains chair are already a hit. Love the drivers seating- so adjustable and comfortable. I’m super excited for daily use, and the outdoor adventures in our future.

Feel free to ask questions.
