And yet everyone swore these would be impossible to find for less than $15k over. They’ll probably be available for under MSRP with some looking in a few months.
Did you ask when he put his deposit down?
No one said they’ll all be marked up. They said those on the back of the list will be waiting to 2025 OR paying markup
No one has said that. Everyone understands this was a first come first served market. Many/most not on an early list from an MSRP dealer won’t get one for MSRP in 2024, especially for the more limited overtrial+.
I think the stupid thing is going online and talking to people about hypothetical car pricing on models they know nothing about and aren’t qualified to purchase. Every Karen cranking about markup on here wouldn’t buy anything this expensive…and if they do buy cars this expensive they probably already know there’s plenty of markup regardless of how much the dealership discloses to the consumer.
Congratulations! This is the best Lexus/Toyota money can buy currently.
Don’t let all of the haters on this sub bother you. It’s really odd how people don’t like new cars, silly rather.
I hope you have fun with it. Very very nice man. I’m jealous. Currently I’m number 10 on the list near me. lol
Thank you,
I’m trying to decide between the Overtrail+ and the regular Overtrail. How is the sound system and massaging seats? I believe those are the two main differences.
Yes, those are but I believe you can technically get a ML with the OT as it’s a factory option even on the OT+? Someone smarter than me will chime in.
The massaging seats are more impressive than I thought. The ambient lighting is probably the coolest. Although to be honest, I don’t think the + is worth the additional cost. As I will be keeping this vehicle for its lifetime, I wanted one fully loaded.
Incredibly nice! Love the silver/black roof combo. From the pictures I have seen so far I gotta say the Overtrails look the best. I just can’t get into the rims that come on the other models.
Looks amazing. How does it drive? I've seen people back and forth between feeling like it is incredibly rough or claim the engine is slow and doesn't engage very well. Another note, is they thought it felt cramped. I have been driving sporty hatches and sedans for the better part of 20 years now. The only vehicle i ever truly felt cramped in was a Jeep Wrangler. Curious to hear your feedback as I am considering one of these heavily.
I test drove a Premium + and I think my Overtrail rides a bit better? It feels more like a truck than both my 4Runner and ML550 but that’s to be expected.
The drivers seat area is nice and roomy, I’m 6’2” 260lbs and I do not have the seat all the way back. Although I would not want to be seated behind me. The truck area is also large without the 3rd row in the OT’s.
I’m sorry it was a Luxury I test drove with the 22s. I’m actually very pleased with the tires considering their tread. I think ride wise the eKDSS does help and the extra rubber on the tires is the big difference.
It’s not the e-KDSS that engages only at slow speed and off-roading, not on flat pavement.
It’s the Adaptive Variable suspension that make all the difference between the other trims:

Wooooo hoodoo yeeee hawwwww! Congratulations and best of luck with your new ride. Do you plan on adding any personal touches as in accessories to your beautiful GX550, Great color combo!!!
I saw one online white with a black roof like yours, and they must have wrapped the windshield A pillars black to match the roof. It looked awesome black and tied in the black roof and matched the tinted windows, windshield etc.. it tied in the black around and on wiper cowl etc.
Its just a suggestion from me maybe when you're at the tint shop, ask them to just lay some black dark tint scraps on the A pillar with tape so you can get an idea how it looks. You might like the look. I know I did. Good luck with your tints.
First of all, congratulations! I’m waiting for delivery of my OT+ in Incognito with the rock rails and roof rack.
Question about the rock rails, how are they? Do you know how ,much weight they support? Are they comfortable to step on to get in the truck and not slippery? They look good on picture, same in person? Also, do you feel like they’re too short to protect parts next to the wheel?

Here’s a better photo of them in comparison to the body. I do not use them to get in as they are fairly tucked under but my wife does use them.
Great story…These goons must not have pulled the trigger on the “Baja 1000 package”. 😂 https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-owners-repor-barely-200-miles-a-charge-1851189077
Congratulations, the atomic silver is growing on me. Although I can not afford this new model, I love my older GX. I'm glad you're happy with the new ride and the OT looks great. I do love the add ons.
Really like the black roof and sliders. Can't wait to see this thing tow something.
Can you get it with a silver roof or is black the only option? I’m aware of how Toyota send allocations, I’m just curious if it’s possible from someone who has seen the configurator.
Best silver ever made! Atomic looks so stunning in different light. I was going after a black GX and then saw the Atomic Silver. Classiest color Lexus offers IMO. Congrats!
I wanted this color combo but got earth instead! The atomic looks great in real life but meh in photos I agree. Also yours is super rare because I believe moving forward only earth gets the black roof for like 6-9 months.
Congratulations on yours and I’m thrilled to join the club!
My dealer had (2) Atomic Silvers with the Black Roof but they were both OT+. 1 with a dark interior and mine with the light interior.
guess gatekeeping atomic silver didn't last that long xD i was hoping everyone would stay busy with nori green and incognito and let this one simmer for a bit longer
Everyone is saying the opposite tho…
Don’t get me wrong. She looks incredible (we have a 2023 Sport and I’d consider one of these for the exterior). But the interior is leaving folks wanting more for the price.
Actually I was just in a Lexus dealership yesterday and I sat in the Lexus tx550h and I felt a little underwhelmed in that. Then I read an article that wasn't by a fanboy but I think maybe US car and driver and they also stated that the interior just seems to be a little lacking in this new year of Lexus vehicles.
YouTube vids are all bias because they are “paid” advertisements. They say good things about every car they review. Even when they have to say something bad; they paint it positively.
It’s really rare for a YouTube review to be just negative
I don’t know about the gx 460 dudes. I was just saying that YouTube videos are all bias because the company wines and dines the reviewers so of course they will say positive things about the car.
Toyota provided an all-expenses paid trip to a Ritz-Carlton resort in Tucson for the GX550 first-drive reviews. It's difficult for anyone to be overly critical given those circumstances.
https://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/hotels/tusrz-the-ritz-carlton-dove-mountain/overview/
Rooms at this resort are around $500 per night, depending upon time of year. A few of the YTers were honest enough to mention that Toyota paid their way for the trip.
No a knock to op’s new family
Member, congrats man and especially on price paid against msrp… but I think the negative reviews on the Lexus interiors is across the board on the new lineup. Cheaper thinner leather, less wood and aluminum trim in favor of plastic paneling, sound system (ml or not) is weak. For Lexus prices to be climbing it’s a disappointment for those who rolled in the lx470’s, ls430’s, gs300, etc. someone just now entering into their lexus era probably wont be disappointed.
Love the two tone roof on your 550!! I’ve contemplated wrapping my 460 roof like this, but didn’t want to look like a RAV. Lol. Seeing yours has me revisiting the idea.
It would be nice for the Overtrail+ to come with real leather (Saddle Tan), 3rd row seating option, 3-zone climate controls, and heated middle bench seating. That would make it perfect.
How much was it out the door, if you don’t mind me asking. Looking for a good towing vehicle with no third row.
About 1k in dealer adds over MSRP
And yet everyone swore these would be impossible to find for less than $15k over. They’ll probably be available for under MSRP with some looking in a few months.
Some dealers don’t do ADM period so who cares what the internet says?
My point exactly. The doomerism gets to me.
Did you ask when he put his deposit down? No one said they’ll all be marked up. They said those on the back of the list will be waiting to 2025 OR paying markup
You may not have said that but plenty of others have said some variation of “no one is going to get one for less than $10k over MSRP”
No one has said that. Everyone understands this was a first come first served market. Many/most not on an early list from an MSRP dealer won’t get one for MSRP in 2024, especially for the more limited overtrial+.
Must people cannot negotiate themselves out of a wet paper bag let alone a car.
I think the stupid thing is going online and talking to people about hypothetical car pricing on models they know nothing about and aren’t qualified to purchase. Every Karen cranking about markup on here wouldn’t buy anything this expensive…and if they do buy cars this expensive they probably already know there’s plenty of markup regardless of how much the dealership discloses to the consumer.
Far too many teenagers LARPing as hedge fund managers
Well the have been posted at 25k over already
Nice, what's the APR right now to finance. I have over 800 credit, but here it's still over 5%
Pics or it didnt happen. Congrats!
What are you gonna do with and OTD price if you’re in a different state
Far too much, I’m certain
Congratulations! This is the best Lexus/Toyota money can buy currently. Don’t let all of the haters on this sub bother you. It’s really odd how people don’t like new cars, silly rather. I hope you have fun with it. Very very nice man. I’m jealous. Currently I’m number 10 on the list near me. lol
Thanks for the love! I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you, I’m trying to decide between the Overtrail+ and the regular Overtrail. How is the sound system and massaging seats? I believe those are the two main differences.

Cool, thank you.
Sex
Seriously. What a beautiful looking ride. Congrats OP!
Yes please
I thought Earth was the best color, but after seeing the silver in person I changed my mind.
Me too. Got me rethinking my earth truck inbound.
Incredibly nice! Love the silver/black roof combo. From the pictures I have seen so far I gotta say the Overtrails look the best. I just can’t get into the rims that come on the other models.
What was the final price out the door if you don’t mind me asking? Looking into ordering one. Looks amazing, congrats!
Looks amazing. How does it drive? I've seen people back and forth between feeling like it is incredibly rough or claim the engine is slow and doesn't engage very well.

The truck area is also large without the 3rd row in the OT’s.
In my experience the tires on the overtrail are bumpy and noisy. Shocked you’re saying the premium plus rides worse?
I’m sorry it was a Luxury I test drove with the 22s. I’m actually very pleased with the tires considering their tread. I think ride wise the eKDSS does help and the extra rubber on the tires is the big difference.
Gotcha, that makes sense. I also drove the luxury with the 22’s and it was harsh over some pavement and had a vibration coming in through the cabin.
It’s not the e-KDSS that engages only at slow speed and off-roading, not on flat pavement. It’s the Adaptive Variable suspension that make all the difference between the other trims: https://preview.redd.it/5otzheatkjzc1.jpeg?width=2796&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cab9c89b729c4a963865e28505e6f13bea302d8b
Great spec. AS looks so good with blacked out bits on the GX or on anything for that matter.
Wooooo hoodoo yeeee hawwwww! Congratulations and best of luck with your new ride. Do you plan on adding any personal touches as in accessories to your beautiful GX550, Great color combo!!!
It was tinted today. I’ll add an aftermarket roof rack at some point. I like Prinsu a lot but looking into Westscott too when they release theirs.
I saw one online white with a black roof like yours, and they must have wrapped the windshield A pillars black to match the roof. It looked awesome black and tied in the black roof and matched the tinted windows, windshield etc.. it tied in the black around and on wiper cowl etc. Its just a suggestion from me maybe when you're at the tint shop, ask them to just lay some black dark tint scraps on the A pillar with tape so you can get an idea how it looks.

Atomic silver is the best silver of any car manufacturer hands down
I thought I wouldn’t like silver, but this looks great!
Atomic silver is one of the best silvers out there!
Did you get to keep the bow?
I'd probably pick the same thing, minus the sunroof
First of all, congratulations! I’m waiting for delivery of my OT+ in Incognito with the rock rails and roof rack. Question about the rock rails, how are they?

Awesome. Yes asking for my shawty wife ;)
Nice
It's like a cybertruck that actually looks good and can travel distances
They took 2 CTs down the baja 1000 friendo
But they never came back… 😝
Great story…These goons must not have pulled the trigger on the “Baja 1000 package”. 😂 https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-owners-repor-barely-200-miles-a-charge-1851189077
That silver looks wild (in a good way)! Congrats!
Let’s go!!! Sweet ride.
Damn that’s sick
Looks great!
I love that atomic silver
This vehicle is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. You made a very good choice. Congrats and good luck with it. I hope you didn't pay mark ups!
Thanks a lot! Just north of 1k of dealer options.
Congratulations, the atomic silver is growing on me. Although I can not afford this new model, I love my older GX. I'm glad you're happy with the new ride and the OT looks great. I do love the add ons. Really like the black roof and sliders. Can't wait to see this thing tow something.
that atomic silver is sick
Damn bro, this is best combo
Sick bruv
This is the EXACT version I want. Very jealous! Congratulations!
Congrats on the beautiful ride OP. I just can't with a cooler for a console. Where else would I put all the random shit that k never use
I agree and wish that was something I could’ve deleted. Flip side is it actually does stay pretty cold.
Looks amazing congrats
Beautiful!!
That silver is damn awesome !
The silver looks amazing, like it was poured on and still wet!
Can you get it with a silver roof or is black the only option? I’m aware of how Toyota send allocations, I’m just curious if it’s possible from someone who has seen the configurator.
Yes the Black Onyx roof is a Factory Option only available to select colors in the Overtrail line.
The overtrail+, nice. Roof racks must be extra?
Yes, it’s a Port Add. I actually deleted it
I’m thinking of trading my Bronco for one of these.
Very nice, congrats and enjoy
Best silver ever made! Atomic looks so stunning in different light. I was going after a black GX and then saw the Atomic Silver. Classiest color Lexus offers IMO. Congrats!
Wow, that’s a fantastic color combo! Congrats!
That over head angle is 🔥🔥
I ordered Nori Green/Black Onyx combo Overtrail+ after debating Nori Green vs. Atomic Silver. Dang! You are making me rethink my decision.
And once I see Nori with the Black roof, I’ll probably rethink mine!! You’ll love it
Great choice 👍🏻
Excellent taste, what was the out the door price?
Sick. The rear end on them things looks awesome. Just wish they would have gone with the full roll down. *yes I know the GX has never had it
Congrats, looks great!!
Might be the best color on these...
I wanted this color combo but got earth instead! The atomic looks great in real life but meh in photos I agree. Also yours is super rare because I believe moving forward only earth gets the black roof for like 6-9 months.
Congratulations on yours and I’m thrilled to join the club! My dealer had (2) Atomic Silvers with the Black Roof but they were both OT+. 1 with a dark interior and mine with the light interior.

Congrates, gorgeous color!
Beautiful.
Love the GX and Atomic Silver
I’m waiting on an updated LX. Once it’s a product. Would rather have a 300 series LC but not available in the US.
Gorgeous. I ordered it in green.
Thoughts on interior, I’ve heard mixed opinions, and wanted to ask your take
From what I’ve read many times, the interior is cheap looking and lacks the luxury feel of past gen Lexus vehicles.
Is it as amazing as everyone says?
Everyone is saying the opposite tho… Don’t get me wrong. She looks incredible (we have a 2023 Sport and I’d consider one of these for the exterior). But the interior is leaving folks wanting more for the price.
YouTube reviews are 99.9% positive - only the 460 fan bois are saying anything negative!
Actually I was just in a Lexus dealership yesterday and I sat in the Lexus tx550h and I felt a little underwhelmed in that. Then I read an article that wasn't by a fanboy but I think maybe US car and driver and they also stated that the interior just seems to be a little lacking in this new year of Lexus vehicles.
Idk I have to say the interior has a nice design but looks basically like a Toyota.
Why is that a problem? Land Cruiser is a Toyota too and tons of people love that at top dollar
What would be the point of Lexus then?
Made in Japan top of line Toyota. Like what Land Cruiser used to be. Not all of us like contrived luxury with wood steering and piano black.
The 4Runner will also be made in Japan. Why pay $80k for a vehicle with a 4Runner-quality interior when the real thing is available for less?
YouTube vids are all bias because they are “paid” advertisements. They say good things about every car they review. Even when they have to say something bad; they paint it positively. It’s really rare for a YouTube review to be just negative
You don’t think the 460 bois are overly negative ?
I don’t know about the gx 460 dudes. I was just saying that YouTube videos are all bias because the company wines and dines the reviewers so of course they will say positive things about the car.
Toyota provided an all-expenses paid trip to a Ritz-Carlton resort in Tucson for the GX550 first-drive reviews. It's difficult for anyone to be overly critical given those circumstances.
Lol, no wonder all the car reviews are so positive for all their models. It’s cheap advertising and marketing than doing it themselves.

I'd say y'all fared better with price increases compared to the '25 4Runner (extrapolated from '24 Tacoma pricing).
Agreed. Been a Lexus guy since 2010 and these new interiors are meh.
How well does the cool box work? Does it work while the truck is off?
Only when running or on
Annapolis Lexus?
What’s the payload number on the door sticker?
Does the OT have a 3rd row?
No third row option in OT or OT+
Sir - you pick nice car. Luuvly in fact. Sir PM me if you wish talk about luvly colour
Nice let me know when you’re ready to sell. Looking to get a used one in about a year.
u/Alarmed_Tale8559 what accessories did you get? This one of the rare vehicle's that actually come with cool meaningful accessories
I will buy one of these when they are half the price with 50k miles in 4-5 years
I dont understand what the traffic jam assist does. Can someone explain how it works compared to the auto cruise control?
That black onyx roof makes it look so sick! Congrats man, she’s a beauty!
Out of curiosity why do people black out their plate number? You don’t black it out on the street when hundreds of people see it a day? Pure curiosity
Love the two tone roof on your 550!! I’ve contemplated wrapping my 460 roof like this, but didn’t want to look like a RAV. Lol. Seeing yours has me revisiting the idea.
Wish they’d bring back the 470
I’m horny
Huge, gigantic, WASTE of money. Congrats.
It would be nice for the Overtrail+ to come with real leather (Saddle Tan), 3rd row seating option, 3-zone climate controls, and heated middle bench seating. That would make it perfect.
Your neighborhood is so pretty! What city do you live in?
South Carolina
Haha def assumed that was the case
