2024 Lexus GX 550 Overtrail and Platinum First Drive and Off-Road Test

The all-new 2024 Lexus GX was designed to inspire customers to pursue their urge to travel, take an unpaved path, immerse themselves in nature and revel in the joy of driving. As part of that journey, GX blazes the trail as the first vehicle to bring the global Lexus “Overtrail Project” to life.
The 2024 Lexus GX is more rugged with a body-on-frame underpinnings, more technology, safety and comfort than ever before. check out the first-ever Overtrail grade with standard 33-inch All-Terrain tires and 18-inch wheels. Powered by a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 produces 349 horsepower and 479 lb.-ft. of torque.
I was impressed with the new Lexus Interface with 14-inch multimedia touchscreen, impressive off road deep mud driving, and plenty of comfort and style.

Will you be doing a review of the 2024 Buick Envista anytime soon Lauren?
I'm hearing good things about it and would love to hear your opinion of it.

[@krayzyr1]

11.9 mpg?

[@bluethundar]

Platinum?

[@cablebrain9691]

The only non-complimentary comment was in reference to the vehicle’s turning-radius. Don’t expect a critical review here folks. It’s informative, but sounds more like an “infomercial.”
By the way, I noticed that the “beep-beep-beep” (10:47) was not commented upon. What’s up with that? Was that an annoying eye-tracking alert? Or was it some other “nanny” feature?
This “review?” was more like reading a brochure produced by Lexus.
