I was able to drive around Baltimore and even had a chance to drive to Howard Homecoming in Washington, DC. The GX550 Luxury Overtrail+ is an impeccable machine, but it&#8217;s more rugged. My sister-in-law used to have a GX550, and the current model has upgraded many features. It had 22-inch alloy wheels and an impeccable Mark Levinson premium audio system. I was able to listen to the music I made with the music department at Carnegie Mellon. Underneath the hood is a 3.4L V6 Turbo engine that produces 349 horsepower, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" data-src=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1024571-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7785 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1024571-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1024571-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1024571-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1024571-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1024571-2048x1153.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1024571-678x381.jpg 678w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1024571-600x338.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/577;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This vehicle is not for the weak; it is very rugged. It features a 14-inch touchscreen display and is also fuel-efficient, getting an EPA-rated 21 miles per gallon on the highway. I was fascinated by the style and the menacing look. It&#8217;s sort of like the old GX went on a workout plan and got on steroids\u2014it&#8217;s just really muscular, strong, and rides pretty tough. This is the Lexus you want to get if you want to go off-road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" data-src=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1025480-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7784 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1025480-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1025480-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1025480-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1025480-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1025480-2048x1153.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1025480-678x381.jpg 678w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241023_1025480-600x338.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/577;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The base price of the Lexus GX550 Luxury Overtrail+ is $79,900. The model I drove had a heads-up display, traffic jam assist, and a few other options that brought the delivered price to $84,590. I must say, this really impressed me during my drives around.
