Hey Lexus homies! Haven’t been on here in a while… So I love the new GX and want one. After reading through the trim levels I’m disappointed in how it’s configured. I truly wish I could get a base premium cold weather pack, wireless charge pad and ML audio… everything else that is included in the package I don’t want/need. So I went in search of a base living without the audio. To find out there really aren’t any. All are premium plus with a HUD and a few other options, all racking up to 69-72k when a striped down one with a few things should be had for 65. So can you actually order one? Corp Lexus says so… but every dealer just says give a deposit and get on a list? I’m cool to deposit but for an actual order not a we’ll get something for you.

Deposit puts your name on the list, if they receive one that's similar to what you want you get dibs. We've put our deposit down for a few months and the sales guy has called us a couple times with what they have but since it's not an exact match we'll keep waiting.

Toyota and Lexus do not order cars. They have a weird distribution network that is very Japanese and doesn’t really make sense in how Americans establish business structures.

You can get on a list, offer deposits, etc. but it’s not at all like BMW or Porsche where you can order what you want and pick it up in stuttguert or Dresden or whatever once the order is fulfilled. Toyota is pretty much going to make what they want, ship it where they want, and then let the distributor / importer load it up with dock upgrades, then the dealers get them.


If they didn’t make such a solid product , the whole model would come crashing down imo.

I have a deposit for a 2025 GX 550 Overtrail+.
I want the color I want and 3 must have options and one option I will not accept.
I will accept additional option within reason dollar wise.
If they can come up with this vehicle they have a sale.
If not they don't have a sale.
