E-KDSS lean? Ha! Can't believe they haven't worked that out yet - they only had 14 model years of the GX460 to figure it out.

I saw a white overtrail at my kid’s school this morning. It was leaning to the right. I hope the is not the norm.

Park the truck 180 degrees in the same spot. Are the measurements the same?

It looks like the drivers side sits higher than passenger side. Could you take the measurement with someone sitting in the driver's seat?

For those unfamiliar with this issue, it’s been haunting the GX for over 10 years. I “thought” the KDSS lean would disappear with the new 550, apparently not. I’ve owned 5 GX’s…3 had the issue, 2 without. Thanks goodness my 23 came delivered lean free. Lots of information on the 3rd Gen forum about this issue. Can’t believe they haven’t fixed this.

Holy crap the new ones lean too!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Incredible!

Good job Toyota ! Embrace your off road heritage !🏆


OP If it’s anything like KDSS Lean in the 460’s, don’t worry about it, it’s mostly optical illusion. Put a level on it. The trucks are like 1 degree off. That’s pretty good.

This is what happened to me. I thought my GX460 was leaning as well. I kept looking at it from the rear. Finally I just put a level across the bumper and its totally level. Its some sort of optical illusion.

I was lucky...had 4 GX's. Still have a 2016 (sold another '16), a '21 and a '23. All were/are level.

Only seen one 24 GX in the wild with a slight lean, but time will tell if it’s widespread
