In this episode, TheStraightPipes take on the 2024 Lexus GX 550 Overt Trail Plus, a rugged off-roader with a powerful twin-turbo 3.4L V6 engine churning out 349hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. Not your typical hybrid, this beast boasts a driver attention monitor and a striking sand-colored exterior with a black roof and a sleek gloss black cowl. The team is impressed by the updated grille design and the vehicle's robust body lines, though they suggest swapping the wheels for a more aggressive look.

Inside, the Lexus GX 550 offers a spacious and comfortable cabin, with a flat windshield providing excellent visibility. The team delves into the off-road capabilities of the Overt Trail Plus model, highlighting features like locking differentials and an electronic suspension system. Despite lacking a third row, the vehicle provides ample trunk space and practical amenities like AC power outlets, catering to adventurous souls seeking versatility.

On the road, the team puts the Lexus through its paces, testing its performance, handling, and various drive modes. They find the ride comfortable and the steering responsive, praising the vehicle's maneuverability and off-road prowess. With a body-on-frame construction allowing for impressive towing capacity, the Lexus GX 550 proves to be a capable and versatile companion for both daily driving and off-road adventures.
