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.
