When it comes to off-road SUVs, the 2024 Lexus GX550 Overtrail is not your average ride. From its versatile flip-up rear glass to its array of drive modes and a hidden chilled centre-console bin, this off-road marvel is packed with surprises. The GX550 Overtrail has standout features that make it a compelling choice for adventurous drivers.

One standout feature of the GX550 Overtrail is its flip-up rear glass. While many SUVs have abandoned this handy feature, Lexus has kept it alive in the GX550 Overtrail. With just a press of a discreet button on the lower left edge of the back panel, the flip-up rear glass opens, allowing easy access to the cargo area. This feature not only makes it convenient to grab items from the back but also adds a touch of nostalgia for those who remember the best SUVs of the ’90s.

Also, the GX550 Overtrail takes customization to the next level with its 11 different drive modes. In addition to the regular drive modes like Custom, Sport+, Sport, Normal, Comfort, and Eco, the off-road SUV offers Multi-Terrain Select system modes for Deep Snow, Mud, Sand, Dirt, and Auto. Accessing these modes is easy, thanks to the column of buttons on the centre console near the driver’s right knee. The digital gauge cluster displays the available modes, which can be selected using the rotary knob labelled “Mode Select.” The GX550 Overtrail also features Crawl Control, a low-speed cruise control for conquering tough terrain, accessible only in low-range four-wheel drive.

One of the coolest features of the GX550 Overtrail is its hidden cool box. Located beneath the centre armrest, this refrigerated compartment can hold up to four 12-ounce bottles of water or other beverages. To activate the cool box, simply press the Cool Box button nearest the driver. While the cooling feature can be turned on or off, there’s unfortunately no heat setting, which would have been aptly named the “Hot Box.”

The 2024 Lexus GX550 Overtrail impresses with its innovative features and rugged capabilities. Whether you’re hitting the trails or just cruising around town, this SUV is sure to turn heads and provide a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.
