Looking for a morning boost? The 2025 Lexus GX550 Overtrail and Overtrail+ are here to deliver—literally—with an exciting 1-inch suspension lift, taking their off-road prowess to new heights. These models now offer more clearance and capability, building on the rugged overhaul introduced in the 2024 GX lineup.
The GX550: Where Luxury Meets Off-Road Capability
The GX lineup turned heads in 2024 with its bold, boxy design, a powerful twin-turbo V6 engine, and the introduction of the Overtrail trims, Lexus’s first-ever off-road-focused models. While the Overtrail and Overtrail+ impressed with features like all-terrain tires, Crawl Control, and the Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS) (which disconnects anti-roll bars for better flexibility), their ground clearance matched that of the other GX trims.

That changes for 2025.
More Ground Clearance for Off-Road Adventures
Thanks to the new 1-inch lift, the Overtrail and Overtrail+ now boast 9.84 inches of ground clearance, compared to the previous 8.66 inches. While the lift doesn’t alter key off-road specs like approach (26°), departure (22°), or breakover angles (24°) or the 27.56-inch wading depth, the added height gives you extra confidence when navigating rocky trails or uneven terrain. After all, a little more space between your undercarriage and the ground never hurts!
2025 GX Updates: Small Touches with Big Impact
The suspension lift isn’t the only upgrade Lexus packed into the 2025 GX550 lineup. Here are some other notable changes:
- Tech Enhancements: All GX models now come standard with a power-adjustable steering column with memory functions for the driver’s seat, mirrors, and steering position.
- Overtrail-Specific Additions: Both Overtrail trims are pre-wired for auxiliary switches and equipped with a standard air compressor—a perfect pairing for off-road enthusiasts.
