Testing out the GX 550 Premium's gear-hauling potential with a roof-mounted kayak, a hitch-mounted bike and loads of stuff in the cargo area.
BEND, Oregon ? ?I hope it?s worth the noise!? I kept hearing Richard Lewis announcing that, with grand horns blaring inches from his head, in that cinematic classic, ?Robin Hood: Men in Tights.? For more than 13 hours, I drove the 2024 Lexus GX 550 Premium+ along California and Oregon highways at a steady 70 mph. Any faster, and the wind noise would elevate from a steady roar to booming.
By contrast, the Land Rover Defender and specifically its jumbo, door-mounted tire made using my bike rack difficult . I could even pop the glass with the kayak in place. Barely, but it was still more do-able than attempting to open the whole hatch with the strap in place.� Now, above you'll also see that I discovered the bike rack can double as a river float tube rack. Sweet. Sure beats inflating it at the river , trying to tie it to the roof rack or trying to stuff inside.
