If you came to Temecula Valley Lexus looking for serious off-road capability without sacrificing Lexus refinement, the Overtrail and Overtrail+ are built for you. Both trims are exclusive to a 5-passenger, 2-row layout — Lexus removed the third row to maximize cargo space for camping, overlanding, and gear-heavy adventures around Lake Elsinore and beyond.
No — the 2026 GX is offered exclusively with the twin-turbo V6 gas engine across all six trims. If you want an electrified Lexus SUV, our lineup includes the RX Hybrid, NX Hybrid, TX 500h, RZ all-electric, and LX Hybrid. Browse our full hybrid and EV inventory.
The Premium+ adds heated second-row outboard seats, a heated steering wheel, hands-free power liftgate with kick sensor, a 360-degree camera system, power-folding third-row seat, and wireless phone charging — about $4,500 more than the Premium.
Lexus removed the third-row seat on Overtrail and Overtrail+ to maximize cargo space for overlanding, camping, and gear hauling. The trade-off is fewer seats for more usable rear volume.
Towing capacity varies by trim. The Overtrail tops the lineup at up to 9,096 lbs.* The Premium, Premium+, and Overtrail+ are rated up to 9,063 lbs. The Luxury and Luxury+ trims are rated lower due to their 22-inch wheels and additional equipment.
Yes — wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard on every 2026 GX trim, paired with the standard 14-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen.
