2024 Lexus GX 550 Road Trip Review: 1,000 Miles of Comfort and Annoying Driver Tech
The rest of it Fuel economy was disappointing considering the amount of time spent on the highway. On this trip, we achieved the best average to date: 19.7 mpg. Remember, the GX is rated at 17 mpg combined (15 city/21 highway). The turning radius was amazing. I could flip a U-turn on most residential streets in my area. This must help a lot with maneuvering off-road, but I kept on pavement this time. That said, our team will be sure to bring the Overtail off-road over the course of our yearlong test. The pop-out cargo area window was a feature I didn't realize I needed until I had it. Three one-gallon jugs of water got pinned against the cargo hatch door when I wasn't looking. Had I not opened the window first for a peek, it could've been trouble when I opened the hatch door. I should add that at 6 feet tall, the window is a perfect height for me. I could see it being less useful for shorter humans. Finally, two oddities. First, I was in a drive-thru and the front proximity sensor chimed an alert, then stopped, then repeated five or six times. The distance shouldn't have triggered the sensor to begin with, and considering that the car was stationary during the freakout left me scratching my head. Second, there was a water drainage quirk. The GX roof drainage rail lines up in such a way that, when I opened the rear door and reached inside, a stream of cold morning dew dripped down the back of my neck. When I wasn't blocking its path, the water flowed right onto the carpet. That shouldn't happen.

Mystery as Utah girl, 16, is ran over and killed by semi-truck on busy highway
A 16-year-old girl tragically died after she was run over by a semi-truck on a busy highway in Utah. Jessica Santiago, of St. George, was walking along Interstate 15 early Friday all by herself when she was mowed down by the large truck around 6.30am, police said. At the time of the horrible incident, no other vehicle was found nearby, suggesting that Jessica was on foot, Lt. Cameron Roden with the Utah Highway Patrol told St. George News. The unidentified truck driver was not injured in the crash, Roden added. It remains unclear why the teenager ended up on the freeway and why she was walking in the southbound lanes, but according to her brother, she 'stepped out of the home' the night before while her family slept. When they woke in the morning, Jessica was nowhere to be found so her concerned loved ones reported her missing to the police before hearing of the crash, her brother, Omar Santiago, told the outlet. Omar said he and the rest of the family do not know why his younger sister would have left the house, especially after everyone was asleep for the night. 'All we know is that, when we woke up, she wasn't home. We don't know how she got on that side of the freeway or what happened exactly. 'We just have as many questions as the investigators do. We're unsure how everything unraveled.' Omar said his late sister 'was not suicidal' and did not 'leave a note or anything' behind. 'She was a light in our home who will be dearly missed,' he said, adding that Jessica was 'a hard worker who cared about all of those around her.' A family member also created a GoFundMe page to help support her grieving family during this time. 'Jessica was a bright, kind, and beautiful soul who brought joy and light to everyone who knew her,' the organizer wrote. 'Whether it was her infectious laughter, her gentle spirit, or her passion for music, art, and most of all, helping others. Jessica left a lasting impact on all our lives.' 'She was a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a beacon of hope. Her time with us, though far too short, was filled with love, compassion, and unforgettable memories.' As of Wednesday afternoon, more than $4,500 was raised. A public funeral mass is set to be held Saturday at St. George Catholic Church before Jessica's remains are sent to a final resting place in Mexico. Another service will be held for her on June 16, according to the donation page. contacted the Utah Highway Patrol for more information on the investigation. Soon after the crash, the road was shut down for a bit before authorities let vehicles back on. While they slowly re-opened the highway, a second crash took place involving three vehicles, per the outlet. Those involved suffered several minor injuries. One person had to be transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation, according to authorities.
