2024 Lexus GX 550, 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV, 2025 Porsche 911: Backwards this week

We towed a 2024 Lexus GX 550, drove off-road in a 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV, and witnessed a 2025 Porsche 911. And we witnessed a 2025 Porsche 911.

We hooked a 5,000-pound multispecies boat to the rear end of a 2024 Lexus GX 550 to see how the new SUV tows. Spoiler alert: It's pretty good, but it takes a lot of work to hook up, and the tow mode doesn't disengage important safety systems that should be turned off while hooked up to the trailer.

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II debuted with an improved front mask featuring new bumpers and lighting elements; inside the SUV, the luxury automaker's most popular model, the dashboard features a Spirit of Ecstasy incorporates a miniature version of the hood ornament from the "Spirit of Ecstasy.

We took the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV off-roading in Moab and walked away with the impression that this overweight EV might rule as king of the off-road hills. Between the SUV's vast range and performance, no other factory vehicle comes close to the Hummer EV SUV.

The Bentley Batur Convertible became one of the most exclusive on the Continental GT platform; limited to 16 units, the Batur Convertible was one of the last send-offs for Bentley's venerable W-12 engine.

The 2025 Porsche 911 underwent hot lap testing at the Nürburgring with little camouflage. The iconic sports car featured revised front and rear bumpers and new aerodynamics for improved cooling. The lighting elements have also been modified.
