    460 to 550 experience

    I’m considering upgrading from a fairly built GX460 to a GX550 Overtrail - and would love to hear experiences from anyone who has done it.

    I had a period where I was traveling 100% (ever week) for work and knew I would not get to use it so I decided to sell it. Things like that tend to "rot" when not used, so sent it to a good home. I'll get another at some point.

    It's been a good long while since I posted anything here ... life gets busy, we've moved, blah blah. I have used it a few times for "solo" camping over last couple of years - mostly the night before a big hike. This weekend the family got out for a camping trip. I sold the off-road best of...

    Has anyone installed the aFe Power exhaust and cold air intake?

    I ran the AFE intake on my 2016 GX460 for about 6 months and then went back to the stock air intake system. Horrible drone at certain throttle/load conditions for no discernible change in performance.

    Idiot YouTubber Tows Giant Trailer with a GX

    I echo all the sentiments about the GX towing - it *will* do it, but not with any authority. It is heavy enough that it never feels twitchy, but somewhat underpowered for real towing. I pulled one of those "Aussie off road trailers" (weighing ~4200 loaded) from Dallas TX to SLC UT and back -...

    I built it to drive, but my history with vehicles suggests that I’ll get bored with it and want something different in 3 or 4 years so we’ll see. And yes, that motor is an absolute beast.

    And thanks for the compliment. It is further evidence of my disease. :rofl:

    For the sake of keeping this a GX forum... here's a link to the Mustang build. :steer: https://www.vintage-mustang.com/threads/1968-coupe-restomod.1180090/

    I’m not sure who/when updated it. I checked the file status as the tune instructions stated and it matched so I went on with the tune file install. YotaWerx sends an up to date stock file with the tune files so I assume would have been just as easy to flash that as it was to flash their tune file.

    It already had the latest stock file.

    Perspective, I suppose... since this is my other car, I feel like it is still pretty slow. :)

    For sure it is still not fast!

    It definitely changed as I drove it - I could feel the difference right away, but subtle. I'm on the 3rd tank since I put the tune in and it seems like it has stabilized now. The midrange power improvement is noticeable but not dramatic. The best part is the transmission behavior - it will...

    I think they got the tune right - no drivability issues at all and the engine / transmission seem more in sync.
