Just got back from 3 week trip to WY/YNP. Looks like ~3150 miles on the GX behind the RV. No real issues other than I got the steering wheel locked up once. Had key just inserted, not clicked to 1st click. Love how easy it is to hook/unhook. So much fiddling around with my wife’s flex when we...

Gotcha. I was afraid of that. No flat spots. Will have to figure out what to do about the hydro boost.

Manual locking of the doors is the way. “Grinding” doesn’t happen if engine is off when you shift it. Pushing about 150 miles on it now. Only issue was a brake lockup following a fast stop (someone slammed on their brakes in front of me) on my first tow. Gotta pump those brakes a lot more than...

I ran a battery charging line when I put in my brake buddy/light wiring. Easy. Only have about 150 miles on my GX470. I wouldn’t go to the trouble to get it all setup without running the charging line. Any chance it? single key in ignition one click to keep wheel unlocked. Use 2nd key to...

I didn't try manual locking. That makes sense. Will try tonight.

I get a little grind.

Ended up installing baseplate inverted. Didn’t even have to cut fascia to make it work, just a small cut to access umbilical connector and breakaway that I mounted on top of oem bumper. Height is perfect for my class C, no need for a drop hitch. Is there a way to lock the doors with key in the...

Whats the pre/post tow routine and rest stop idle length and duration? For example, currently towing a 2016 ford flex. Doing this based on ford manual: get car up to operating temp, idle in drive and reverse for 5 min to get everything lubed. stop every 6 hours to repeat warmup/idle procedure...

Where did you put it? i was wondering where the heck to stick it reading the manual. It seems like its easier to flip the bar and have everything right under the bumper.

Awesome ! I’d be curious to hear how it goes. I was looking at the install manual. Looks a bit easier than the ford flex install.

That looks great, what year is your GX? Blue ox baseplate for the 06? would love to be able to set mine up, I hate running into neat roads in our ford flex and having to turn around...
