    Gx460 as a tow vehicle

    Thanks everybody for your thoughts and comments, they were extremly helpful. To sum up what I went with: 1. I have ordered a Redarc break controller and will install it next week 2. I've ordered sway control weight distribution hitch to help against potential high winds 3. I've played with empty...

    Gx460 as a tow vehicle

    I agree. It seems like Redarc Liberty would fit my needs and it costs around $135 new, so it is not too bad so if there is a consensus it is really well made, I totally agree that I would rather pay a little extra for a great product.

    Gx460 as a tow vehicle

    @Tex68w I've looked into my trailer brakes and they seem to be electric on both axels powered by 12V and having breakaway kit. Am I correct to assume that as long as brakes are electric they will be compatible? Or are there different kinds of electric brakes and some will be compatible while...

    Gx460 as a tow vehicle

    Not really, I think I will tow it just once, at worst perhaps another time if for some reason we will have to move out of TN. Yours and Richard's comments above make me feel good about not needing tranny cooler right now. Re. brake controller—unfortunately, I have no idea whether my brakes can...

    Gx460 as a tow vehicle

    Thanks a lot for your thoughts. I absolutely was planning not to go over speed limit and perhaps even a little under it. Even when I was driving with an empty trailer I felt more comfortable at 60mph than at 65. We will probably drive through entire route within 6 days/5 nights, so we will not...

    Gx460 as a tow vehicle

    Hi folks, this thread is super helpful. I'm planning to tow a cargo trailer for our out of state move with my GX460 and a lot of input here is spot on. I think my total weight of trailer will be around 5k lbs, which it seems like most people are saying around upper limit of what they would tow...

    Anyone in SoCal have a gx 460 tow hitch they don’t want?

    Thanks a lot for sharing! I've managed to find one in Sacramento and agreed with the guy that he will hold it for me during this week (we were planning to go there anyway so it is a lucky coincidence). So hopefully I'll get it there. Thanks again!

    @bangbang001 this is awesome, I wasn't part of that group but I've just applied. I will try to reach out to the seller, perhaps they will be willing to ship it.

    Anyone in SoCal have a gx 460 tow hitch they don’t want?

    Yeah, that is the painful truth I'm learning after buying a 2017 GX just recently. I could have never imagined that a welded piece of metal would be in shortage for almost a year now :(

    I'm also interested in the hitch for GX460 2017. If anybody is willing to sell one—I'm happy to discuss price. I'm located in San Leandro, CA.
