We're pulling this (picked it up late last fall)... 3600# dry, probably around 4100# with all our stuff. Pulls pretty well, but I need to find a set of mirrors extenders that don't flap in the breeze going down the highway! It's difficult to see around the trailer - the GX seems big until you...

I like how clean looking these recovery points are... is there any notation from NYTOP as to whether or not these are rated to GVWR? I like that these are a pretty easy install but 'Looks beefy' and 'Are beefy' are two different things. The attachment points are very similar to the ARB recovery...

. ..Had this Thule Force 3 XL Monstrosity mounted to the factory crossbars with no clearance issues... and we put heavy stuff in it like a Clam shelter, any number of other heavy bags of stuff that we take with us...

Would you mind posting a picture of that if you have one? I have a newer Thule box with the contoured bottom, and it appears to me that it would be difficult to mount to a flat platform rack due to the box's mounting 'claws' not being able to grab onto rack cross bars. Thanks.

It’s refreshing to see wheels that are not black or some other dark color. 👍

Side note: getting the full-time transfer case with the center diff - it's obviously strong enough - in the Sequoia, and fixing that vehicle's silly 3rd row situation, would finally give the US a great Toyota alternative to the GM twins...

One thing to consider... you're much more likely to run into the "Sir, the tire size you want is not the stock size that comes on your vehicle from the factory sir, and we can't install those for you sir" razz-ma-tazz at Costco. Seems to depend on location, and who you get at the tire counter so...

The video mentions that during their test, that engine oil and transmission oil temperatures were OK and that there was no overheating... for those of you who now own a 250/550, or have poked around underneath the hood... is either vehicle equipped with an auxilairy external trans oil cooler, or...

$77K+ and there's a hood prop-rod instead of gas assist? I suppose that makes it simpler...

Dometic (and I believe ARB also) use a 2-Pin 12 Volt connection that is quite secure. Not sure if their 12 volt power cord is compatible with your fridge, but you could always cut and splice the business end to work with your setup...

I might even wonder if it's something related to alignment, which would also be a simple and inexpensive place to start. A good alignment with the right castor adjustment may can make a world of difference and provide a more 'planted' feeling on the highway. Nothing more annoying than a vehicle...

Thank you.

Greetings... I'm considering the purchase of a new or newer GX in the near future, and I'm coming from a 5th Gen 4Runner (2014). Lots of 5th Gen 4R owners report steering wheel shimmy at highway speeds with various brands and types of tires. Most - but not all - seem to find some level of...
