    2025+ Overtrail running 275/70/18 tires

    An actual measured mpg or just going off the vehicle readout? If using the vehicle, did you reprogram for the new size? The 275s have a 1.7% greater circumference so if going off the unadjusted vehicle calculations it will underestimate mileage by that amount. I never trust the on board...

    Discovering GX Features - that you didn’t know existed - Auto folding mirrors when locking the GX.

    Yeah, I watched that a few time before taking delivery. No surprises here.

    DIY Oil Change Observations

    It's hard to find a good dealership service center. Most are doing good just to find bodies that come to work most days. Labor is not what it used to be. Oddly enough I have a great experience with my local Ford dealer and my heavily modified Bronco. I do most of the work myself but still need...

    DIY Oil Change Observations

    I don’t put a lot of stock in the color of used oil. Twin turbos are hot and I’d imagine they make the oil look dark quicker than non turbos. I change the oil myself so I don’t have to worry about what the dealership may or may not have done.

    Better than being armed in a GX - having an ARMORED GX - 😅

    Looks nice, but I'd rather have something bigger or more inconspicuous if I truly need the protection. In some areas that's going to draw attention that it can't handle.

    Overtrail Replacement Tires

    The door sticker only applies to GVWR and OEM tires listed. It has no bearing on correct tire pressure when changing size or type of tires. Correct PSI is based on vehicle weight and tire size. I'd suggest consulting an actual table from a tire manufacturer when in doubt. While there is nothing...

    I always hold judgement until I see the cargo. Some ride HEAVY.

    Going to give it a try!

    Reminds me of a '69 F100 we had growing up. I don't mind old school steering that requires constant input, but my wife just wasn't going to do it.

    Going to give it a try!

    The Ineos was my first choice for an extra vehicle, but I wanted one my wife would occasionally drive as well. There was no way she was dealing with the steering on the Ineos, so that's how I ended up with GX.

    Suspension Wiggle Jiggle

    I've owned a suburban and tahoe. Yes, they were great at hauling kids and a pleasure to drive on the road but were a bit large for most of the off road trails I drive on and had little articulation. I bought the GX for the off road abilities and will gladly give up road manners to off road...

    At this point, are we better off to wait for a 2027 model?

    Better off than what would be the question. If you want one, stay on the list and get it when you can. If you don't really want one, wait and get on the 2027 list and then wait some more. Is there a feature you want not on a 26 but you think maybe on a 27? I got mine from Tulsa and they were...

    Gx550 lift for smoother road driving.

    20+ on offroad vehicles is like purple hair. You know up front if you want to engage or avoid. I'm all for owning what makes you happy, so if large wheels is it, go for it. I just have limited time and avoid the mall crawlers.

    Suspension Wiggle Jiggle

    The more articulation, the more the movement, however you want to describe it. In an offroad vehicle it's a feature.

    Gx550 lift for smoother road driving.

    I don't mind 20-22s on off road vehicles. Let's me know up front to go the other way.

    Best way to close the rear glass hatch

    Mine closes so easy with minimal effort. I can’t imagine slamming the glass closed. Just push with your thumb as it closes.
