Hi All,
We just picked our vehicle up on Thursday. The dealer I had forgotten about called us that the vehicle arrived - I actually didn't believe them when they called us. After someone backed out, we were next in line. This certainly made it more convenient than having to fly to Florida, or anywhere else out of State, to purchase the spec we were looking for.
We traded in our 2018 Toyota Tundra for the GX. I am glad to be back in something a little smaller and more comfortable. The Tundra had a 2" lift via Fox Suspension but it still rode pretty unrefined - the GX is in a whole different category to us and has also been pretty decent on the highway (19-20mpg doing about 5mpg over the posted limit). The tundra got about 15 on a longer trips highway only.
We don't have a lot of plans for it besides some Canvasback rear cargo protection with the extended bumper flap as our dogs can scratch the rear bumper. I also purchased the ice box tray as well as the blackout badge overlay kit to complete the look.
Lastly, we will be purchasing an extended warranty and pre-paid maintenance that so many have shared on this site to help save some money compared to the dealership prices.
Potential future plans: Adding lighter wheels, like some Volks/Rays in 17" to shave off some weight + slightly larger C-rated tires (that combo should net a reduction in unsprung weight and improve the looks through a better offset. I don't want to mess with the suspension much as we've paid extra for the ekdss so that should keep it looking fairly OEM+.
