Southeast GX Broverlanding and BS

What is this nonsense you speak of? 35’s Long travel minimum.

 

It already needs tires, so that is an expense that would have been incurred anyway.

I do have some RPT1’s and X3’s in the shed

 

35's on a 460 look wack...

 

I will pretend like you didn’t say that.

 

Its just such a big vehicle. I get the appeal, but damn there huge. Throw on 35's and the thing deserves its on zip code.

Ive seen some Starbucks parking lots that are pretty tight.

 

Need those 35’s to hop the curbs!

 

it’s a slug compared to the 470 as well. It’s super slow…. like a big yacht compared to a speed boat.

 

35's > ALL the trimming > 4:56 regear

 

I thought the 460 guys were made of money. Now us 470 owners... 34’s is the perfect size

 

Came out of Gymnastics with my daughter and found this..

 

River days

 

Got stuck today in some muddy clay crap. Had to get pulled out by another GX haha. Good times.

 

Funny you say that. I got a '21 GX as a rental from the dealer a few weeks ago and I was shocked how under-powered it felt compared to my 470.

I planned to replace my wife's X5 with a new 460 this year. 460 owners, is there a tune for the transmission that gives it more pep or what? The motor makes more power on paper. Doesn't translate.

 

Idk of any tunes available, but on paper the 470 has a better power to weight ratio. Not by much however, and your probably right. It all comes down to the trans tuning.

Having said that ive never driven a 460.

 

Yeah, I figured maybe they had something like the Tacoma does to address the lack-luster auto transmission in the 3rd gen. I drove the 460 around quite a bit and I loved it otherwise.

gx460 and 470 t00ns are coming “soon™”

 

my only complaint besides the lack of power is the driver seat. Maybe it’s my body type but the lumbar, no matter if fully deflated, sticks in my lower back and feels like a 2x4 back there. After driving for about an hour it really starts to become uncomfortable.

 

the trans on the 460 is just as good as the 470. Very smooth. The engine does have more power but it’s pushing a land yacht. The 6spd is nice though for highway cruising. Ours will get 21mpg all day long on long trips. I got 24mpg last time we took it to the beach.

 

Im curious to see what kind of mileage/rpm's ill be turning on a longer drive. Got a few more maint. Items to knock out before then though.

 

I miss those days lol I'm around 13.5 on the highway.
