Stock ride was much better than the 4R. I installed the ironman foam cell pro stage 3 with 2.5 front 2 rear with 285 ko2. Way better acceleration with the GX and also more quiet and smooth. Crazy with 128k miles. Wish I world have known about the gx sooner. Loved it so much we got a 2017 gx for the stock family vehicle.
The market is ridiculous on the gx right now but still a good value from most sellers. Although a lot are asking too much. I bought mine in October 2020 for 13k, 128k miles, in great condition, only slightly cracked dash.
I have 21k total in with the mods and maintenance. Absolutely killer vehicle for the price.

Beautiful rig and thanks for sharing! Love the bumper and wheels...I have those now on my 4R.
I love and appreciate the insight. I looked at one today that was priced pretty nuts but is in good condition. That was until I engaged 4 low and the actuator got stuck since it obviously was never exercised. Besides that, I was thinking the GX would feel more dated and smaller than my 5th gen. I was wrong. While the design is dated, it has aged really well and I found the seats to be heavenly. 20 years of firefighting is taking its toll on the body and that matters to me now. Haha. Ugh.
I do greatly appreciate it and again, super nice rig. I can’t wait to dive into one.
