4th Gen T4R to 2nd Gen GX

Good day to you, Just wanted to extend a forward apology, I as a new (to me) GX owner will, (likely) be cluttering your forum with FNG posts. I have been active in the 4th gen forum over the years, and truly appreciate the tolerance and unending understanding that the members over there have afforded a pleb such as I.

Thanks! I had my T4R for 8 years, and hope the GX can repeat or exceed that performance.
Pick it up tomorrow. had some minor paint work to clean up before I'd take possession.

Congrats on the upgrade! I'm sure you'll be please with the decision for years to come.

I've also had my 4th gen for 8 years and 150k miles. Preparing to make the same change as you. I'm looking for a 2010-2013 GX. Also hoping it provides me with another 8 years and 150k pain-free miles.

Was looking at ML63's and GX's I think the implied reliability is the long bet. I can say without equivocation that its by far the most comfortable ride I've had, It came with Goodyear-SRAs which im not impressed by, looking at Cooper AT3 4S ~September. I've also found that most of the 4R stuff fits, SpiderTrax are direct bolt, the air filter is a 99% fit, (AFE Pro Dry). May look at adding Multi-Terrain Select, and Crawl Control.

Good luck on your hunt, do you prefer the pre-facelift?

I do prefer the pre-facelift. It's reminiscent of the 470.
