I think the pandemic made everyone wanna buy a cheap SUV with tons of off road capability and get outdoors, and the GX was the perfect answer.
@jhat742 жыл бұрын
Part of your MPG drop is likely due to the odometer and onboard computer thinking you are on stock tires. The larger tires require less revolution to travel 1 mile, meaning that when your odometer reads you’ve traveled 1 mile, you may have actually traveled 1.1 or 1.15 miles. Basically, the same idea that big tires affecting your speedometer also applies to your onboard MPG computer and odometer.

A lot of people that don’t know the history of the gx or prado look at it as a soccer mom car. Far from it! This car is a smaller version of a Land Cruiser. Once people started to find out that’s when they shot up in resell value. One, it’s tank like reliability engine wise and it’s off road capability. It really started during the covid plandemic when overlanding started growing in popularity.

Not sure about financial situations for everyone in here but me personally I do not make much money since I’m a high schooler so finding cheap ways to make my 2003 GX my parents gave me is a super big priority of mine. But I found that a really really crazy good looking mod you can do to your wheels is spray paint the stock rims the car comes with black. It’s very easy and only costed me $60 for all the materials I needed and took me about a week to let everything settle. It looks really good and it’s very cheap. Just a recommendation for those trying to save money and still get a good mod.

All these GX videos are making me rethink getting a 4Runner! Currently running a 2003 WJ Limited V8 that's on it's last axles before major repair. I'm the second owner and being honest it's the last good GC generation. So I was looking heavy at 4Runners for their reliability. Had the WJ probably around 15 years, but now it probably needs roughly $2000 worth of repairs between cosmetics (major bumper and fender bashes), electrical, and mechanical fixes. Doubt I'll get over $1500 for it so time to look into a new vehicle. And want to get into overlanding. Went to college in the Appalachian foothills and loved my 96 Explorer back then. However, I enjoy the Limited's comforts..heated leather seats, climate control, etc. Lexus offers that on base models and 4Runner just doesn't. It's 20+ years and climate control isn't standard on 4Runners. Have to go TRD Pro or Limited. Add the fact I live in the south and hot, humid weather is the norm...ventilated seats would be amazing too. Going to keep watching! Thanks for the series!
