Default Sales Knowledge & Wisdom!

From the many threads I have read it seems that many of us are not fully advised of all the technical attributes of the GX470 when we buy it & take delivery!

There's so much i have gleaned reading all these posts!

I invite everyone to add their word of wisdom about the GX470 untold capabilities to this thread so that we all can share the benefit!

IE: Who would have known about the speed compensated sunroof deflector if not for "PBM317" simply amazing stuff! (See Sunroof Pop)

Kash....You can toggle the screen between true north being 'up' or the dot moving in the direction of the truck by touching the compass on the nav screen. I use the true north when looking at the expanded maps to get a better bearing. How do you have the map move and the truck stay in the same spot?
