[Adam C Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Adam C]

Hi guys
Just negotiating a new 2018 GXL with leather pack. Accessories from Toyota I am thing about (the rest will be after market from arb etc).
Tow Bar - any reason not to go Toyota or are there better tow bars.
Snorkel- are toyota ones good (they look like Safari) or are there better.
Any other Toyota accessories that are worth thinking about before I go after market.
Thanks
Adam

Not sure if the genuine toyota snorkles are actually snorkles- I know on the 70 series they're not worth a pinch of...salt as far as being sealed- They are a "raised air intake". See what they want for the genuine accessories and know the price of a safari option (around 450) from memory. I'd probably go the genuine tow bar- unless haymen reece is significantly cheaper.

I went with the Toyota towbar. The main differences seem to be the Haymen Reece was cheaper and the Toyota bar requires a rear bumper cut, I don't think the Haymen Reece does.

If in Brisbane, a Wynum tow bar are good and save about $300 over Toyota.

No idea what current GXL pricing is, but the other thing to consider is whether those genuine accessories will tip you over the LCT threshold if not already..

LCT tax is $65,094 this year. Accessories can be billed separately so as not to add to the cost of the vehicle that relates to LCT. 67K is the best I have been able to get on a 2018 GXl with leather pack so far. I this reasonable?

Mine was just over $65000 for 2018 build and compliance GXL auto with leather, Toyota tow bar and tint to front windows in February (Sydney). I wanted glacier white, but was offered any colour for the same price. Was offered it for a few hundred cheaper by another dealer but didn't like their service reviews. Others have reported paying less.
