  • Diff ratios - same for GX and GXL?

    Hi all,

    Can anyone confirm if the diff ratios in the 150 series GX and GXL are the same? I am looking at upgrading to a 150 series and going through the question of buying a GX or GXL, both of which have different tyre sizes. If I do purchase a GX I would look to get the GXL wheels from new and therefore am interested to know if the diff ratio is the same in both vehicles. The Toyota website lists them as being the same but I don't know whether to trust that information or not.

    I currently have a 95 series RV which has smaller tyres than the GXL and Toyota put in a different diff ratio to suit. I did not know, nor think about this at the time of buying the vehicle. Several times I've considered swapping to the GXL size wheels and tyres for the additional ground clearance but the cost and effort to change diffs has put me off. I don't want to make the same mistake again.

    Thanks
    Ando

    The diffs should be the same. The tyre diameters from GX and GXL are the same, just different width and height profile.

      Oh okay, thanks. I didn't realise they were the same diameter. I've been searching for info on these tyre diameters but haven't been able to find much.

      This might be a question for the tyre section but are the standard sizes unusual and therefore which size is easiest to get replacement for in decent all terrain rubber?

        I believe it's very hard if not impossible to get decent off road or all terrain rubber for the GX wheels due to the width.

        A wheel upgrade seems to be the only option from what others have said.

        Cheers, Sam.

          Cooper have a size to fit the GX rim that is an aggressive tread.
          Pirelli too but almost same as AT 20
