Cant wait to get rid of my steelies on the 2010 XL! The XL looks good with wheels and the black front with dark bumbers.

Also for XL drivers, I am about to tow for the first time (just a jet ski). Others on this forum talk about a tow mode (which in the XL we only have an O/D button). With something as light as a jet ski should I have to turn the O/D off or leave it on? 600 mile trip

thnx

Just turn on trailer sway control, I towed my double jet ski trailer with my XL to Galveston and back with O/D on and didnt even feel towing a trailer. Trailer sway is nice if you hit your brakes hard though lol

I recently got a quote for 17" xd addicts and nitto terra grapplers for $1800..i laughed at the guy and walked out. I like the tires on mudflap74, Im guessing around 285/70/17?? Maybe ill have to substitue the nitto for the dynapro atm.

edit: added a picture to show off the XL!

Yeah its under setup menu, you gotta hold the select/reset button to turn it on/off. I leave mine off unless I'm towing.
