Is the 08 Summit X Really that much better than the Everst??

What is the difference between the two? All i can see is the front shocks and a steel braded brake line. Is there something I am missing?

The gauge package. X has a pretty nice digital set up. Everest is analog dials. I will say the Everest is still better than anything on the previous REV though.

Love the gauges, peeled off decals and threw the "X" shocks away. Have never had an X before, this one was a replacement for the everest that I wrecked. Same sled just a few different little things

Take the funny plastic wings off, cut the windshield down, most people can't tell. With the extra money you save, by some floats, and upgrade to a timber suspension someday. You'll be better than an X.

Love my 08 X. The gauge cluster and the 163" was worth it too me. Resale value is typically a little better on X models also.

For the extra money, IMO the "X" is not worth it. Hasnt been for the last 6 years. Throw the same amount of alterations (mods) at them both,and you get the same performance, but cheaper with the everest.

Performance wise they will probably be close but when it comes time to either trade up or sell-the X models will always bring more money.
