I just recently purchased the MXT 275 and it has been great! I own a 2015 Tacoma (double cabe) and used the space under the back seat to house my aftermarket electronics. There was enough space to mount the body of the MXT275 with the rest of the electronics and using a cat 6 cable and female/female bulk head connected the hand mic in the cubby under the AC controls. I can disconnect the hand mic, throw it in the glove box and no one can see any components, helping avoid theft. I did upgrade to a 6db gain antenna and we have had no problems talking with other trucks using similar GMRS platforms and hand held radios on the ground through various terrains and urban environments. The hand mic is loud and clear, has great functions and the weather band is always great on long trips. I would highly recommend this radio platform!

Solid unit. Ideal for installation in a vehicle with limited space or mounting options (mine is a 2008 Highlander). I also like having all the controls on the handset. This is the ideal radio for a vehicle.

Love my new Midland Micro Mobile GMRS unit! I installed it in my 2017 Jeep JK between the sun visors and it fits perfectly. Not a lot of options to mount accessories in a Jeep and the need for a compact and strong radio was a must. The radio performs very well with the 6db gain antenna mounted on a front fender mount.

I purchased one two months ago for camping trips and trail riding. The range is spectacular. I use it in the truck while traveling and move it over to the side by side on the trails. It is super easy to use and install. The only accessory I recommend is a larger magnetic base and antenna for the truck; it improved the range and clarity for long (over 20-mile) range. I love it!

The radio works great, is compact, and has a solid feel. Having the controls all in the handset is great. The ability to use repeaters is the main reason I got this radio and for that reason alone this radio is worth it (long overdue). The only downside, which is probably for regulatory reasons, is that the radio doesn't contain the FRS frequencies, just the GMRS frequencies. The channels are still aligned though. It just skips over the channel numbers for the FRS frequencies.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this radio for use in my Jeep during overland travel. I took my first overland trip this past weekend through the Blue Ridge Mountains in VA and NC and the radio did not disappoint. Very easy to use, great range despite terrain, and the USB port is an added bonus. The unit is very compact and the bracket that comes in the kit makes for easy mounting. I went with a hard wired installation using a Blue Sea Systems fused terminal board. No issues thus far. If you're in the market for a GMRS radio I highly recommend this unit.
