There's an option called KDSS that has a thicker sway bar


It's a bit more than that.

But yes, KDSS works. Very well. We have a GX (essentially a Lexus 4Runner) with KDSS and it has almost much no lean in corners, even taken very fast, despite being tall and skinny, and doesn't buck at all.

I bought a 2013 4Runner about 6 months ago... I love the ride on it. I really enjoy everything about it so far.

It needs it. Sharp-looking, but terrible front suspension and transmissions.

I would pass for a bit.

Any thoughts on the Sequoias? Know the body style hasn't been updated lately, shite gas mileage. But I'm assuming just as reliable as my Tundra. Cheaper than the LC's

She's been pretty determined on a 4Runner. Personally, I don't think they ride all that great.


They're hideous and always have been, but they're made well and if that's what she wants then just get it so she shuts the frick up about it.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. One of the better looking SUVs on the road.

The new 4Runners are f'ing badass. I love my 2012, just had to do a few mods to beef it up.

A very similar hydraulic suspension system, albeit on a different scale, is used by the really slow and boring car shown below.

That is because they are built body on frame, not unibody. They are more truck-like and offroad oriented. Like everyone else has said, you cant go wrong with a 4Runner based on reliability, resell value and just overall being one of the best vehicles of all time

Only answers are: 4Runner or if you want to spend a little more...Lexus GX! Both are reliable as hell! GX is a cousin of 4Runner but has a much smoother ride, a proper v8 (so you can tow) & full time 4wheel drive. I own both vehicles & wouldnt hesitate to buy (both) again

They do ride great, for trucks. Remember, they're proper trucks with a frame and can tow and go offroad, not a pansy crossover that's really a minivan without sliding doors.

I got a used SUV from Enterprise Sales.

It only had 19K on it.

they stand by their deals. you can return it if you don't like it after driving it a week.

I have had zero issues.

You can browse the internet for their present offerings.
Give them a call and let them know what you are looking at.

It was the best car buying experience I ever had. they brought to my house. It reminded me of what I hear the Japanese do.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland and Summit editions. Those two are pretty nice and are very capable both and and off road. IMHO I think they the closest thing you going to get to an American made Land Rover.



Great looking vehicle that has managed to meet Land Rover's low reliability numbers.
