TRD Pro - Not So Pro Ride Quality!!!

[Chicane]

I responded early on and felt the OP had to be a troll. Very common these days. Funny how so many took the bait.

Whether we took the bait or not, the reality is reality. You don’t remember that one member who counted get rid of his vibration at HWY speed on his Pro. Was he a troll?

Whats the issue with many of us wanting to find a solution? I’m looking at installing some Fox 2.0 shocks as $2300 is well worth it if I can get rid of these horribly tuned factory shocks.

I actually own 2 new '25 4Runners, one being a TRD Pro and the other TRD Off Road P - I-Max. Prior to these, we had several 5th Gen 4Runners. The old 4Runners were amazing vehicles, but I'm guessing they weren't everyone's cup of tea, but there's a ton of them out there. Our new cars are amazing with no problems, just like our previous 4Runners. The new ones are more contemporary, plus the accruements are very refined and the seats comfortable. With this said, it's a better vehicle, but it's still a 4Runner. If it were a domestic feeling vehicle, they couldn't give them away in droves, and please don't school me on how your 4Runner should be. It's a 4Runner, body on frame sport utility vehicle / light truck. Since its inception it's been this type of vehicle, why in the world would they change it? Hopefully you'll grow to love your new 4Runner. If not, please try making a more informed purchase going forward. Google is your friend

OP's complaints are valid and recognized by several reputable sources. Unfortunate they had to sell and buy another truck.

Edmunds for example:
- "agonizingly stiff ride quality"

As a side note, @alldogsoffroad just released a video of installing the (purported) fix, aftermarket fox shocks:

I'm honestly on the fence about doing this, as I don't have my own garage. If someone here installs these shocks for their 4runner, please let me know if it fixed the ride quality.

Looking for insight / validation / others experience...
My new TRD Pro has what I would consider poor ride quality. There is little isolation of the road to the cabin/chassis, and of course the steering wheel. My 24 Corvette Z06 has better isolation than this 4Runner. Every little bump, expansion joint, just disrupts the vehicle. I'm surprised by this as my previous 5th Gen TRD Pro had a much nicer ride than this brand new one.

Now I get that none of us bought a Cadillac, and I'm not expecting luxury driving experience, but something doesn't sit right with me on the NVH front here. My shocks are set to the softest setting and my tires are inflated to 32psi. I have had my tires balance checked, and road force calculated (fronts are 8-11, rears are 20-31). The dealer of course told me it's normal...

What are you TRD Pro owners experiencing?

With these new 2025 4Runners, learn to embrace the road and get use to saying: "“Hold on—this 4WD’s in Rodeo Mode!”
