The problem is most likely the shocks having poor valving, not the springs themselves. The thread I linked had an owner who mentioned installing only the Fox 2.0 shocks fixed the ride quality. If you do decide to get the Fox 2.0 shocks, please let us know if it fixes the ride.
That is absolutely well deserved and is probably one of the intended outcomes of this thread. I wish someone warned me about the abnormally poor ride quality before I bought mine. I would have purchased a different car, likely a used 5th gen. It is 100% Toyota's fault they put overdamped shocks...
glad the proposed fix worked! Considering performing the same on mine. Do you feel like its a significant upgrade for all types of bumps, like you can just take speed bumps at whatever speed you wish now?

it appears to me that the poor ride quality is caused by too much crack pressure on sharp high speed compressions. This could be caused by poor valving or...
There seems to be a distinct lack of actual metrics with some people saying "the ride quality is fine" and others like me insisting that it absolutely isnt.
I drove a brand new 2025 trd orp (non hybrid) with a build date of 9/25 and it had the same poor ride quality. The service mechanic also...
I have the factory Falken Wildpeaks on my '25 TRD OR, and have been noticing they have poor traction in snow. Takes forever to stop, ABS kicking in frequently. My previous car with the Wildpeak A/T trail had more grip in snow. Anyone else noticing the same?
I know these obviously aren't winter...
I'm local to the area, favorite trail is probably Canaan loop road in WV (about 3 hours away). I'd say it's slightly more difficult than Peter's Mill run but the scenery was much more interesting, and there were some nice short hikes to overlooks/waterfalls in the area. The trail can also be...
issue still persists at 5600 miles. I have not sold the car yet. There are a few other threads discussing the fix for ride quality, which appears to be installing Fox 2.0 shocks
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...
This is likely the route I will take to improve ride quality. I’d like this done before shipping.
2 more questions:
1. Will the front coilover spring tension be noticeably higher since the spring is compressed more than factory by moving the collar down?
2. If I keep the factory rear springs...
