Also if you haven't already take it off roading to give the suspension a bit of a "workout". Might accelerate things

Hey I felt the same in my sr5 but I found the suspension broke in a bit around 2200 miles. Now it's still a "busy" ride but not so much harsh. My gut feeling is it'll continue to break in until 10k miles.

Would be interesting to know if it's the same in the gx550.

Any update? I have noticed the same. It makes cleaning the car a pain

The highest I have seen is around 28-29 mpg on a highway trip. This is with a bike rack attached which might affect aero. Has anyone done back to back testing with higher octane gas to see what the effect is?

How much for parts/labor?

Havent noticed it since my last post but I think manufacturing lubrication is a plausible explanation. It has happened intermittently since my ownership for the past 5 months.

Has anyone done runs on 87 vs 91 octane to see if they have any effect on mpg?

I have the same thing on mine. Any resolution?

It's sr5 4wd. Just over 3000 miles

23.2 mpg. mixed driving in socal. Am light on throttle and use eco. Stock everything.

I wonder how many miles these guys have on the car. It feels like the suspension softens a litle over time.

You can also just remove the rear seats its about a 15 minute job.

That's good to hear. I'm only at around 2k miles so hopefully the ride softens up a bit more.

How many miles does that typically take for full breakin?

Anybody have an sr5 with 10k miles and can chime in on if their ride quality has improved? I am at around 2200 miles and it feels like the suspension has gotten slightly softer. Might be imagining it or just getting used to the ride though.

Does suspension have a break in period?

To me it feels like the springs are actually on the softer side however the shock is very over damped on compression.

Ive seen that video but I am just talking about on road performance. I actually notice harshness on the road in broken uneven areas of pavement where the left and right wheels aren't moving together. I have heard just removing the rear makes little difference to the handling of the car.

How was the ride feel on pavement? Notably smoother or made no real difference?
