2025 ORP harsh suspension

[duke]

I love my 4Runner but was just wondering how you guys are all dealing with this ride quality?

Mine is an ORP non-hybrid with stock 18's wrapped in AT3WA's. 33 PSI.

The best way to describe the rid quality is imagine an Xbox controller vibrating, but it's the whole car. Even on seemingly smooth pavement, there's constant vibrations and on any rough cracks it's jolting the whole car. Granted, my last two trucks were Ram Rebel with air suspension and a Gen 3 raptor so maybe I am a little spoiled with ride quality..

Before I bought mine I test drove an SR5 which actually rode very well. I did not think the ORP would be this much harsher.

Has anyone noticed a big difference with different tires? I've heard these AT3WA's are pretty bad. Or did I just pick the wrong trim level?

The ride coupled with the fact that the softex seats are a bit firm in the bum region is making me consider trading it in- thankfully getting a lot of strong offers value wise, so that part won't be painful.

Interesting that the SR5 rode very well for you. One of our forum sponsors @alldogsoffroad said this about his SR5, " The OEM SR5 suspension was really, really not great. " He changed to their ADO Fox Suspension which was a big improvement.

I love most everything about my ORP (non-hybrid). My biggest gripe being the harsh ride just as you described it. Doesn't make sense that owners should have to spend thousands more on a $60K vehicle to improve the ride quality.

My ORP also came with 18" Falken AT3WA's. At 99 miles, I replaced the Falken's with five Toyo AT3 LT275/70R18 E-rated. I believe there was a very slight reduction in ride harness. But still far from good.

My solution arrived today. Fox 2.0 install next week. Even if the OEM ride was good, I would have still installed these for a 2" front lift. Also, Peak Suspension 1" rear spring spacer is on the way.

A lot of folks have said the ORP Suspension is stiff. I’d just get some better suspension.

i would wait a few months and see if the suspension softens out and breaks in

I have the 2025 ORP non hybrid and I love my suspension. Same stock tires run at 33-34psi. iMO, my ride is incredibly smooth. I was surprised at how smooth it is. Interesting that you’re having issues.

Same setup as you and I'm very happy with the ride... wish we could swap for a few miles see if there is a difference mine has 13k miles.
