Default Comfort access and suspension wear

Comfort access mode lowers the suspension every time you shut down the vehicle to aid in exit and entry. Seems like a nice feature but I can't help but think that it causes excess wear and tear on the air suspension system. Anyone been using comfort access mode long term and had any issues?

Repeat after me "The 200-Series Lexus LX has a hydraulic suspension- not a pneumatic suspension."

Range Rovers have air suspension, and it's notoriously unreliable. Lexus uses hydraulic fluid, and suspension issues are infrequent.

Ahhh... this whole time I was thinking it was pneumatic like the RR. Yes hydraulic is much better. Now I'm not so worried. Thanks!!

90,000+ miles on mine and lowering is always engaged. No problems.
