Default Towing - Air Suspension or Regular Suspenion

Is there a significant difference with the air suspension in the luxury? Debating between black line and luxury. Is one suspension better for toeing an RV? Also Luxury offers larger trans cooler which is not available in the other configurations.

The real question is does the air suspension make a significant difference?

Short answer yes, the air bags make a difference when towing.

I have the luxury and after lifting lost the bags and immediately noticed the difference (with a small 16ft trailer with ez loft hitch stabilizer).

I added the airlift air bags (fairly cheap $90, and easy to install so if you get the blackline it can still be corrected fairly easy if you dont like the towing sag and harsh drive without the bags.

I tow a 19' travel trailer and the transmission cooler and the airbags are the primary reason I bought the Executive version (the top of the line option package in Canada and the only one that includes both these options). Yes it makes a difference and to me was worth the extra cost.
