My 2018 premium can be jittery and bouncy on small rough imperfections. Not expecting LS levelmof isolation but if you found the ride to be rough, what did you do to improve it? I know getting lighter aftermarket wheels will help, but thats an expensive proposition on a leased vehicle.
I dont have an air meter and the dash doesnt indicate it. I havent touched it since getn the car new from the dealer a month ago. The ride has improved a bit from day 1 though.
EDIT: Always a chance suspension will still settle in some more as well but at month I can't imagine much more. How many miles?
Tires might be inflated too high so not likely to trigger TPMS unless really high. I can't remember what the high pressure trigger is.. You might want to pick up a cheap tire pressure gauge at auto store to check. Confirm or lower to 30-32 PSI. Do this first thing in the day before driving and not after driving as tires will be heated up and pressure will read high.

Not much you can do after you bought/leased it...
Did you drive it before you signed your paperwork?
I would never buy a car I never drove myself, but I hope you get used to the feel of the truck.
I test drove it quite a few times and the ride was great. I do believe I need to let some air out of the tires, just havent had time to get around to doing that.
Looking at codes above looks like they recommend 32 PSI in China (URJ150L-GKTZKC) and 29 PSI in Middle East GCC (URJ150L-GKTZKV) and Sales Region Europe which is probably Russia and associated former republics (URJ150L-GKTZKW)
US or North America appears to be either (URJ150L-GKTZKA) or (URJ150L-GKTGKA) and we are 32 PSI too.
When I still had my stock tires (Michellin) I ran 32 PSI with Suspension in Sport mode and it was really nice.
But I usually like to have my tires a bit firmer so I run 34-35 PSI in N mode. But softer tires with firm suspension is very stable.

How do I get into sport mode? I dont think I have that **** on the premium model.

Yeah... that would be '10-'13 Premium, 14+ Luxury or a crawl converted vehicle. The last one could be confusing to some future buyers of a retrofitted GX with crawl if they weren't made aware of the conversion.
So apparently some idiot at the dealer decided to pump my tires to max allowable tire pressure (Michelin spec) instead of Lexus recommended tire pressure. I was at 51psi!!!!!! and that was on a chilly 40 degree morning. Lowered it to 40psi and the tires were squatting quite a bit so I left it at that. The ride improved considerably. I might lower it to 35psi and call it a day as I'm sure when the temps drop my psi will drop as well plus natural air loss.

Any way to improve ride on a premium model?
