Any thoughts on ride quality in the 24 vs 23?

No one has driven a 2024 except for some press and dealers at training. Most I've heard is "drives lighter". Based on how my LX600 felt, I'd assume similar, with more carlike steering and a lighter vs. heavier (like the current GX) feel on road.

Ride quality is subjective and almost in the same category as butt dyno.

Let’s wait for real 550 owners to provide their personal feedback.

Yeah, FYI, we're not going to see media driving impressions on the GX 550 until February (outside of anyone that's already been given a preview).

I wonder how noticeable the AvS adjustments will be for the suspension. On my LS500, it’s very noticeable between comfort and sport+, night and day type of difference. I’m unsure if the air suspension plays into that, which the GX 550 will not have.

Is the AVS suspension for the 550 essentially the same as that on F Sport models with changes to both the throttle response and suspension feel? Seems these settings are nearly identical to those on my GS 350 F Sport.

KDSS is very noticeable on other platforms because it does a great job of fighting body roll with the giant sway bars.

Overtrail+ might be the way to go, although I haven't seen exactly what the AVS settings will be like for it.
