Default bad Ride

hi guys I have been driving a 2006 GX470 of which I have traded in for a 2006 certified LX470 becuase of the expanding family I am picking up the LX470 this afternoon when I first test drove the LX I was in shock that the ride was so rough I mention it to the sales guy but he brush it off that it's a different suppension then the GX470! mind you my GX470 has a PLUSH but controlled in the normal setting ! so i was surprised that LX470 was so rough.Any Idea's since I am new to the LX and have only driven it once!

Have you test driven any other LX's?

Our 2006 LX certainly doesn't ride like our LS but it is hardly "rough" even in the firmest of the four settings. In fact, for a body on frame vehicle it rides remarkably smooth.

Perhaps drive another example.

Default rough ride

I took it in yesterday and they check out and adjusted the tire pressure which they said was off and it rides good now and your right it's very smooth for a truck this size I have it set to the normal and it's fine I just bought this truck a couple of days ago traded in my 2006 GX470 which was very smooth and a plush ride.
Thanks
