Fortuner: how to improve riding comfort?

[cdlibi]

how do we improve or soften the ride of the toyota f4x4 fortuner? whats the best way?

[driven]

short term solution and probably the cheapest way is to decrease the recommended tire pressure by around 4 to 5 lbs/sq in. however, you might have to sacrifice the life span of your tire...

maybe the best method is to replace the existing shocks, i know some people who were pretty satisfied with the ride right after changing the shocks

I wouldn't lower the tire pressure THAT much. Delikado din kasi sa blow-out eh dahil baka me-deform ang belts. There are ads for aftermarket springs but I haven't tried them myself.

Seriously though. Ride comfort is one of the things that should be tested in the test drive.

Doon sa hindi pa nakaka-try, kung gusto niyo talaga nice ride, try the FXT. Grabe. Palagay ko next down will be the SF.

sobrang tagtag ba talaga nyan Fortuner? parang 2nd gen strada ba

[ssaloon]

use nitrogen on your tires, get an aftermarket set of springs and shocks.

try speedlab spring and shocks combo

bilstein shocks
H&R springs

Test drove the Forester XT once, and was surprise how extremely comfortable it is. Mas maganda ride nya kaysa bagong accord.

Test drove the Forester XT once, and was surprised how extremely comfortable it is and without compromising handling. Mas maganda ride nya kaysa bagong accord.

To improve your fort's ride significantly I think you should fit it with air bag suspension. Kaya nga lang it's expensive and dont know if kits are made for fortuners.
