I have some suspension questions.

Thanks,

Someone I know in Manila is getting one. Finds the ride too stiff. Dealer is offering to put softer shocks to make the deal. I think that will make the ride worse rather than better since the problem is the springs are too stiff. Might be better off trading the faux AT tires for proper street tires since it's a 4x2 that will never be driven off road.

They have a newer model, it has more powerful engine and claimed better suspension, took it for a ride, useless front and rear suspension, starts squirming at the first sign of road rut, hard ride, very hard in rear and too much body roll, handfull to drive off road. The guy in Manilla should get himself the Toyota Fortuner, far better deal and way better engine with very good off road performance.
