Hi All,

Got a 2021 Limited. Used to have a Mazada CX9.
We are loaded to the roof from the second seats back for trip to Fla for season. Dogs occupy bench middle seat.
Toyo feels really full with nose up attitude. When we loaded the CX like this it rode more level and actually handled better. Even had a little dash dial to readjust the headlights down to compensate. I think we were able to jamb more stuff in the Mazda as well. We like the Toyota fine for most part but I think what we are noticing is the Toyota is more softly sprung. Anyone agree/disagree? Can I '"reshock" the Toyota or otherwise firm up the suspension without breaking the bank?

Thanks!

See if you can find some lowering springs or coilovers for your application. Completely transformed my 2002 Highlander. It handles flat like a good-handling car, and even when loaded up, it doesn't sag / body roll and still handles well with 4+ people in the car. Enjoys towing more too. Toyotas are too softly-sprung from the factory, but a good set of springs make all the difference.
