    The same with the exception that some people have said the KDSS equipped TRD is a little stiffer. I haven't been in a non KDSS equipped runner.

    can confirm kdss makes the ride different over uneven bumps (potholes). noticeably more firm but not teeth chattering kidney bruising stiff.

    It's a million times better than my 2nd gen Tacoma was but it's no Lexus.

    X2. The suspension on an SR5 & OR is identical. Premium has no bearing on the suspension. As @whippersnapper02 mentions, KDSS will affect the handling, and is only available on OR models, premium or not.
