    I am sitting in a waiting room while my new 2024 SR5 Premium is getting treated for rust prevention. I noticed driving over here that the nose dives down then give a little bounce when braking. First ever 4Runner. Just wondering how normal that is. Thanks.

    It's normal and you get used to it, but it was a minor annoyance for me. It improved significantly when I upgraded the suspension.

    Totally normal with stock suspension. I forgot how much my 2015 4Runner suspension improved when the stock shocks wore out at 100k miles and I replaced them with Bilstein 5100s. I quickly remembered when I got my 2024. When these wear out, I'm getting another pair of Bilsteins.

    Wait 'til you drive it on a long road trip. After a few hours you'll feel like you're on a boat. That's normal, too.

    The body lean when turning right? The nose dive is par for the course

    normal because the OEM struts/shocks suck. When i took my new 2022 TSE home (only 8 miles on it), i ripped out the front and rear suspension and went with Bilstein. Improved everything 100%
