    Just picked up a 2021 with KDSS and I’m super impressed with the vehicles stability in turns. I have a Tacoma with a similar stance and you can definitely tell the difference. There’s absolutely zero body roll.

    It’s gets pretty windy here in Kansas so I’m looking forward to how it handles the interstate on a windy day. I can significantly feel the wind in my Tacoma so I’m hoping that it limits the rocking side to side body movement on those days. I’ll report back once I can test it out.

    There’s some decent hills west of KC in the Flint Hills area near Manhattan.

    I have a 2013 with KDSS, I agree it!s very stable on the mountain roads here in Utah. It works well off-road here in Canyonlands NP and Moab, I luv the rock setting. Enjoy.

    We just got a '21 ORP with KDSS and I love it. So much better than our 2006 4runner, 2016 4Runner and 2020 Tacoma. Stability is impressive for a BOF, high center of gravity SUV.

    I have 2020 ORP with KDSS and have driven I70 in Kansas several times when it was windy there is a little rocking with high gusts, no issues with it being windy.

    I've only driven with KDSS and I don't understood complaints about body roll and nose dive. I also cannot understand wanting suspension upgrade for on road stability either. I think everyone needs KDSS
