2016 Highlander Stiff Ride
Just traded my 2004 Highlander for a 2016 Highlander (V6, AWD). The ride on the 2016 is stiffer than the 2004, leading me to believe the engineers tweaked the suspension. Why, I don't know. One of the best features of the 2004 was its comfortable ride, especially how it handed rough spots in the road. Has anybody else who's traded a 1st generation Highlander for a 3rd generation Highlander noticed this?

My Highlander has got Michelin 245/60R18 tires.
Note - your 2004 probably had worn struts/shocks, which would make it ride smoother.
Thanks for your comments. I now understand the ride difference between my 2004 and my 2016. Also I was able to fix the problem by reducing the tire pressure from 40 to 35 -- Toyota's recommended pressure. Now I've got a ride more comparable to my 2004. Thanks again.
