It’s most noticeable in body roll. Drive down a straight road and move the wheel back and forth, left to right, and observe the body roll. Then put it in Sport S+ and do the same. You should notice an immediate difference.

I flip my modes back and forth all the time. Got a good, sweeping corner coming up? Tighten it up and take it like a champ, then flip it back to normal for a softer ride. Works well.

Yeah I have a '15 and I can easily notice the different between sport+ and eco modes on the suspension. The ride gets way stiffer in sport +

The rear window one-touch closing... wow! Didn't realize how much I missed this feature while driving the Sequoia these past 3 months. In hot South Florida, after getting into the car, you are required to roll down all the windows for the first 2-5 minutes to get most of the hot air out. In the Sequoia it was a manual process, in the GS today I flicked the window switch and was soooooo happy not to have to maintain pressure to roll up the rears. I know... I know... first world problem and complaints...

Interesting. Where does it say that? I looked in the 2013 manual and couldn't find any mention of that.

Display settings cannot be changed while driving. The drive mode can be changed at any time.

That’s what pops up on my 2013 Lux when I change the suspension while driving?

He's talking about the display settings for the drivers instrument cluster, that can't be changed when you are driving. You have to park to change them, like brightness, turning off the red sport mode led backlight of the cluster, etc.

If you get the message about changing display settings while changing your drive mode then there is something wrong with your car.

Oh good. I didn’t want there to be an issue with your car!

So for those who have the trim...

Ever notice the 3-D effect of the dash in different light? Look at the light/shadow breakline.
