Default Air suspension GX 470

Do all 1st gen GX 470's have the rear air suspension system?

If so are there any issues with it?

Reason I ask, I looking at getting a GX and I had previously owned an RX330 with the air suspension system and hated the ride (bounced a lot and seemed like there was no dampening), replaced the pump and dampening valves (1,100), and still never improved the ride. Leary of the air suspension systems

All GX's (470 & 460) have the rear air suspension unless a previous owner removed it.

A bouncy ride would be the fault of worn shocks.

I have seen base 460 with out Air Suspension on the lot. I just figured the base 2010+ did not have it.

I really like the air suspension, if not just get a 4th gen v8 runner and call it a day

Reread the original post. All GX470's have air suspension.

You're right. The new models don't even have it as an option, even on the Luxury or Premium packages. Coils all around.
