Cool Kdss

I have an '04 GX with KDSS on order. My salesman said the vehicle should be in within the next two weeks. My question is, if anyone knows, will KDSS be a solution for the vibration problem?

KDSS is a handling option and does not cure the vibration problem.

Thumbs up

I just picked up my new 2004 Dorado Gold GX with KDSS about a week ago. I have logged about 300 miles so far. I believe the KDSS GX rides much nicer than the GX I test drove without it. I know its subjective, but the ride feels more controlled and less floaty in the "comfort/normal" setting than the tester did, without any compromise in ride quality. As far as leaning less when cornering, it helps in that area also. I didn't do a lot of fast cornering in my test drives, so it is hard for me to compare it to the GX without the KDSS. But, my last vehicle was a 2001 LX470, and I can say that this GX with the KDSS corners much better than the LX and the GX is a narrower and taller vehicle.

Hope this helps.

Also forgot to mention.........

I have not experienced any vibration problems or feelings like I have been rear-ended when I come to a stop as I have read on other posts/forums. Also, it appears Lexus fixed the temp guage as it is close to accurate as far as I can tell.
