Talking its normal that my camry has more stabilty than my 4runner?

the stability in 4 runner its different ? feels more hard suspension and maybe because my 4runner 99 is higher tall and more lifted than cars, but sometimes I FEEL THAT IS MORE sensible in road than my camry, its normal? thats the way it feels? cause I have one month now with the runner and its great and nice but I want to know..... sorry my bad english,

yeah but I wanted to know if its normal that trucks feel more hard in suspension than cars. i dont think my 4runner feel swooshy, but I feel more that something like the air moves(a little) the truck at a higher speed... is this normal?
in your experience with trucks how its the normal feeling? cause its my first truck Im always had cars...tnx

Yea trucks are higher profile, have a higher center of gravity, and have stiffer suspension (in most cases) to accommodate heavier loads.

Cars are cars, meant for driving on road in comfort. 4runners/Trucks are built for comfort but also for carrying a load, towing, going offroad, etc.

This isn't common sense or what?!

go to a used car dealer and drive another 1999-2000 4runner to compare
the 99 4runner drives like a pickup truck.

tire pressure, tire type, age and wear of the ball joints, shocks, springs
and tie rods affect how it feels.
the 99 4runner is not a sport vehicle and it is not intended to drive like a car.



what it can do and what it is built for is,
crawl up bony tote roads better than most 'SUV's' can ever hope to.




newer ones gen 4 and above drive more like cars and have
all different suspension than gen 3 and below
