    Planning to buy 2024 Tundra, 1794 Edition in near future. Couple questions regarding Load Leveling Rear Height Control Air Suspension and Adaptive Variable Suspension: Is the Load Leveling function performed by "air shocks" or "air bags" associated with the rear coil springs, or are there air bags in place of the coil springs? Also, how does the adaptative variable suspension compare to the normal suspension? (I know this is almost blasphemous, but wife really likes the ride comfort of the Ram Limited with air bag suspension--but we don't want a Ram!)

    We currently have two vehicles ('12 Camaro and '23 Traverse), wife and I are both retired and down-sizing to one vehicle. Need a vehicle that provides ride comfort as we do frequent road-trips of 4 to 9 hours and multiple days. Like the Tundra and the mechanicals of it's design. Have not yet driven or ridden in one, just beginning the internet research process--thus the questions.

    Thanks in advance,
    Clark

    Load leveling is achieved by air bags, truck has no rear coil springs.

    Avs is good for me. People swear a coil sprung tundra rides better but I haven't driven one. I can tell you that the comfort setting is nice and plush and the normal is great for daily driving.

    @eddiefromcali and @ChucklesToy --Thanks for the input. Gave me a better understand. Particularly like what I learned about AVS. Thanks again.
