My SUVs, all four of them now and in the past, all rode fine on the highway. But, friends sedans in general rode and handled better. Notice I did not say SUVs rode poorly at all, just worse then sedans. I thought all the small ones have rode a little too stiff for me. But, on back roads at lower speeds with unpaved roads, ruts, potholes and dips are all Swallowed up by the SUVs larger tires and greater wheel travel . On highways at higher speeds, hitting pavement irregularities , the greater unstrung weight of the SUV s just don’t work as well. Also, the poorer handling is tiring driving long distances with more wheel corrections .
IMHO, Wranglers aren’t tuned at all. To me that implies that some may have good on road capabilities. They have solid axles, high spring rates to keep them elevated and greater ground clearance. There is nothing a shop can do to a wrangler to give it a good ride or handling and no Wrangler I have ever known did anything but stink on road. Mt 4Runner has a pretty good ride but compared to a good sedan, it just doesn’t cut it as far as it’s handling is concerned. Now, traveling 30 mph over a rough road, a good SUV has little equal, while the Camry would be shaken to pieces.
