Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2014 Toyota Sequoia Platinum

Question

Question:

Hey I have the 2014 Toyota Sequoia Platinum. It has three modes for factory rear suspension: Sport, Middle and Comfort. I am wondering do I need the Timbren SES for when I am towing or is the factory built-in air compressor going to do the leveling for me when I tow ie. 6500 lb trailer?

Your 2014 Toyota Sequoia Platinum does not require suspension enhancement if you are comfortable with the ride with your trailer connected in any of the 3 factory modes. The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TTORSEQ1 are the correct fit if you want to add suspension enhancement which will take the brunt of the additional weight when towing to reduce wear on your factory suspension. These springs are designed to increase in rigidity and support as more weight is added working to provide stability and reduce body roll. They won't change the ride when you don't have a heavy load so adding them is my recommendation for you to pull a 6,500 lb trailer. I've attached a video that helps with a visual along with the explanation to assist.

The suspension of your 2008 Toyota Sequoia is soft enough that you'll experience some sag as you are towing the trailer you mentioned. Suspension enhancement like the Timbren kit part #TTORSEQ1 would be a really great idea to reduce this and give…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
