They said I had to keep the 35"s
That's why you're riding rougher... I'm guessing one of two things.. You went with big rubber 35" mudders with stiff sidewalls and a recommended 40psi or some 20+" rims with low profile still sidewall 35's... Either way you've got a much stiffer sidewall on your tire and they'll beat the devil out of you compared to a highway tire..

But it's prolly to late, becaus e by the time you find this you'll alreadyhave the Lux/off road, which if it's worth the extra dough to you, is a better choice... But with those 35" tires is still gonna ride about the same..

I'm going to have to politely disagree. When I test drove the H3 w/the adventure package it felt slower and the ride quality was (IMHO) very rough. I thought the non-adventure package was a much smoother ride and it felt like the vehicle was a little more powerful.
That'd be the tires I'd bet.. The All Terrain tire on the ADV will have a stiffer sidewall that the highway tire on the base or Lux..

The more power thing could be differences in the individual motors or the lower profile tires giving the thing more torque...

No doubt the tires and (if the torsion bars are cranked) that this has a large affect on the feel of the ride. You weren't really comparing apples to apples.Gettingboth option packs will tell you once and for all though.

Just to follow up here... It rides way different with the Toyo Open Countrys on it... They are 35s and the MT and not the AT... but the suspension feels way better on this lux/adventure... I'm glad I traded it in for the extra cash it was def worth it to me.
