I'm thinking about purchasing a new LR4 but notice that it wallows (lean) a lot during turning or on uneven surfaces. It make my wife motion sick.

Any ideas or suggestions (other than not buying the LR4)?

I have no issues and I think my 2012 handles like a dream. I guess some may be less tolerant than others on the ride quality.

^^This^^

Unless you change out the suspension to rock hard stiffness (defeats the purpose of a LR), you can't change physics!

I am actually always surprised when I take a long fast curve at how composed and how little it leans. I suppose if you jump into an LR4 and take a quick city corner it will lean and you just have to get used to it.

What kind of vehicle are you used to?

Ever had a Land Rover before? You don't even know the meaning of body roll unless you've driven an older Range Rover or Disco. Those things felt like they would tip over.

It's the nature of the beast. The LR4 actually handles itself pretty well for the heavyweight that it is. That thing outweighs my enormous F140 supercrew.

Compared to my 2003 Land Cruiser the 2016 LR4 handles like a Ferrari. I am shocked how well the LR4 grips and does not lean.
