    Only have 100 mi on the OR with no highway miles just windy backroads but it feels better than the sport. It is new and has a shorter wheelbase.

    Notice anything different with the brake pedal on start up. Seems to build pressure and push back.

    My other vehicle is an '05 Mustang GT with '07 GT500 sway bars, struts, strut tower bar, wheels and 265/40/18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. The TRD Sport handles very well for a 4x4 truck and it rides better than my car. It's not even close to being too stiff for me, and I have ankylosing spondylitis (i.e. a REALLY bad back and spine.)

    Sounds like the OP shouldn't have bought a "Sport" truck and should have went with the softer SR5/Limited suspension or the softer still Off Road.

    I still think that you should research before you buy the vehicle.

    This complaint is yet another example that life is mostly self-inflicted.

    whats making your kids sick is not body roll but g forces through corners. Body roll counteracts g forces through corners in a sense by getting your body more closely aligned with the vector which shows the g forces acting on a car through a corner, which would point directly toward the outside of the corner , which is why they may feel better in an offroad, because the offroad leans a lot through corners their bodies would be more closely aligned with the axis where gravity normally acts on them, that being up and down versus side to side. In a car that has better suspension and grips the road better, you experience more of the g forces through corners as a passenger/driver. Thats why racing drivers have oddly shaped seats with lots of seatbelts.

    It's clear he doesn't like the of a truck so ya a Ridgeline might just be the thing.
