it looks like the LX Kdss system has been buggy. Now they have added it on the LC also. Is it now a better /improved system? or is it the same system that is on the Lexus and LC owners should plan on future issues? Thanks!!

"Buggy"? Not sure what you are referring to.
KDSS works well for its intended purpose of fighting lean in turns while allowing individual corners to absorb hits.
Are you possibly referring to the LX's auto height control?

thanks Markusson. buggy=""issues or glitches".
You could be correct, I thought the auto hight control was part of the KDSS.
maybe I am mistaken.

AHC is separate for sure. KDSS is a high pressure liquid system that help stabilize the truck in turns and over objects, holes, etc.
LC's don't have AHC, which is good, because trying to install after market suspension on an LX is apparently a huge pain, possibly requiring removal of the AHC system, which brings all sorts of questions about how much the LX computer relies on it, etc.
Here's a great video that explains KDSS:

Apparently, they offer AHC as an option in some LC markets. Just not the US. We get ZERO choices.

this video said that the AHC is now standard on the LC. Is that for Europe as I am in USA?

Yes. See post above. We get zero options in the US, and get whatever Toyota says we get. Very different options in different markets including diesels and more.
Indeed Europe get the LC with AHC and KDSS, I think so does Russia and middle eastern countries as well depending on the version.
