Interesting that they mention it being electronically controlled, though they do show a 4runner so that implementation may be different. No electronics on our landcruiser KDSS, save for the early models that had a pressure sensor.

Yeah, I caught that too. Guessing it was a gaff.

I did a quick google image search for “4runner KDSS valve” and theirs does indeed have a multi-pin harness running into it.

Now I’m curious how the electronic control works and what it achieves. My understanding was in normal use it is set up to automatically work only when needed.. maybe with their actual tilting sway bar setup (vs moving virtual pivots like ours) it is necessary to have the electronics?

That video is interesting in a vague way, but the components aren't accurate for the 200.

Video quality at the following link isn't great, but this video has a better representation of the system on the 200:

Here's another (which may actually be the same as the training video in the above clip, without the instructor voiceover):
