Without AHC, does LX have e-KDSS?

Title says it all. Because Sequoia articulation is kinda sucky on Youtube videos.

Unfortunately no. Not even the JDM LX600 gets E-KDSS. And JDM usually get more features.
The Japanese market only LX600 does come with front and rear lockers as an option.

The standard non e-kdss suspension has impressive articulation. Have a look here.

Modifications:
Bilstein Prototype B60 Lift Kit (60mm Body Shocks)
Falken 33" Tyres
Dometic CFX60 Fridge Freezer

Here's a 100% stock LC300 without E-KDSS

Unfortunate that KDSS isn't std on non-AHC models. I had assumed it probably was. In fairness to Toyota - the non AHC LX has less ground clearance than the RX350. Not many people are in the market for an SUV with under 8 inches of ground clearance and also concerned about articulation on trails. I'm guessing that's where the GX550 will differentiate from the LX600. Presumably KDSS will still be offered in the new GX and 4Runner going forward. Hopefully it'll be the same system as the LC300 with two front cylinders. Would be nice if it were fully symmetrical.
