the gl is a tall heavy vehicle equipped with air ride. so some bounce and head toss side-to-side is expected especially over uneven side-to-side pavement.
it will not ride like a car. but it will certainly not ride like as bad as a solid axles jeep as the head toss with those might give you a headache. dont know what else to say.

Your truck has very robust diagnostics and onbowrd troubleshooting tools. If the dealer found nothing there is a good chance there is nothing wrong.
Drive another gl one and see if it rides the same way.

Yes, go drive another GL and if it drives the same then it is your perception and not the car. The GL has air suspension which should feel very different and softer than other SUVs you are used to like the land cruiser you spoke of.

Out Of Control!!
Yes, the GL has a little more body sway than most, but it should not be so bad.
Do you drive with the seat in a very high position?
This increases the feeling.
I think it is just a combination of the size and weight and the relatively compliant suspension.

This is very characteristic of the GL...the air suspension makes the SUV bouncy to eliminate potholes and height differences in the road. The GL also moves slightly up and down at red lights and continuously moves up and down on freeways due to the adaptive AIRMATIC system

I experienced the same seasick sensation at traffic lights, and when parking - it's the air suspension leveling the car and/or bringing it back to the slow speed position (front is up a little). Now that I know what the car is doing, I expect it, and no longer feel the seasick sensation.
