Rough ride
Recently bought a 99 ML430. For the most part I love the vehicle, but it seems to ride a bit rough. I can feel all the bumps and thumps! Is this normal? I came from a Lexus sedan, so not sure what to expect! Thanks!

First check you tire pressures, however, the ML will definitely ride a bit stiffer compared to a Lexus! 
Maybe you should go back and buy a Lexus RX300? :p

It also depends on the type of tire. Is it a City/Highway or a All-Terrain or a Off-Road type tire?

yeah...it is actually a truck, and aint no truck gonna ride like a lexus ls400/430...unlike the x5 or the rx300, which if i remembered correctly, is just a raised car, based on the camry platform also...
