I typically drive easy, my wife gets car sick, so I REALLY try to drive easy when she's in the car.

There's a natural frequency of a typical person's stride.

Generally motion sickness is associated with frequency below 1hz. So I think the target should be to increase the shock damping force to speed up the natural frequency of the system.

You could start with something as simple as increased tire pressure to test.

But then id consider firmer shocks. Lots of options. Either 5100s or 4600 Bilstein are popular. You could start just on the rear and see if that helps enough. It the cheapest place to swap shocks. Fronts probably help more but it's more involved and $ to do.

I'm guessing we're still a no on that flavored Dramamine dispenser on the dash?

Has your partner tried sitting in other spots in the vehicle? Laying the seat further back, more air from the vents? Not looking at their phone?

@Jetboy is on the right track I think, I'm just wondering if you've experimented a bit too see if there's just an ideal spot for them? My mom likes to sit in the back on trips, it helps with her motion sickness if she's not driving or navigating.

Like brand spankin new 0 miles off the dealer lot? or previously used new to you?

I ask that because if the windshield has ever been replaced by a non OEM or very bad generic it could cause headaches. Make sure all the glass is OEM

I’m not surprised by the motion sickness. Its a known thing for passengers of a 4Runner. For one, the car continues to bounce softly even after it has come to a complete stop. Then there is the lean on turns.

This is why I opted for a model with KDSS for the firmer on-road feel with the softer off-road combined. Good luck with this. Passenger motion sickness was my second biggest concern.

Actually, Camry’s in the early to mid 2000’s were also known for this. Not sure what other Toyotas were, but many have complained about their suspensions, which is why I had always opted for Hondas.

Have your alignment and tire pressure checked first. Constant corrections could be the culprit. Check your driving habits.
