    My D3 is sitting on original air struts and 349,000 km. Only 1 has an issue with a split in the bag, the other 3 are still hanging in there with no signs of problems developing.

    I can 100% guarantee it rides nowhere near like it should…

    Wait until you throw new struts in, you won’t know yourself!

    I'm just about to replace a set of front Dunlops, lasted 50,000km and both airbags are leaking. A bit disappointing.
    original fronts did 210,000 and rears still working great at 260,000km

    Interesting thread.

    I checked with previous owner and also tried to verify that mine still are original ones, at 329k kms now without leaks.

    I compared directly with my wife's Prado Altitude 2012 model (has air suspension too) and the D3 has easier and better ride over local bumps.
