I have a 2024 Tahoe Premier 4wd with 20-inch factory wheels and MRC.

The ride is excellent. I’m sold on the MRC.

Does the air ride add anything for the suspension smoothness or is that all MRC?

I know air ride helps with lowering the car for different modes, but is it 50/50 MRC and air ride....80/20, 70/30....?

Maybe you or someone else can answer.

I like the idea of lowering the car a bit, if/when needed, but if it doesn't help with suspension smoothness, I can also look at tahoe's with MRC only.

I do not know if the air ride adds anything for the suspension.

I have been driving and owning vehicles for 50+ years. My last one was a 2015 Expedition Limited 4wd, purchased new. I have owned numerous Corvettes, beginning with my first one - a 1965 convertible (none had the MRC). The Tahoe ride and control is no comparison to the Expedition (with standard suspension).

The MRC system is remarkable on a large, heavy vehicle. I am very impressed and even my wife commented on how smooth and comfortable the new Tahoe with MRC is.

Air springs ride different. Some people seem to like them. I like the ride more firm and connected. I don't like the floating and bouncy feeling they provide. I have an SUV with air and hate that about it, but we use it for ride height adjustment and it doesn't bother primary driver. Test drove the Yukon with and without and it has the same issue. So no air for me in the Yukon.
