Wanted to know how different is the suspension on a Yukon vs a Escalade? I been driving my 07 Yukon more often and it feels so much more stiff. On my 09 Escalade it feels a lot more smoother is there anything I could do to change that?

Autoride is a feature that provides superior vehicle ride and handling under a variety of passenger and loading conditions.
The system is fully automatic and uses a computer controller to continuously monitor vehicle speed, wheel to body position, lift/dive and steering position of the vehicle. The controller then sends signals to each shock absorber to independently adjust the damping level to provide the optimum vehicle ride.
Autoride also interacts with the tow/haul switch that, when engaged, will provide additional control of the shock absorbers. This additional control results in better ride and handling characteristics when the vehicle is loaded or towing a trailer.
