So my wife just got a new to her Infiniti QX56. I've have towed with our Expedition previously. It has a lot more balls than the ford did, but the auto leveling makes it ride like poo when my equipment trailer is attached. Any suggestions?

Use a different tow vehicle? Sorry I had to... Too simple of a solution, I know. (Or keep the expedition for yourself?) Maybe ditch the auto leveling and convert to standard suspension?

That's not going to work out. Sold the Expy since we bought a car I could tow with. She wanted to keep a full size and I can't justify having a separate tow vehicle. I have not put a car on the trailer yet, so I don't know how it will do heavy. Just pulled a pallet of pavers. Maybe 4k total. It pulls like crazy, just have to figure out the suspension. Thinking to maybe unplug the compressor before I hook up the trailer, or pull the fuse. It just depends if it leaks down or not. At least it would keep it from going up. I have a WD hitch that I can use to help with the tongue weight.

There has to be someone that tows with a suburban or tahoe that has auto air ride. Curious if they have to do anything.
 
Bought the wife a 08 Range Rover l322 that has auto air. Had it for over a year now and like the suspension when I hook a trailer up. Perhaps the Brits figured something out....they sure screwed the pooch on other things lol. When it comes to air on domestics I have no idea
 
So what exactly does the auto leveling do while the trailer is hooked and loaded that is undesirable? Did it try to adjust constantly as the tongue weight changed over bumps or something?

It levels it, no matter what. It makes it too firm and bounces really bad. When you hook up, you hear it pump and level the back. It sounds great, in theory, but it rides like a brick sh$t house.
