TL ride too rough
I live in North; where potholes and seams are common on the roads. How can I make my TL'05 more smooth and "floating"; like a Toyota Avalon or Ford Grand Vic? Maybe aftermarket shock absorbers?

I don't think the car was designed to "float", rather to have a more connected feel. I think a big part of the soft ride on those other cars you mentioned are the higher profile tires. I suppose you could always get a smaller size wheel, and a higher profile tire.

Wow! Maybe trade it for an Avalon or Crown Vic? Old Buicks have an awesome ride, too!

That would always be my suggestion, but they don't make the Pilot Exalto A/S in 245/45-17. I have these on the daughter's Maxima (H rated) and our 2008 knock around car (V rated), and they're a great all around and will afford many miles, but I'm certain that there are other tires that are "soft", just got to take a look.

I get the concept of "sport-tuned suspension". But in my case, it is annoying, and down right uncomfortable at times. Maybe it's my Yokohama tires. I can't imagine anyone having "fun" driving in such condition.

However if you want to get as soft as a ride you can you can do the following things:
Get 16" wheels which will allow for a larger sidewall for the car so it's a bit more comfortable.
Look for grand Touring Tires

tires can make a huge difference in ride comfort. If you want something with a VERY soft sidewall, take a look at the Continental DWS tires!
