Hidden Tacoma feature

*Disclaimer: I am OCD/Anal*

My wife often takes advantage of a little known feature of our Tacomas called "Curb Assisted Steering". Basically, she will use whatever curb is near her to make left/right turns. I cringe and cuss internally when I ride with her. She happily works the ass of our truck like a hooker absent coin. Aside from effing the tires up and driving like a female, should I be worried about damage to the rear end, frame or suspension?

She also has a tendancy to bounce the doors/push against them when entering/exiting, but thats another rant....

 

then why let her drive?

 

so what you're asking is will smashing into curbs damage a vehicle? hmmm... i think we better get an expert in on this one

 

WTF

 

Won't hurt a thing!!!!!,

 

I'd get a new wife

 

Agreed. Trade her in for a newer model.

 

I think you need to call the Jimmyh hotline on this one. . .

 

this.



no OP it wont mess anything up. well other than maybe some curb rash on the wheel or something. I know i have done it a few times as well i don’t think twice about it.

 

That shit is funny ...

 

Because its "our" truck. I drive most of the time when we're together, mainly because her driving infuriates me. She didn't like the way I drive either, but I can at least negotiate a Dunkin donuts drive through without polishing the sidewalls of the tires or giving us side whiplash.

 

F that shlt. Why would you let your wife abuse your Tacoma that way. Does she beat the kids, the dog or you too?

You must be fairly young. Stop the madness now before she gets used to it. The longer you let this continue the harder it is to stop.

Wear your testicles on the outside and take those keys away from her!

 

This in 2nd gen... Really?

Oh yeah, I forgot, everything goes in 2nd gen!

 

Says the recent convert

 

We drive a second Gen. I've not rode in a first Gen with the wife, so I can't speak to whether they also have a C.A.S.

 

The pimphand is weak with this one

 

Have her change the tire when she rips a hole in the sidewall. Then pay for the new tire out of her own account.

 

My wife drives like an ass, she is a complete hot mess

She has her own car and only droves the taco if absolutely necessary

 

What was she doing out of the kitchen?

 

If she is 40, Federal law says you can trade her in on two 20 year olds.
