    I still like I have said before don't think it would be hard to implement something similar in older trucks since they are drive by wire.

    Who knows.

    No idea whether or not crawl control will be helpful, but that is a poor argument. Just because a task can already be completed doesn't mean technology shouldn't be pushed to make that task easier or more enjoyable.

    No one here has driven with this new tech so we can't say if it's a hit or miss, but saying what we have works good enough would've left mankind in the stone age.

    I only say this here because someone called me stupid last night.... Just to remind you.. Not my stupidity... it's the computers stupidity that links the two....

    So... Just to let people know... If your traction control goes on and you have no clue why... Check the your gas cap... That might be the reason...

    yup its a throtle position, dont believe me .
    Take your TRD 2015 on field. Put on 4L and first gear, make sure it has ATRAC ON and DAC.
    Put a brick on gas pedal and watch it go.
    If you need more speed put two bricks on gas pedal (just like turning knob) :D
    Bricks = Crawl Control

    Oh come on Crawl Control is not completely pointless.
    If you are 4 foot high metro sexual wearing high hills your foot over gas pedal will be bouncing like a stripper on the dollar goign over speed bumps
    Hence Crawl Control. :bikewhoops:

    I think crawl control would be nice to have, however it's for individuals who can't really off road in my opinion. I've got a 6 speed manual and for what I do, I feel confident off roading in it. My brother in law has a 6 speed too, and he sucks. Whoever feels the need to have crawl control, go right ahead. It's your hard earned money.

    Yep, that's 4 people I know personally purchased 2015s. They didn't want the extra electronic gizmos that comes with the 2016s.

    Just a guess, but doubt that the "crawl control" added any where near to the price of an off road as the rear locking differential. Probably more than the go pro mount and the rear locking bed and the leather cover on the steering wheel........
