16 Tacoma in snow. Up and down hill crawl

Hello folks. As some may know, I live in Kodiak Alaska. I wanted to make a couple clips of me going up and down 'pillar' and see how the truck faired in the ice and snow. I am quite happy. I was nervous at some points but we made it up and down with no issues!

Beautiful photos! I hope to travel to AK one day.

Cheers!

 

Nice, thanks for the video! What would you say was the steepest grade you were on here, 10%?

 

How hard of a time do you think you would have had without crawl control?

 

What tires?

What did you run in on the flat roads, 4HI?

 

Crawl control in snow. Thank you for the test.

This actually made me curious how the crawl control would work if the gears were changed if it makes a difference at all.

 

Stock tires - hard. With good winter tires that kind of hill is doable at 10x the speed in a RWD coupe.

 

Wasn't to bad. The back wanted to slide out at times, got nervous getting close to the drop offs. I think more weight in the rear and better tires would make it effortless.

The stock tires. flat roads I put it in 4hi. this route up the mountain I kept it in 4lo to see how well the terrain select worked.

 

I can do it without crawl. What I liked about the system is that when it felt the tail kick out, it would correct it quickly. With my foot I could feel it kick out and would just left off the pedal and steer into it to straighten it out.

 

Dude thanks for posting this !
