2018 pre-collision disable?

Toyota and Subaru are joined at the hip and share technology frequently. We have a 18 TRD Pro and a 14 Forester and many of the parts are from the same companies.

 

Last week I drove the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands and left all the TSS on. It never activated even heading straight for a rock. That being said, I didn't have cruise control on, but lane departure. I guess there aren't any lane stripes on that trail. I drove the 700 miles from Salt Lake to Albuquerque, including about 50 miles off-road, on freeways at 80+ mph, two lane roads at 45-65, parkways in town, etc. No problems encountered and with all the asshole drivers you get in any city.

 

Correct, although lane departure does, but can be turned off by a button on the steering wheel.

 

I believe that is required on TW.

 

When I picked up my 18 TRD Pro at Karl Malone in UT, the sales guy took me out on I-15 and we tried out all the TSS gear. Worked fine, even coming up on someone going about 85 mph. As I noted elsewhere here I drove it back to Albuquerque 700 miles with no incidents or problems. Again, just my experience.

 

I got that warning when off-roading in Canyonlands last week. It was very dusty. I just turned it off.

 

This isn't true. Automatic braking works regardless of cruise control settings based on conditions deeming it to go off.

 

You're right, sorry.

 

Yeah and i am not gonna do the pro grille either, too many already have it. Also not doing the pro 4runner wheels anymore either lol

 

This is correct mine definitely went off with no cruise control.

 

Haven't made any mods to the truck other than headlight bulbs. Hope they can sort it out.

Incidentally, this 18 OR is replacing a 2005 4runner I've put 195k miles on. I bought the 4runner based on reliability ratings, and never even considered getting an extended warranty. Never needed it. Oil, brakes, tires.

On the Taco, I went for the 7 year 70k mile Toyota warranty. ($1100) Only for the fact that they've crammed so much (new) technology into these things. I don't trust it.

 

That’s all well and good except I don’t want to have to remember to shut something off on a truck I paid 40k for.

 

It seems more often than not, 17 owners are complaining more about TSS than 18 owners lol.

 

I complain about it because I've driven other vehicles with it and hated it. That is the main reason I have a 17 instead of an 18. 18s were out when I bought my truck but I looked for a 17. If 18 owners like it that’s fine and I hope all of you really enjoy your rides!! For myself I’m still trying to get used to all the crap on my 17 compared to my 08. I’m love my 17 but I do miss actually being able to drive my 08, if that makes sense.

 

You better start embracing it because there is alot more of it coming down the pipe. You can either accept it or ride a bicycle.

 

Exactly. Toyota sales are through the roof from 17 to 18. It's what buyers want. I wasn't about to buy a new truck without.

 

I purposely waited for the '18 before I bought.

 

i purposely bought mine in Nov last year to avoid TSS. Wish it was optional.

 

Yeah I know. Maybe in another 10 years or so when I trade this one in....

 

Super annoyed! Drove this truck 200 miles and it’s already broke! Idk how or if cruise control is connected with the PCS but I can’t cruise. I’ll set it at 70, then it speeds up to 85 like pedal to the metal, then slams on brakes down to 45 and repeats. Doesn’t matter if anyone is in front of me or not. Really hope they can fix it and it’s not a lemon. Already debaged, color keyed rear bumper, ordered leather seats, pro grill, pro rims and trail grapplers.
