Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

I mean if you want to blow your truck up go for it. Full send, no ragerts

 

Damn it! Had a wreck today in my Tacoma! Not sure if it's totaled or repairable. Slid of ice into light pole. Driver's side airbags went off and it looks like it's Tboned. Missed taking pictures, had it towed for now!

 

As long as you don't require repair........

 

Yup! I am hoping it hit hard enough to bend the frame so they total it! Don't think it will ever drive the same if they ended up fixing it! Let's see what they do! But I miss it already!

 

Dang man... You okay?

 

Left side is a little bruised coz that's where the taco took the hit! Shattered ego, but otherwise OK! I wasn't going too fast, but the taco took out the light pole in the median clean! Thankfully didn't hit anyone else! Dogs seem OK too!

 

Glad to hear you're alright. Sorry about the truck

You've had enough repair to cover this whole thread

 

sadly that sounds totaled man... the positive thing is you are good. a truck is replaceable

 

If you buy it back and decide to, um, like, part it out... y'know...

 

Of course! Filed claim already. Let's see what they do. May ask you guys for help navigating the process. First wreck!

I know it's my fault, but honestly it wasn't that great in the snow. I was driving my Gx460 before the wreck and now driving the landcruiser. Both are so much better on the snow!

 

never really had issues with the tacoma in snow as long as all the traction stuff is turned off... with it on i never liked how it handles

 

It almost killed me twice in the default mode. Whatever the alternate mode does works better for me.

 

Had it in 4wd. Juts slid on its own! Of course got cited for driving too fast for the conditions because policemen said no one else is slipping!

I told him that's coz I was the first here and now that they seen me, everyone is being extra careful! No cigar!

 

you mean clicking the button to turn one thing off and then holding it so it shuts more stuff off ya? because thats also what i do.

 

*ranting in luddite*

 

well aint that lovely... 4wd wont turn off the other stuffs but ive also never messed with a 3rd gen so i wouldnt know if its exactly the same or what other stuff it has.

 

So this varies pretty wildly across years and trims, but I'm 99.9% certain this is how it for my 2015 base model:

0 clicks (default on startup) = automatic throttle reduction and abs activation when traction is lost
1 click = only abs activation when traction is lost
click and hold = all off until you hit a certain mph, then you get some of the high speed stuff back


I was trying to cross 291 in Liberty both times in the snow and lost traction. Nanny system dropped my throttle down to regain traction leaving me in prime position to almost be t-boned.

 

i mean that sounds about right with all the 2nd gens tbh both my 13 offroad and my 15 sr5 do stuff like that idk about getting anything back in speed since the only thing i notice is abs

but i usually have the click and hold option on my trucks. i still feel abs

 

It's not a performance button or anything, but 1 click should remove the throttle control part of the TRAC system since you and I have the same year. If you hear ABS at anything over 20-ish MPH that's the high-speed sway control or something.

The naming scheme for these systems is ridiculous. I have no idea what anything is called anymore.

 

i just call it the more fun button lol and ya know the not gonna lock the stupid brakes up and steering wheel up when i enter a slide! idk if the 15s are better but my 13 if i forgot to turn it off and slid the brakes would freak out and sooorta lock up and my steering would lock up...
