VSC Saved My Ass Last Night!

Yup on the icey overpasses.
Sorry SmanZ, but I'm laughing, the CMA/MMA de-icer guy, goes home late and your buddies didn't deice your route home. You better slap em

 

Damn...this same overpass bit 14 more people the same evening...

Actually it works wonders on so called "black ice" scenarios. Like when you're fling down the highway and hit a patch, and the back end slides out..... The VSC steps right in, cuts the cruise control off, and even corrects a second time when the back end tries to slide through the first correction... You can even keep the thottle pinned right through it, and the VSC will electronically cut the throttle.
We have lots of snow and ice driving in Manitoba, so I'm accustomed to lots of sliding. The Taco just puts a stop to it instantly. It's eery how good it is. I've purposely gone too fast around icy corners, just to see it put the truck into slo-mo, make the necessary corrections, and voila, it makes the turn. Beeps a whole bunch, which is a little annoying....
