    Was driving over a suspension bridge getting resurfaced and cut down to 2 lanes from 4. Doing about 35 mph. All the sudden I heard a pretty loud ding as a rock hit my side window. I glanced to my left to see a worker pressure washing the deck and then I heard the PCS alarm sound off. I looked forward and immediately braked but as I hit the brake I felt the truck was automatically braking already. I have no doubt that if I didn't have the system on I would have plowed into that car. First experience ever like that and I always wondered if it really worked and I can now say it works and it works well. Just for context I have it set to the most sensitive setting and I have the PRO grille on my 19 TRD Sport.

    Had an experience with PCS as well. Worked perfectly!

    It slammed on the brakes a millisecond or so quicker than I was able to.

    it does work well. TW world will shit down both legs when they read this :crapstorm:
    We're all supposed to poo poo tech, be macho and perfect and not admit a nanny feature is in fact helpful. I had a truck (I couldn't see through or around) in front of me rear end the car in front of them, and I needed every split second it gave me to slow down, I could hear and feel the ABS in the rear keeping the bed straight.
