    Works much better in the mud with the trac button depressed for 5 seconds. But this truck still feels underpowered when compared to my 2007 and they are basically identical trucks. Toyota has to have put some torque management into the engine management on these trucks.

    Rear springs are already sagged and squeaky with only 3600 miles on it. I thought Toyota would have fixed that issue by now. Passenger seat shakes when on the interstate. Seriously doubt this truck will hold up like me '07.

    If I roll back slightly on a hill the traction control crap starts doing it's dance of lights and sounds. This traction control junk is just that JUNK.

    These are the new wheels, tires were slightly used that went on the new truck. No joke, went to pull out of a steep parking lot, truck rolled back slightly before I pulled out and the traction control stuff started making noise and the light went off on the dash, it had decreased engine power for a second when I hit the gas.

    The passenger seat in my old truck never shook, no matter how much mud was on any part of the truck, not even when there was so much mud on it that the steering wheel was jerking back and forth.
