Backing up with bike rack in the hitch

The most humbling part of my starting to retire from a position I never thought I'd achieve. Advanced tech certifications, graduating from one of the public ivies and parenting were not as hard as getting better with cognitive biases and humility.

 

So just to wrap this thread up, if you have a premium package and/or the towing tech package that includes the Parking Support Brake “PKSB” feature, you’ll need to disable it if using a bike rack, or anything else that doesn’t use a 7-pin connector. If plugging into the 7-pin, it will be automatically disabled, ie, pulling a boat or camper, etc. Once it’s manually disabled in the MID, it will remain disabled until re-enabled by the driver; it will remain off even when the vehicle is shit off and restarted.

 

Why this wasn't included in the Tacoma is mind blowing. Tundra has it

 

That’s what I expected to find and would be much better than going into the MID menu each time. Oh well.

 

That is what I expected prior to actual ownership because our German car has the instant bypass button, but I also did so much comparison shopping to know no one but Toyota made so much of what I was looking for - long bed TRD OR.
