Drove a 2011 6spd. tonight. May have been a bad idea for the checking account...

Absolutly loved the truck. Magnetic Grey TRD off road. I have been a first Gen guy as I have owned 2 of those but may need to move up. I was amazed at how many advances they have now.

Do have one question. There looked to be about 3 different traction assists. Can someone elaborate on these and the specific functions of each.

 

THey are all explained in the owners manual. If you do a quick search you will find some threads that explain them a lot easier to understand.

 

I'd like to test drive a new one just so I can see if they did something about the dumbass reactions of the electronic throttle control. They don't mesh well with a manual transmission on my 2007.

 

Here is chart I threw together that helps to explain the various settings.



However, this is really just more of a visual representation of what David K has explained in his thread.

 

6-speed > automatic

 

Thanks for the link. That explained a lot. Also I agree, not sure if I could own an auto again.
