    I'm getting really sick of the "driving aids" in my 2012 TRD Sport. Either I don't understand new technology, or this truck is just a fun ruiner.

    Snowy parking lot, will it even do a damn donut? Left it in 2wd, wouldn't do it. Hit the LSD button, still wouldn't do it. As soon as the traction control light flashes the gas pedal turns off (@$"?in drive by wire) and the abs starts grinding away without even touching the brakes! Isn't the button suppose to be LSD on and Traction Control off? Like a hoon around mode?

    What do I have to do to be able to drive my damn truck myself!?!?

    To hopefully avoid some pre-flame, I've built 2 big XJ's and built a stripped and caged 240sx with a welded diff... I know how to drive, I'm not reckless.

    RSCA ?

    That's not a traction aid , that turns off the Roll Sensing Curtain Airbags

    Yeah...here in Florida the property owner has to have a traffic agreement on file authorizing the sheriff or PD to enforce traffic on any private property...even a gated community. Most don't have one and the officers are none the wiser so the ticket will get tossed. Kinda sucks for the LEOs trying to do their job and keep everyone safe...

    Hopefully traction aides and not like Magic Johnson AIDs. Cause I don't think you can just turn off Magic Johnson AIDs...
