    Early this morning I was able to witness a 4 door F150 2.7L with the tow button feature in action where the truck did all steering input

    As we were getting all our race cars on the trucks, watched in amazement how new technology worked for the driver

    Do we see any kind of auto tow assist like that upcoming in Tacoma or tundra?

    Trucks are such a hot market that usually companies copy each other

    Any rumors out there if it's coming on toyotas ?

    probably too hard to do with the engine surging issues many people experience.

    Interesting, didn't think about that. I was thinking with throttle by wire, it would be easy modulation, but what you say makes sense.

    Appreciate it.

    But the 2014 was just cosmetic refresh, not a redesign, right?

    I really don't want to keep my PRO for another 4 years .

    UGH :(

    Love the Tundra PRO. But my next truck has to be useful to my lifestyle.

    Tunda
    5.7L
    4wd
    Double Cab
    8 Feet bed

    Those are my requirements.

    I LOVE the rear seat of the crew max. However, the Double Cab has enough space for me at the rear. For me the 5ft bed is no go, need the 8 feet.

    Mine will be RED :)

    I am not saying it is for everyone, or every one needs it.

    I used to drive a Toyota with 3 on the tree shifter. I have had roll up windows most of my life, AT windows are nice to have at times.

    I am not saying its NEEDED or REQUIRED.

    I just saw it in action, and it was amazingly quick and helpful.

    I am sure I would be fine in a 73 International Scout, and don't need a modern Toyota Tacoma either, Bill ;)

    thank you. Just making a statement that I have not need for something that is going to add cost with no benefit. To me this is like LED DTRLs. Not sure what real purpose they serve other than adding cost. Of auto manufacturers like added revenue.

    I test drove a trd off road tundra crewmax and would have bought it over the 4Runner, but I wish they gave you the option for color matched! You're right, tame the chrome!!!
