    I see that Toyota’s safety features now include Lane Tracing Assist , Steering Assist and Road Edge Detection.

    Does anyone know why TSS on the Tacoma, 4runner, Tundra and Landcruiser don’t offer this? Lane Alert is the only thing we have.

    The components for those other features are not installed on the vehicles probably because money or maybe hard to integrate with ride height.

    And I think I just answered my own question. The aforementioned cars don’t have electric steering !

    My wife's Subaru has the lane keeping thing. We're not missing much. All it does is gently nudge you back into the lane, but it has limits on how much it can push back, and those limits are pretty weak, IMO. Good for slight veering on long straight stretches of road but anything more than that and the system can't muster up the strength to push you back.

    Probably because these are off road and work vehicles.

    Thank God! I hate those things!

    If I needed that much help to drive I'm talking the bus!

    I hate those things on my wife's Honda!

    That’s because Honda doesn’t have an effective version of it. Actually using one on a Tesla or XC90 may change your mind.
