@@pledgeyourallegiance8530 In the city, they do. Refer to my comment. Where I live, the only time you see a tuck actually hauling something or off roading is if it was made before 2000. Anything newer than that is someones baby that they use to haul a couple big macs home.
Not to be a downer and talk shit about the tacoma becuase I love it but my 2000 Bugeye Subaru Impreza base model with just a 2 inch lift can do that....ive done it before at the beach
It's a total gimmic, or it's for people who don't know how to drive offroad.. My truck has it and never use it.. I guess it's a matter of knowing how to drive off road.
Crawl is pretty cool, and it works great. But, I think the main miracle in the sand is keeping the wheel speed low. I have seen some other videos that tested this theory, and they were able to get out of sand, too. That said, Crawl makes it easy for the novice, and I am certainly glad I have it on my 4runner.
NowA NevA Oh you mad mad lol. Bet a Toyota Tacoma is better than your gay Americans shitty engineers v8 engines lmao. Even tho the Tacoma is only a v6 😂😂😂
If you plan on keeping a vehicle for over 10 years the PPF or Paint Protection Film, is very useful. It is the same principle behind car bras, although car bras have many downsides that out way their benefits. PPF will protect against light stone chips , big bugs and anything else than can cut through your clear coat and through the paint to allow rust to dominate in the exposed areas of impact....... It's not a waste if u give a fuck about a vehicle that costs $40,000-$50,000 and you want it to last (visually). I would easily drop an extra $1000 to protect my investment if i planned on keeping it for over a long period of time (8-10 years[or longer]). That way I don't have to paint the bitch as soon, thus saving me money and increasing the value of the vehicle if you so choose to sell it at a later date than the average bear, or if you want to maintain a bitchin ride. PPF is just a fancy clear coat that isnt as durable. but its purpose is there.
You don't need a gimmick like "Crawl Control" to go back downhill after burying it... ANY vehicle will pull dirt back under the tires, just have to use proper throttle control.
bluesti3 Truth. I buried my '98 Tacoma (locked in front/open in rear) to the rear axle and frame in the front (sliders were like a half inch off the ground) being forced to play tug-o-war with a 2nd Gen TRD OR (neither of us moved). Anyway, with proper use of the throttle, I was able to fill in the bottoms of the holes the tires dug out until she climbed right on out...with no fancy Crawl control or even ATRAC. This was on flat ground with no hill for gravity assist. Also, I did the exact same thing as seen in the video with my '96 F250, deliberately getting it stuck on a sand hill (posing for a photo), then with proper throttle control it clawed its way out backwards down the hill...again, no crawl control involved but it looked exactly like this video.
thedriversseat I'd love to, but it's one of those "pics or it didn't happen" scenarios, haha. Didn't get any video of the OGT working it's way out and I only had still images of the F250 being buried on the sand hill.
Come to think of it, I am going on a wheeling trip in mid-october to a place that has some nice soft sand hills. The Odd Green Taco doesn't like sand much since the Swampers go straight for China as soon as the wheels start to spin, so I'll see if I can reproduce what's seen in this video with old-school tech (Lincoln locked front diff and a Detroit locker in the rear)...and get it on video this time. =D
They got to say it to be protected by law, if he didnt and someone tried it that someone can sue toyota if they got hurt because they didnt advuse not to try something potentially hazardous at hone
I drive a ram now and I love it. The power, the towing capability, the room, and comfort. But I used to drive a short wheelbase single cab Tacoma. And I truly believe there is no better mud truck than a Tacoma. Not once could I get that thing stuck. Anyone whose gone mudding in West Virginia's Sanderson knows the type of mud I'm talking about and not once did that truck fail me. I think it's so underpowered that it's a huge advantage in the woods it won't easily dig itself into a pit.
Yeah, sorry, just wasn't convinced it was stuck. All the video showed was backing out, down hill, with crawl control. Need to remake video truly showing the truck stuck. Show trying to get it out in standard 4x4 low, back and forth with no luck, then show how crawl control gets it out. Then I'll be impressed.
What does the average person who spends $35k on a small truck go and do with it? Go to the beach and get stuck Stuck is stuck- no matter where you are If your framed out don't matter if your in the mud pit or at the beach The tow is expensive as hell no matter what So now a bone stock truck with street tires can go to the beach and not worry as much about being stranded out there That's awesome
Devon, you're a joke. It sounds like you're the keyboard warrior. It was a stupid test. Any 4wd could of backed out of that. Staged soft sand on a slight embankment. Why didn't they do the test on level ground or backing up the slight rise...BECAUSE IT CANT FKN DO IT! What about mud? Rocks? My conclusion is, it's not going to make it to the top of the hill.

I don't mean to bad mouth car brands, but I bought a brand new 1985 Toyota 4x4 extra cab pickup, literally off on the show room floor. The main reason I bought the Toyota was from the TV adds showing it forging deep streams and off roading capabilities. I lived in Upland, Ca and the dealer was also located on Foothill blvd in Upland. We had a lot of rain the following winter (3 months after I bought it) and many of the streets had a foot of water running down them. The following spring, we went off roading and it would not stay in 4wheel drive. I took it in under warranty, but they refused to fix it, stating the hubs had water in them. I have never owned a Toyota since then. P:S: That was the only year Toyota 4x4's had auto locking hubs, yet they refused to admit to the flaw.
It probably wouldn't be able get out if that was on flat ground. I think gravity did most of the work. A stick shift toyota from the 80's could do the same thing displayed in this video.
Yes if the driver wouldn't have started spinning the wheels and stopped and dug himself in, yes it would have went up that tiny hill just fine and in 2WD. These are nothing but gimmicks to get stupid people to buy shit they don't need.
Lesson 1: Make sure you line it up just right before getting stuck. Lesson 2: Put it in 2wd first to get "stuck" Lesson 3: Seems novel. (And another thing to break, malfunction and require expensive repairs) I would like to see the driver attempt to rock the vehicle forwards and backwards first, before determining how "stuck" this vehicle really is, and how effective the "Crawl control" feature is. Lesson 4: How applicable is this? Snow/Ice? Mud?
High Up Tours + Transportation Once the weather gets colder and we have the opportunity, we will do this test on Snow, Ice and Mud since many have requested it. We're also planning to shoot a follow-up video with Mike Swears from Toyota Motor Sales USA to address the most popular questions from this video. Thank you. -TheDriversSeat
High Up Tours + Transportation It seems kind of weak because it did prove that he could no longer go forward, but then proceeds to demonstrate the system in reverse, on the downhill side...not sure this system really makes anything possible that you couldn't have done before.
High Up Tours + Transportation I agree with you to a point. This is made for idiot off road users. Same as the people that can't parallel park. Ford has the trailer backup now. To me you are giving people false confidence. This feature has been tested for many years on the Land Cruiser.
Oh my god! That was awesome! I have a 1996 xtra cab and I always go off roading when im in North dakota, as well as in sandiego, ca. I have so much fun with mine, got engine rebuilt, new shocks k&b complete coilover, Gabriel rear shocks, not the best but waaay better than the original stock coil over.
***** lol, u don't know what I have jr, I know u don't have a cts-v like me, or a Camaro like me, 2 Harley's like me & a 101mph jet boat like me, you've been out spent & out classed sonny, lol......
Went down a sandy embankment in my F250 XL Powerstroke 4WD manual transmission with E load range street tires. Went down just fine, charged up the embankment several time trying to get back up, no luck. I low range "crawl controlled" my way back up after trying everything else and got out with minimal fuss. I didn't even touch the throttle... just let the gearing and torque of the diesel do its thing.
+Strigent Odin It doesn't, but think about how many people don't even know what kind of motor their vehicle has. I've met so many people who know absolutely nothing about their vehicle, so when some gimmick comes out their mind is blown and they want that vehicle
In terms of ego and dominance you must downplay the significance of skills/tools you don't have access to in order to maintain the social position of your "old and busted".
ldawson103 but I dont really understand the benefits of disc in the rear, most of the force is applied in the front and from previous experience with a nissan pathfinder it had drum in the back and it outlasted the front ones way more, almost double and now with a 4runner that has discs in the back they are wearing down the same as the front
ldawson103 Well said. I've got an '05 and I've never buried the back end to the axles, and i bet a majority of the owners haven't done the same either so I'd much rather have disks in the back that I will always use the benefits every time I step on the brakes compared to something I'll never see the benefits of.
MatadorCE I did, the engineers at Toyota, re-enforced the idea....oo wait the engineers that designed the dominating class leading tacoma dunno what they are about
Basically he just said we don't want to be sued by morons doing moronic things so we'll use legalese and call the driver a professional (when he obviously isn't)
José Villa I think his point was crawl control is not designed for mud, mud needs fast wheel spin to keep the tread clean and momentum. Once you get stuck in mud you need a winch or a snap strap.
José Villa We're talking about the crawl control mode here, not the entire truck. The truck is designed for off road yes, but the crawl control mode is designed for sand and loose dirt, not mud.
Nothing like good old fashioned wheeling without computer assists, where you actually showed off ur driving skills, didn’t need sumthin to hold ur hand as you were going down a hill or stuck in sand or mud, kind ov like in the old days b4 cell phones we used to be able to remember more than 50 phone numbers, have fun...
Am I? How so? What tid bit of info do you have that proves this point. Or are we to sit here and wonder what you meant? You see HR, this is called a grown up response, versus name calling 3rd grade comments? Well done, you win, you are too smart for me, good luck in 4th grade next year. lol
William Wankoff Try watching rally from early 70's to today. Let me know if you want to throw in a Tacoma. Intelligent all wheel drive capable of transferring 60% of all power to a single wheel..... what ever wheel ISN'T spinning is 40 years old and originated with Audi. Yes Toyota has trucks, no that is not what my comment was about, it's about the fact this tech is nearly half century old. Don't care about the size of tires or trucks.
I could just rock myself out of anything with the clutch in my 03 tacoma. Super light, 4 cylinder, 4x4-2wd, literally everything good in one vehicle. No crawl control, just a small body lift and some tires.
+CheckEngineLightOn They are slowly eliminating the need for an actual human driver. Daytime running lamps>automatic headlights>rain sensing wipers>automatic braking when you come up too close to someone>automatic parallel parking>crawl control. Soon, every aspect will be controlled by the computer and the driver's seat won't have pedals or a steering wheel.
Ok I’ve had my taco now for almost 2 years. Icon Stage 4 with Dakar’s leaf spring. CBI rack RTT 2 dogs 2 humans. Loaded down with weight. Once I️ had to go a very steep hill no matter what I️ did I️ couldn’t go up this hill. (Little pebbles) 9pm very scary for me. Turn on Crawl Control put it in rock mogul. BOOM! Had to leave it on for 20min for about 1.5 miles distance. I️ 100% stand by Crawl Control. Thank you Toyota.
The Tacoma along with the Jeep Wrangler has the highest resale value of any vehicle under 50 grand at approx 54% after five years. Try matching that to any other truck.
We have had a 2013 raptor and have not had any problems. And someone offered me 50,000 and it’s a 2013 you tell me if it’s not a good truck. And just got the 18 and it’s probably the best truck out there at the moment and we are not planning to sell any of them.
So they created this truck not to sell to anyone? There is apparently a market for trucks in this price range or Toyota wouldn't waste their time with it. Wasteful spending and laziness is more of a reason people cannot afford cars like this today.
Is that what I said ... This truck pushes 50k ... Do me a favor and name a truck that isn't shit for under 30k ... This is not afordable to the average working man
Sorry for misinterpreting your complaint. You didn't specify who could not afford cars nowadays in your original post. But I do think the EPA and NHTSA can be the reason people cannot afford cars way before an electronic 4wd aid and fancy wheels.
Joshua Robinson don't know how old you are... there was a day be for useless technology... ie abs airbags stability management and so on .... most of less are gov mandated some are industry mandated because of law suits ... and drive up cost ... I can afford this truck I can actually get two ... this is not the point I'm makeing ... the cheapest car on the market is around 20 stacks ... you will tint those windows so dark not to be seen ...
J Rob haha I work at one of the largest dealerships in Texas. it's non English-speaking customers who buy the high ticket items without crying about the price.
No automated traction control system will be as good on sand or snow as simply airing down your tires for a larger surface area and using less wheel spin. Cool truck but I kinda feel like an older Tacoma on aired down 35's wouldn't even be in that situation in the first place.
A tip for life gravity/physics always win. Even without this "terrain control" you could have got out of this situation. Does anyone else realize that they dug themselves into a hole going uphill, so when you go into reverse your tires will pull the sand back into the hole until you are semi level and then bam you are free.
Anyone that has any experience off road knows this is total bs... They should call it "mall control" just incase you get stuck on one of the parking stops in front of forever21
It's for the soccer mom that accidentally got stuck on a parking barrier she didn't notice because she was too busy running her mouth on her cell phone
did anyone else wonder how he got the front wheels to spin without the back to get it stuck? and i would like to see this in clay mud on flat ground, in the rain, uphill both ways lol. but really i wanna see this put to a harder test
kmac720 The rear right wheel eventually gives the slightest indication of spinning after some time passes. I am thinking about rock crawling. When you do that, your left foot holds down the breaks while your right foot accelerates, so you don't slide backwards. I wonder if that would have this effect if used outside of the context of rock crawling.... Is the guy braking or using his parking brake to achieve this effect?
Cory Ferris its called a differential all trucks have them...and tacoma just got even better off road...it was sitting on the frame rails! if your not impressed its cause you've never really done any off road stuff...and judging by your pic you live in texas or ok and have never seen a hill
I accomplished the exact same thing in a bowl in Buttercup valley south of I8 in California in my 2007 FJ Cruiser 6mt With A-TRAC in low 2nd gear feathring the clutch. I was amazed it worked but it clearly makes CRAWL not as cool as they say.
So drum brakes because they are better off road due to debris? That's weird that every other truck gets it wrong along with all the dirt bike manufacturers with their rear disc brakes.
Michael; you just gotta find the drum plug. Pop that out and let it drain the sand and water out. You'll have brakes again without issue! Just make sure to pump the parking brake a few times to build up drum air pressure again after replacing the plugs!!
I hope the snorkeling gimmick comes out next year! I'm so eager! Can't wait to see this Toyota cross the Nile and Amazon river with no problem! It's gunna be called snorkel control.
It is a good demo in the sand. I am glad I didn’t spend the thousands of dollars extra for that though. For now I’ll bring a shovel! I’d like to see it where there is no option to back up (steep muddy/ rocky trail).
Yeah they would have a new trick called cement control , a onboard cement mixer would drop a controlled mix under each wheel and as it hardened the truck would free itself all the while making the mud hole easy for the next truck.
"so can we agree the truck is stuck"... What is this a magic trick, clearly some bs to get you interested in buying it, even tho no one will ever use the feature
All the ppl driving this 2 miles to pick up groceries cannot wait to use crawl control...
Better than the guy driving his lifted, straight piped, ford f150 20 feet to the mailbox. "hEy GuYs LoOk aT mE!"
Right. But people dont buy trucks too get groceries.

If you want to impress me, use the crawl control to get out of that "stuck" by continuing UP the hill.

That color looks really nice
Listen I seen these flux capacitor's work and the new 2019's are even more exciting to drive.
Lesson 1: Make sure you line it up just right before getting stuck.
Lesson 2: Put it in 2wd first to get "stuck"
Lesson 3: Seems novel. (And another thing to break, malfunction and require expensive repairs) I would like to see the driver attempt to rock the vehicle forwards and backwards first, before determining how "stuck" this vehicle really is, and how effective the "Crawl control" feature is.
Lesson 4: How applicable is this? Snow/Ice? Mud?
High Up Tours + Transportation Once the weather gets colder and we have the opportunity, we will do this test on Snow, Ice and Mud since many have requested it. We're also planning to shoot a follow-up video with Mike Swears from Toyota Motor Sales USA to address the most popular questions from this video. Thank you. -TheDriversSeat
thedriversseat Awesome, nice work in following up guys.
High Up Tours + Transportation It seems kind of weak because it did prove that he could no longer go forward, but then proceeds to demonstrate the system in reverse, on the downhill side...not sure this system really makes anything possible that you couldn't have done before.
High Up Tours + Transportation I agree with you to a point. This is made for idiot off road users. Same as the people that can't parallel park. Ford has the trailer backup now. To me you are giving people false confidence. This feature has been tested for many years on the Land Cruiser.
+High Up Tours + Transportation Look bro we know you drive a Ford just calm down.
Now let's see it crawl UP the slope.

Not with a 2016 Tacoma you haven't. ;)
I remember watching this when it first came out, time flies.
Oh my god! That was awesome! I have a 1996 xtra cab and I always go off roading when im in North dakota, as well as in sandiego, ca. I have so much fun with mine, got engine rebuilt, new shocks k&b complete coilover, Gabriel rear shocks, not the best but waaay better than the original stock coil over.
well of course he got out, truck was on a slant, do that on level ground, lol...
***** go find some real level soft sand & then make a vid to back up your bullshit, until then fuck off.......
***** saying it doesn't make it true, prove it or fuck off..
***** anything I have will kick the shit out of anything u have, money talks & bullshit walks jr, put up or shut up .....
***** lol, u don't know what I have jr, I know u don't have a cts-v like me, or a Camaro like me, 2 Harley's like me & a 101mph jet boat like me, you've been out spent & out classed sonny, lol......
***** don't need a book to know that..
Went down a sandy embankment in my F250 XL Powerstroke 4WD manual transmission with E load range street tires. Went down just fine, charged up the embankment several time trying to get back up, no luck. I low range "crawl controlled" my way back up after trying everything else and got out with minimal fuss. I didn't even touch the throttle... just let the gearing and torque of the diesel do its thing.
it isn't hard to go down a hill. Toyota just made them selves look stupid.
+Strigent Odin its like the chevy commercials, its for people who don't know any better. if i knew nothing about trucks i would be amazed.
Kenneth Barbee
Very true. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to under stand trucks though.
+Strigent Odin It doesn't, but think about how many people don't even know what kind of motor their vehicle has. I've met so many people who know absolutely nothing about their vehicle, so when some gimmick comes out their mind is blown and they want that vehicle
Kenneth Barbee
Thats true. My brother didn't know he had a v6 in his car.
Why all the hate on this vid? Am I missing something?
big c's big brother it’s all the Chevy and ford guys. The Toyota guys left to go take a loan out
In terms of ego and dominance you must downplay the significance of skills/tools you don't have access to in order to maintain the social position of your "old and busted".
Because it's a gimmick.
Where to start...Not a truck guy? This video transcends brand loyalty it's so dumb. Even toyota guys flaming this
That was the dumbest reason for using rear drum brakes ive ever hear.

Drum brakes on the back is call one thing, cost cutting, and nothing else. This guy is full of it pointing out the "benefits" of drum brakes.
ldawson103 but I dont really understand the benefits of disc in the rear, most of the force is applied in the front and from previous experience with a nissan pathfinder it had drum in the back and it outlasted the front ones way more, almost double and now with a 4runner that has discs in the back they are wearing down the same as the front
ldawson103 Well said. I've got an '05 and I've never buried the back end to the axles, and i bet a majority of the owners haven't done the same either so I'd much rather have disks in the back that I will always use the benefits every time I step on the brakes compared to something I'll never see the benefits of.
ldawson103 your an idiot, tray is the lightest part of the truck, front does 80% of braking, unless ur towing as the guy said u dont need them,,
+Narendra Rajcoomar Sure buddy. learn about vehicle dynamics and car handling first before you project your self esteem on someone else
MatadorCE I did, the engineers at Toyota, re-enforced the idea....oo wait the engineers that designed the dominating class leading tacoma dunno what they are about
Just give me front, center and rear diff locker.
+Formulastreet And a low range gearbox.
+BANE does the 2016 Tacoma have a 4 low?
Fake news
+Southern my 06 has 4 low so I'd assume the newer ones do too.
2:48 so basically he just said if a regular joe gets stuck just like this in real life they would have to call a professional.
Basically he just said we don't want to be sued by morons doing moronic things so we'll use legalese and call the driver a professional (when he obviously isn't)
I never seen anything like this before Amazing Truck. Amazing Toyota.
get stuck in a mud pit, then i will be convinced
No electronic helper in a vehicle is going get you unstuck in mud, it's all about having the right tires and the right amount of throttle control.
cory thomas It's not designed for driving in mud...
+Eldrest Argo it's suppose to be and off road truck Mud is not a road
José Villa I think his point was crawl control is not designed for mud, mud needs fast wheel spin to keep the tread clean and momentum. Once you get stuck in mud you need a winch or a snap strap.
José Villa We're talking about the crawl control mode here, not the entire truck. The truck is designed for off road yes, but the crawl control mode is designed for sand and loose dirt, not mud.
Anyone agree it’s easiest to get off of a hill by going back down? I want to see this demonstration on flat ground in sand/mud.
Amazing piece of equipment!
That's is so Amazing!! I thought it was stuck for sure! I am impressed! Wow!! Omg!
Toyota got crawl control, ford got crowd control!
That has to be the most annoying engine sounds
abel lopez Nope Nope Nope Ram
an exhaust makes it great
I would like your comment but it’s at 69 likes
Its v6
It's not the worst. But I do agree I prefer the 4.0L V6
Wooowww man!!! I fall in love with this truck 😍
Nothing like good old fashioned wheeling without computer assists, where you actually showed off ur driving skills, didn’t need sumthin to hold ur hand as you were going down a hill or stuck in sand or mud, kind ov like in the old days b4 cell phones we used to be able to remember more than 50 phone numbers, have fun...
Doesn’t even have enough balls to bury itself in the sand😂
Did you make it to 2:30? I don't think you did cause it clearly buried itself in the sand.....
onlylikenerd it was in Rear wheel drive. It would’ve made it up easily on 4x4
Oh my, they caught up with Audi 70's technology. super impressed. lol
Dont these essentially gave quattro? I know the 4runners do anyways.
T B You are dumb as fuck
Am I? How so? What tid bit of info do you have that proves this point. Or are we to sit here and wonder what you meant? You see HR, this is called a grown up response, versus name calling 3rd grade comments? Well done, you win, you are too smart for me, good luck in 4th grade next year. lol
Da fuck you talkin about Audi has not one care that can fuck with the Tacoma in off-road
William Wankoff Try watching rally from early 70's to today. Let me know if you want to throw in a Tacoma. Intelligent all wheel drive capable of transferring 60% of all power to a single wheel..... what ever wheel ISN'T spinning is 40 years old and originated with Audi. Yes Toyota has trucks, no that is not what my comment was about, it's about the fact this tech is nearly half century old. Don't care about the size of tires or trucks.
Lmfao. @ 4:05 it reminded me of Ricky Bobbie when he wasn’t sure what to do with his hands in the interview 😅
I could just rock myself out of anything with the clutch in my 03 tacoma. Super light, 4 cylinder, 4x4-2wd, literally everything good in one vehicle. No crawl control, just a small body lift and some tires.
Try that on a flat surface. Not when gravity is helping you out.
My Crawl Control = Low Range + Brake
+CheckEngineLightOn They are slowly eliminating the need for an actual human driver. Daytime running lamps>automatic headlights>rain sensing wipers>automatic braking when you come up too close to someone>automatic parallel parking>crawl control. Soon, every aspect will be controlled by the computer and the driver's seat won't have pedals or a steering wheel.
Ok I’ve had my taco now for almost 2 years. Icon Stage 4 with Dakar’s leaf spring. CBI rack RTT 2 dogs 2 humans. Loaded down with weight.
Once I️ had to go a very steep hill no matter what I️ did I️ couldn’t go up this hill. (Little pebbles) 9pm very scary for me.
Turn on Crawl Control put it in rock mogul. BOOM!
Had to leave it on for 20min for about 1.5 miles distance.
I️ 100% stand by Crawl Control. Thank you Toyota.
That is incredible
The Tacoma along with the Jeep Wrangler has the highest resale value of any vehicle under 50 grand at approx 54% after five years. Try matching that to any other truck.
Stang 1023 Ford raptor
Build a better truck and you won't have to resell it.
We have had a 2013 raptor and have not had any problems. And someone offered me 50,000 and it’s a 2013 you tell me if it’s not a good truck. And just got the 18 and it’s probably the best truck out there at the moment and we are not planning to sell any of them.
Try getting a 5 year old f150 for less than 25k without 100k plus jokes on it
Too bad the jeep is a parking lot crawler... and a pile of fiat shit
Okay! now how would it do on a flat surface with the same test????????
That was awesome. Very impressive.
That was awesome. Technology at it's Best.
the reason why cars are unaffordable nowadays
So they created this truck not to sell to anyone? There is apparently a market for trucks in this price range or Toyota wouldn't waste their time with it. Wasteful spending and laziness is more of a reason people cannot afford cars like this today.
Is that what I said ... This truck pushes 50k ... Do me a favor and name a truck that isn't shit for under 30k ... This is not afordable to the average working man
Sorry for misinterpreting your complaint. You didn't specify who could not afford cars nowadays in your original post. But I do think the EPA and NHTSA can be the reason people cannot afford cars way before an electronic 4wd aid and fancy wheels.
Joshua Robinson don't know how old you are... there was a day be for useless technology... ie abs airbags stability management and so on .... most of less are gov mandated some are industry mandated because of law suits ... and drive up cost ... I can afford this truck I can actually get two ... this is not the point I'm makeing ... the cheapest car on the market is around 20 stacks ... you will tint those windows so dark not to be seen ...
J Rob haha I work at one of the largest dealerships in Texas. it's non English-speaking customers who buy the high ticket items without crying about the price.
No automated traction control system will be as good on sand or snow as simply airing down your tires for a larger surface area and using less wheel spin. Cool truck but I kinda feel like an older Tacoma on aired down 35's wouldn't even be in that situation in the first place.
I love my taco
Good feature! Analog to digital traction control!? Nice that you can change the speed that it works.
it's cheaper to buy a shovel. i'm also surprised it didn't fall over.
I wonder what happens on flat ground where gravity doesn’t assist?
It works, you can see it in other videos
A tip for life gravity/physics always win. Even without this "terrain control" you could have got out of this situation. Does anyone else realize that they dug themselves into a hole going uphill, so when you go into reverse your tires will pull the sand back into the hole until you are semi level and then bam you are free.
That was pretty impressive... 👏👏👏👏
2:50 "this is something you dont want to try at home." Why would I drop 40k on a Tacoma to NOT use this feature? I have one btw... and I love it.
Anyone that has any experience off road knows this is total bs... They should call it "mall control" just incase you get stuck on one of the parking stops in front of forever21
It's for the soccer mom that accidentally got stuck on a parking barrier she didn't notice because she was too busy running her mouth on her cell phone
That’s funny 😆
Toyota are #1 hands down. I love yota's
I’m not a Toyota guy but this was kinda cool. I know gravity helped a lot, but the crawl mode seemed to help a bit.
did anyone else wonder how he got the front wheels to spin without the back to get it stuck? and i would like to see this in clay mud on flat ground, in the rain, uphill both ways lol. but really i wanna see this put to a harder test
it is possible that the drivers rear tire was spinning due to the fact it may not have a rear locking differential or a lsd diff.
This truck has either lsd or something because they explain it sends power to wheels that it wants. Usually that's lsd or breaks acting individually.
kmac720 The rear right wheel eventually gives the slightest indication of spinning after some time passes. I am thinking about rock crawling. When you do that, your left foot holds down the breaks while your right foot accelerates, so you don't slide backwards. I wonder if that would have this effect if used outside of the context of rock crawling.... Is the guy braking or using his parking brake to achieve this effect?
Agreed, nice catch.
Cory Ferris its called a differential all trucks have them...and tacoma just got even better off road...it was sitting on the frame rails! if your not impressed its cause you've never really done any off road stuff...and judging by your pic you live in texas or ok and have never seen a hill
Can someone with sense make an improved demonstration of the crawl system.
I accomplished the exact same thing in a bowl in Buttercup valley south of I8 in California in my 2007 FJ Cruiser 6mt With A-TRAC in low 2nd gear feathring the clutch. I was amazed it worked but it clearly makes CRAWL not as cool as they say.
How in the world!?!?!!? Nice demo guys.
So drum brakes because they are better off road due to debris? That's weird that every other truck gets it wrong along with all the dirt bike manufacturers with their rear disc brakes.
good luck on getting to change pads after your disc brake got sand or stuff in it :)
Nailed it. Great comment
James Newman In the rear. Most of the braking is done in the front. Tray has barely any weight as well compared to the front end.
+THEGMT Same thing happens with drums, they aren't sealed.
FCFordLord well at lest they are 75% sealed compared to the disc one :P
"Can we all agree the truck is stuck?"
No.
It's not stuck until you can't back out of it or rock it out. He didn't even try that.
That seriously was incredible.
Letting the air pressure out of the tires is also highly recommended when transversing large areas of sand.
If this is "stuck" to someone please stay in the city and drive cars and taxis this is playing in a sandbox
Well said!!!
Yeah. It's not even close to stuck.
I dont really see any issues with drum brakes as long as it stops I'm good.
Sand or water gets inside, its never coming and out or braking again until you open it up
@@connivingkhajiit you are a completley idiot coming from a mechanic
Michael; you just gotta find the drum plug. Pop that out and let it drain the sand and water out. You'll have brakes again without issue! Just make sure to pump the parking brake a few times to build up drum air pressure again after replacing the plugs!!
@@lawrenceshdow thank you
@@lawrenceshdow forgive me. Im an EE not a mechanic.
Never seen sand look so sick like rocks
best of luck to you guys with that, that is an awesome thing. do u need lockers or slip diffs? or just a 4x4 so it can spin all the wheels with it ?
Im a big tacoma fan but this is a gimmick.
I'm kind of with you there. This seems like one of those things that could be done by anyone with maybe a locker and proper throttle control.
I hope the snorkeling gimmick comes out next year! I'm so eager! Can't wait to see this Toyota cross the Nile and Amazon river with no problem! It's gunna be called snorkel control.
So drum breaks in the front also?
I’m sure sand and debris got in there as well 😂
It is a good demo in the sand. I am glad I didn’t spend the thousands of dollars extra for that though. For now I’ll bring a shovel! I’d like to see it where there is no option to back up (steep muddy/ rocky trail).
crawl crontrol! my Tacoma has shovel control .fucking 4 wheel drive and a shovel in case I get stuck!

The truck couldn’t even spin the tires in 4high in Sand lol
Because he was under like 2k rpm dude. That’s the dumbest comment I’ve read in awhile
“Crawl control”
Diff lock
Caliber will fill with sand but a drum break won’t? It’s literally a bowl.
once again impressed
Dang, that's pretty cool!!
Try that in axle-deep mud and see if he "drives out"...
Yeah they would have a new trick called cement control , a onboard cement mixer would drop a controlled mix under each wheel and as it hardened the truck would free itself all the while making the mud hole easy for the next truck.
"so can we agree the truck is stuck"... What is this a magic trick, clearly some bs to get you interested in buying it, even tho no one will ever use the feature
nice video that was awesome more videos please thanks
Wish I had crawl control this morning lol
Wow why would anyone buy that. They are getting unstuck by going down hill. It barely had enough power to get it barely stuck anyway.
