You can turn off traction control....

@@brianandremcfadden3645 Uh no, you need to read the manual. You hold the button until it all shuts off. Acts like a normal old school vehicle then

I did some mild wheeling in my Frontier a few months back in Montana. Up in the mountains I came through a pretty average mud rut, maybe 1 or 2ft deep. Something I should have just sailed through with a little bit of extra gas. I couldn't believe it when I sunk into it and my RPM just dropped to the floor as I applied throttle, and got none of the wheel spin I wanted. I thought my engine had died, I looked at the tach and saw it was still running. Reached down and turned off the traction control ("VDC" in Nissan speak), hit the throttle and was right out of it. This was my first time wheeling a vehicle with any sort of electronic throttle traction aid. I couldn't believe how counter productive it was. I LOST traction thanks to that feature.

true.

Yeah he always lets them keep their pride

LOL, because he knows we will say everything he is thinking.

Yup, always classy! On the upside, I'm sure the younger-driver learned a few valuable lessons.

Pride cometh before a "stuck", lol

a lesson my dad taught me. always let the other person save face

Tacoma is the same way. 4 high and pop it in neutral and hold the traction control. He would have driven out of there with ease.

Not true. It still cuts power, it just lets you spin a little longer before it makes the cut.

WildBoer.... I drive a 15 Tacoma in the dunes All the time.... you must be doing something wrong.

@@runnerdude1990 I've tried disabling traction control probably 50 different ways, if you get the wheels speed too high it throttle cuts. Maybe it's better in 4wd low or something, but if you're trying to fuck around in snow in 2wd you are going to hit a wheel speed where it cuts your throttle mid donut.

That’s it! You have to be in 4 wheel drive. See my original comment.

They've ran off once before. I'm not sure when it was but it just recently I watched the video. They fount them pretty quick but it was a lengthy dark recovery and the dogs just wandered off. It might been the trailer falling off video? Can't remember for the life of me

Why is that a problem? Better than getting sand in your shoes. Not everyone wears boots. He may of had shoes on and after he was stuck and digging he may of gotten sand in them and had his flip flops on standby. Dont judge a man by a 14 minute video

Nah I would have just taken some socks

Best thing to wear in sand, actually we usually go barefoot here specially in the deep stuff.

@UCf3LjYjFXdNfGVLPZX-FGOg he had his jack under the truck I assumed he got on his hands and knees to put it there. The guy was probably out there for quite awhile by himself he may of taken them off during that time. Who knows

With dads new pickuo

I agree. At least he USES his truck for what it was designed for. I can't stand the bed polishing, front drive shaft deleting, sky jacked for impressing, "I don't want to scratch my truck" numbnuts.

Agreed just would have been good if he knew how to disable the comp control first probably wouldn't have got stuck.. all it takes is some throttle blip's and your fked doesn't even need to be in sand could be at the bottom of a creek bed or a gully and if your throttle isnt behaving your buggered. done it on ATV's and UTV's also. when the Yammy 1000 UTV come out so many people had issues in creek beds with that transmission very similar type issues. my truck does crap like that and i cant even disable it yet my old TJ never gives me shit it cant .

That’s because Toyota still can’t figure out how to make a bumper that doesn’t rot away in 3 years

@Kris Richards Also a mechanic. It’s unbelievable what unreliable garbage is being built today. Specialty tools for everything is becoming the norm. Redundant systems are being phased out. There’s basically no such thing as limping your vehicle home. One hiccup and you’re in a parking lot with a no start because some idiot engineer thought it would be better to save the starter by disabling cranking even though the battery has plenty of jam to get the engine going. But oh no, the starter might get damaged at 10 volts. Meanwhile it has 400CCA left. It’s like vehicles are built around the recovery industry.

@@ThatGuy-sd3zl that is the reason I absolutely love my 2000 sierra, everything is so easy to work on, dont have to bring it somewhere or have a specialty tool or anything, anything I dont know about, youtube helps lol

MORE LIKE ASTOUNDED... Even today TRUCKS still have steel bumpers.... well....except Toyota lol ........... you look at 2:41 and it sure looks like chromed metal truck bumper.....

Yep, the issue was traction control for sure.

Yep. Toyota: stop, hold the traction button for about 5 seconds. You have to be completely stopped and you have to hold it till all the lights on the dash let you know you turned everything off.

Jonathan Anderson Even in that mode the nannies still take over. I have a 2019 Off Road. The nannies are NEVER completely off, there’s absolutely no way to turn it off....period. The mode you described will shut the nannies down most of the way but if you get any kind of excessive wheel spin it’ll kick right back in and cut power. I read that people were destroying rear diffs left and right so Toyota implemented this to stop that. Unfortunately it makes the truck unusable in sand like in the video, it is otherwise a very solid truck even in some moderate/heavy off roading.

Lsd will still kick on even with traction control off

The newer Toyota's still are partially activated. There is no way to completely turn off traction control in Toyota's anymore.

dudes out here in flip flops and shorts he doesn't give a shit lmao

It's not being negative to think someone should have basic recovery gear and a clue how to operate their vehicle in the conditions they will be driving in. Hopefully he learned something from the experience but 10 or 15 minutes of research would've given him an idea of what to have or how to so it.

Aren’t you supposed to use an old beater truck for off roading?

@@user-tb7rn1il3q I use a 2016 F150 but I obviously pick my routes and lines carefully

@@user-tb7rn1il3q it's an old beater now for sure.

A little bit of digging before the pull would have helped on that and it was quite obvious that the guy had no idea what he was doing. I'd almost be willing g to bet his tires were at road pressure instead of the 18-20 psi they should have been.

They see it done on TV and internet videos, so "it must work".

Very true, it is irritating though, the reason dude probably got stuck in the first place was that issue matt ran into, the truck was in drive and the computer took over

@Brian Landers yeah, pickups are made to go offroad also and some are built with all the stuff to let them do that...

​@Brian Landers Matts jeep is more capable then a Polaris the way its set up, but your right some 4wds are designed with street use as the main focus.

idk if thats really what happened here, what I do think happened is he tried to get up that dune which was never going to happen and maybe the driver knew that but he expected to at least be able to reverse back down but the receiver hitch wedged into a rock that was under the sand and at that point he was screwed.

Matt didn’t say that, the cameraman did.

It's just gotta meet the crash test requirements. I think the whole bed is composite on these. As long as you don't get yourself stuck off road with no real recovery points trying to do something that is far beyond the capabilities of your stock vehicle the bed and bumper will never rust and they are lighter than steel. Perfect for 99.9% of buyers.

I just bought a 2020 Ram 4500 and the metal on the bumpers was so thin. I had them changed to off road bumpers before I would even take it off the lot. Sad just sad.

thats why I bought an 03 tacoma halfway builtup and sank another 15k into the engine and offroad equipment... Truck is almost unstoppable made of metal weighs just over 3600 and has over 300 hp with no nannies! (to be fair 1k of the 15 was leather interior!

bill nalder I have one of these, the bumper cover is plastic and is just clipped together. At that angle I can’t see how he could have avoided damaging it. I replaced the chrome bumper caps with black ones, all those parts are actually pretty cheap. As mentioned real off roaders replace them with steel bumpers. I’m pretty impressed that bone stock Taco even got in there. I wouldn’t try it in mine.

Lol! 👍

Natural selection rarely shows up SHAME

More like "Let's go [ get stuck ] places."

LOL!!

Toyota: "Let's go places." Mother Earth: "Come, my precious".

I think it is fine to have for on road but there should be a big button to turn it off for off road.

They make vehicles have electronic brains now because the idiots behind the wheel have no brains anymore.

you're an idiot!!

That's one of the things that steers me away from newer jeeps. My jeep had a computer in it. When I took the cover off I could see one of the IC's exploded all over the board, lol, I'm guessing it hasn't worked in a while, but, luckily, my jeep could run without it.

I had a 2014 TRD Off Road Tacoma with the TRD supercharger and 3" lift which gave me some ground clearance but no real of road worthy suspension. First time in the sand I was hauling a$$ on the flats and came up on some mild woops. When I tried to apply the brakes, the anti lock break system kicked in and I sailed into the woops at almost full speed. I hit them going way too fast and it was like riding a bucking bronco for a moment. The only way to disengage the ABS was to lock the rear diff, I later found out but that limits the speed to 30mph. I've never been more mad at computers. Not being able to stop in the sand is less than desirable. I also found out later there's a fuse for the ABS and if you remove it that problem disappears.

I thought all the bullshit computer nanny shit went away when in 4x4 low? Or at least you can shut it off with traction buttons?

@@jbw5485 It's actually more aggressive when you're slow to help with traction, because it's harder to keep tires from spinning when low gear is multiplying torque. Toyota uses the brake system to emulate a limited slip differential (LSD, it's not drugs for your truck lol). When active, it actually works fairly well on more solid terrain where wheel spin is not beneficial, but it can be disabled with the push of a button (it's always on until you disable it) for when you need that wheel speed and no power restriction to slow you down. However, some of the other nanny features of the Toyotas are disabled when in 4LOW, such as VSC. Of course, they change this crap so often and it's not the same all across the board on all their vehicles, so I can't tell you for sure between 3rd and 4th gen tacos and 4th gen 4Runners, or even with open or locked diff models, what exactly is going on. Ideally, in sand like this you want it in 4HI and disable LSD/VSC so nothing is screwing with you and you have all the wheel and vehicle speed you can get. Nothing sucks more than bouncing the rev limiter in low range and needing just a little more speed for the hill you're trying to climb. I put a switch in mine that shuts power off to the yaw sensor (a MEMS gyro, basically) , which signals the computer to revert to a failsafe mode and disables ALL of that crap (including ABS). It's used mostly for sand and desert running, and it's the only way to really dig into a turn and let the rear slide some under power. A word of caution, however....once you shut power to the yaw sensor, it's disabled completely until you restart the truck. You can't flip the switch back, send power to the sensor, and expect your ABS to start working again, it's programmed to only restart after a power cycle. The reason the yaw sensor shuts it all down is because the ABS, VSC, and LSD all work from a dedicated module that relies on that yaw sensor to sense vehicle movement for stability corrections. They're all interconnected and rely on that module to work. The sensor needs to be stationary to calibrate itself, which is why you can't turn it back on while driving...if it's not calibrated right, it might think you're in a tight turn when you're not and apply correcting brakes when you change lanes. Really, Toyota needs to have a switch labeled FUN that can disable all that stuff on the fly and kick it back on at will, with a self calibrating gyro/accelerometer package. Having to learn all this crap just to make my vehicle function in the desert just pisses me off.

@@jbw5485 In my F150 it turns off the traction control automatically when you shift into low.
