Nice truck bud. Ignore the haters -you did a fine job explaining the basics. Every truck owner seems to be a 4wheel competitive god these days- lets be real everyone is just playing in the dirt. I’ve built 4 crawlers: 3 truggies with exo, and a full tube chassis buggy, every build is different and they all have different advantages. There’s no perfect setup, don’t worry about the couch quarterbacks/mall crawlers.
Thank you for your awesome video. We bought the red 4x4 TRD long bed brand new in 2018, it's our paid for baby for retirement but we are not retired. I guess they don't make long bed anymore, when we say it's got 15k miles now everyone wants to buy it, now seeing this video I see why. Awesome job my friend, you took the time and we appreciate it, now we'll never sell it. We made the right choice in 2018.
Really helpful video, thanks for taking the time to explain it! I just bought a '22 TRD Pro, and the owners manual didn't do the best job of explaining how it all works. This was much easier to follow. Thanks! -Fred
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Agreed! ( The new one replaces an '07 TRD Sport I bought new back then. Traded in with 186k miles and >15 years on the clock . Actually posted a video review about it a week ago. Have a nice day! -Fred
Correct me if i am wrong, but 4wheel drive sends power to the front and rear but only the wheel that is spinning, example at 5:30. Thats not quite what you said at 3:30
I went off roading for the first time and put it in crawl control and it Was making some terrible clanking noises. Did I do something wrong or is this normal?
That is completely normal! It's just the system going through it's operation of sending power or braking to the wheels. You didn't brake anything, it does that!
So I just bought the 2020 TRD Off Road. I also have a Wrangler with a locker on the front axle so I know how lockers work. My question is I saw on this video that only one wheel appeared to have power at a time in 4WD LOW. Do the Tacomas have an automatic locking function on the front end when in 4WD, or are they just like any other 4WD without lockers and are really one wheel each gets the power in the front and back?
Just like all the rest, power to the front and rear. One wheel front and rear, till you either use mts, crawl control or lock the rear diff. I would avoid using the rear locker with mts or crawl control. You're essentially cutting those systems in half. (Rear would be locked and not working independently from each other) Not to bash on this guy or beat a dead horse, but this is a really bad video on the Tacoma 4x4 systems.
I see a lot of negative comments on here about misinformation so I'm going to try and avoid that. All I'll add is that having the rear locked kind of defeats the purpose of crawl control when it comes to the rear end since the wheels won't be able to have power independently. Otherwise, I love the demonstrations! Much better than the typical videos that just tell you what they do.
i know Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any help you can offer me!

4hi and 4lo is still an open differential front and rear, meaning one wheel on each axel gets power when one wheel is spinning. That is why there are lockers. So it’s wrong to believe and rely on ‘4 wheel drive, al 4 wheels rotate’. Rear lock achieves equal rotation for rear only. Terrain select or attrac will use brakes to slow or stop front wheel spin and rear when locker is not locked. In high, engine braking is also used when traction control is enabled. In lo, engine braking is not used. Knowing this basic sinfo on how the system work that you paid for is the difference of getting stuck, damaging your vehicle by driving crazy or to fat to get out of something or even stranded. No one ha she’s to explain the Toyota system close to accurate and lack the basic knowledge to do so. Crawl control just uses the abs to control wheel spin and engine power to increase or decrease speed. Crawl control uses the same system a trac does for wheel spin. Crawl control will not do anything more than a driver that simply uses the same systems. Be smart, learn this extreme,lay effect and sophisticated systems that are extremely simple to understand and easy to use.
The explanation on 4hi is incorrect. When engaged power is sent front and back 100% of the time, not like you e explained which is more consistent with say Honda awds system (tho they are fwd until traction demand) 4lo also doesn't mean that all four wheels are going to spin. Just like 4hi, power will be sent to the front and rear but while the differentials are open and not locked, the power will go to the wheel with least resistance, often times meaning only one wheel in the front and one wheel in the back are getting power. Locking the rear differential makes it so both rear wheels get the exact same power regardless of conditions. There is no front locker which is why MTS (atrac) come in handy. MTS can detect wheel spin on a slipping wheel. It the individually brakes that wheel forcing power to transfer to the other side which hopefully has traction. It's not as good as a locker but its better than an open differential.
The rear wheels should only spin when the differential is locked and it doesn't automatically do that. You also can't lock the diff in 4Hi, you need to be in 4low to do that. Do you own a Tacoma?!

Multi-terrain select and crawl control are two different systems you can Engage The multi-terrain select without having to use crawl control for that specific Hill I would try... Mud
Thanks for the video! I thought it was very helpful for me, new to offroading and Toyota crawl control. Question: How long can you engage Toyota's crawl control continuously? e.g., can you have crawl control engaged for >10 minutes going up a hill, or is there a time out limit?
Honestly I am not sure, I've never tested that...but you should be able to leave it for as long as you need. It's not something to have engaged for 10 minutes though, that would be unnecessary.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed but you have no understanding of those setting... He's right, a class or a little research would help keep you from putting bogus info out there
Tacoma has part time 4 wheel drive system, in 4 HI it doesn't send power to front wheel as needed, front drive shaft stays locked with front differential. Tacoma doesn't have torsen center differential or clutch pack of any sort, it has transfer case.
This video wasn't for talking about that, but here are some videos on those topics! A look at the OME lift kit! ruclips.net/video/dcMd5BOT1pQ/видео.html Adding 33's! ruclips.net/video/2idKt05LOeM/видео.html
The clicking is specifically the abs sound at the wheels and from the engine bay, specifically the engine power cutoff/engagement. It’s mostly the abs though. You rarely active abs so most people never hear it. But try braking on ice or something and you’ll hear it. Or try accelerating on ice, you’ll hear the engine power cut off sound.
The computer basically controls all four tires and gives them power based on what it needs. I believe the rear diff gets disengaged. It only works in 4 low, but so does crawl.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed no 4Low and 4High both engage the differentials the same way. The difference for 4 lo is only that you're on a different gear ratio. The diff lock is what send power to both rear tires but the in 4 lo the diff is still open and you only get power on 1 rear tire at a time.
Two wheel drive sends power to one wheel. Typically rear since we're talking about 4WD vehicles. 4H and 4L sends power to one wheel on the front axle in addition to the rear axle at their respective torque ranges. A locker (front, rear, or both) will allow power to be sent to both wheels on the same axle. Most stock vehicles don't have lockers but it's becoming available in A LOT of newer trucks. Your truck does have it. Best case scenario for you is that you can have your rear locker on in 4WD. This would send power to BOTH rear wheels (locker), and one front wheel(4WD).
This is a good video for me to watch. I have down hill assist in my 4Runner and when I read about how and when to use it, most people weren't in favor of it, They said it goes too fast for their liking. The idea of letting go of control is a bit much for me. Haha So many features, and most people don't know how to properly use them. Thanks.
You need to take air out of the tires!! But still dont think you could have made it up the hill even if you wanted to. Lol But I would love to see a video of you trying!! That would be fun!!
I want off-roading for the first time and we got to a spot like this they told me to turn on crawl control so I just turned the knob thinking it was on now I feel like I fucked up my truck :(
4hi and 4low operate the same way and put power to both the front and rear diff, 4lo uses a different ratio in transfer case so you get more torque to the wheels at lower rpm. The rear locker does exactly as the name implies, locks the carrier in the axle and puts equal power to both rear tires. Crawl control uses your abs system to modulate brake pressure while monitoring wheel spin to help gain traction....just to clear up the misinformation in this video
How did you get that custom screen on your entune deck? I’ve seen the startup and shutdown tutorials but how’d you get it to display (your logo) during operation?
I've had the truck just over 3 years now and I can still get about 320 on a tank, depending on driving. Closer to 280 or so if it's a lot of city driving.
This guy has no understanding of how 4 wheel drive works. Or how the auto lsd works. "Don't know shit, but try to sound like I am an expert on RUclips"
Some of the other comments hit most of them, but I can break it down for you. 2:23- LSD is going to automatically add power or take power away. Totally wrong. Auto LSD uses your ABS system to try to mimic a limited slip differential. So in your case, when one tire spins, and all the power goes to that tire, the Auto LSD will try to brake the spinning tire, and that then sends power to the tire with more grip. If you don't understand this, check some youtube videos on open differentials, and how they work compared to limited slip and locking difs. Turning your traction and stability control off will turn off any auto throttle reduction, and also any possible ABS style stability control. That could be good or bad in your example. 3:25- if one rear tire spins, power gets sent to the front. They are just going to engage as needed. Incorrect as well. 4 High puts you in 4 wheel drive, and in this situation your power is being sent 50/50 to the front and the back. You still have open diffs, so a tire loses traction, it will get all the power for that half. That is, front tire spins, all the 50% of the power from the truck that is sent to the front will go to that spinning tire. If 1 front and one back spin, you loose 100% of your power, as they go to the spinning wheels (assuming no traction control /MTS is being used). 3:50- talking about 4 Low.- now power is going to all 4 wheels, suggesting 4 high is only fronts as needed and 4 low is all 4, also incorrect... 4 low is the same as 4 high, but just at a lower gear ratio. Can't explain to you how the gear reduction works (not enough space) but basically you get all the same gears (1-6) at a lower gear ratio for more torque. Tacoma requires 4L for MTS/Crawl/Locker. 5:06 locker, turn the steering wheel to engage. The locker is on the rear dif, and not at all related to the steering wheel or front wheels. 6:00- Multi terrain select, and crawl are two different systems. You can't use them at the same time. So setting your MTS to rock/dirt, and then turning your crawl on doesn't actually do anything. If you wanted to use the MTS, it is kinda like the auto LSD, but for all wheels. As a wheel spins, it can clap it down to add power to the wheel that has grip. The settings allow you to tell the computer how much room to give you before it kicks in (mud for example, you want more wheel speed /spin to clear the mud from your tire lugs, where rocks you want almost none). Crawl control is basically a cruse control for going up, and a hill decent assist for going down. It uses MTS style brake use, but it totally takes over gas/brake control from you. They are two different systems, you can only use one at a time. Don't want to sound too much like a jerk, but this is kinda basic stuff for offloading.
Screw the haters about your wheels and tires! For tires that aren't completely off-road type tires, they are holding their own. Every upgrade makes your "mall crawler" even better and you know what you're doing.
Very dissapointed u didn't let us see the crawl control actually crawl & work and keep going :( I do thank you for the vid, info, and imaginary climb though 👍🏼
All I saw was you turning knobs and pushing buttons and yet your 50k truck still couldn’t make up the muddy hill! What you’re lacking is off road experience. No knobs and buttons can replace experience. Accomplish off-roaders don’t need traction control assist buttons.
@@macneoh7418 Whats the wrong info? That would be more helpful than just telling me I said something wrong. I’ve been off-roading for more than 10 years now. I’ve learned a lot over the years.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed i've noticed a lot of people who buy tacomas and claim to offroad happen to know everything, and anything anyone does is usually wrong. You can never please this crowd. Kinda reminds me of the gun hobbyists too. Bunch of know it alls. This was a good video for someone who was just starting off, ignore the haters man
its just a nother way of making people lazy. first off it will not work in all situations. secand the way it works is the same as going into 4 low and giving little gas. all you do is slowly give the truck gas til the tires start tospin then stop do this like 6 times then give it little gas again and do it just enough till the tires just start to spin then hold that spot the truck will then get unstuck. anyone who has a 4wheel drive truck and gets stuck in sand knows what I am talking about.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I think it was just going up and down that little hill back and forth that was messing with me. I don't know if it was a camera work issue. Probably just me.
Yeah, honestly thought this video was going to be interesting or informational.... too bad you have no idea what your talking about ... as multiple people have said, take some classes and learn how things work... I will give u credit where it is due, I personally did not know u have to hold traction control down to disengage it. Granted I never looked into it but aye that's 1 thing u put out there that was useful.
Another crawl video that doesnt explain what it's actually used for. Why does everyone able to buy a TRD think they're some kind of overlanding pro now when they're not?
I'm just showing how it works. You can tell I'm offroad and I talk about it's function which is showing what it's actually used for. Crawl provides traction to all wheels and they spin at their own rate to get the best possibly traction.
I had a lot of people asking how to use and engage it, but here is a more comparable test of using the settings... ruclips.net/video/T1uVeZIRv3w/видео.html
Stop making videos about things you obviously don't understand, like Crawl Control, like off-roading, like driving, like getting up a muddy hill from a stop while on said hill. Agreed with all the people calling you out on not knowing what you're talking about. The desperation to be an influencer is higher than the level of knowledge here.
If you heard me say in the video, the hill didn't have anywhere to go. It was a dead end, so the purpose of this test was to use the hill for the inclined angle, but only go half way since there wasn't anywhere to go..This was a test to show everything about crawl and not the actual hill.

You have no clue on how a 4x4 works. 4 high means the transfer case sends power to the front axle and the rear axle. 4 low does the same thing, just uses different gearing in the transfer case. Using the crawl control is just the computer pulsing the brakes on the front axle to change which tire it does not want to spin. The Tacoma does NOT have a front locker. 4x4 really does not mean 4 wheel drive If you dont have lockers front and rear. With no lockers, the truck only spins one tire in the rear and one in the front. Most of the time its the right rear and the left front. If you are going to do tutorials, you really should know what you're talking about.
Crawl control activates all 4 tires, not just the front. It sends power to each wheel and monitors the wheel spin to get maximum grip. Also I never said the tacoma has a front locker, crawl control is in place of that, if you look at it that way.
Builttexas, you don’t understand how 4 wheel drive works in the Tacoma,.4 hi means the front wheels pull only when the rear wheels spin,please try to know what you are talking about, I have a 1982 Toyota 4x4 truck, 1999 Tacoma , 2012 land cruiser and 2020 Tacoma trd off road, so believe me, I know about Toyota 4 wheel drives.

The Tacoma front wheels automatically Ilock if one of theme spins
Like the differential locks? Traction control will limit wheel spin if they are spinning
Crawl and Mts separate I believe
I can't remember! Multiterrain could have been used by itself in just 4 low I think.
Great video
Thanks!
Has crawl control the version with
manual transmision?
Crawl isn't offered with the manuals.
You never said what tire size and lift you put on
This video wasn't for talking about that, but here are some videos on those topics! A look at the OME lift kit! ruclips.net/video/dcMd5BOT1pQ/видео.html Adding 33's! ruclips.net/video/2idKt05LOeM/видео.html
Excellent explanation
Glad it was helpful!
So if you are Crawl Control and you let your foot off the brake, is the truck supposed to sound like it’s possessed by a demon?
Yes! That's just all the mechanical components doing their thing, that is normal for crawl control!
crawl control uses a combination of your traction control and anti lock break system. that sound is normal!
The clicking is specifically the abs sound at the wheels and from the engine bay, specifically the engine power cutoff/engagement. It’s mostly the abs though. You rarely active abs so most people never hear it. But try braking on ice or something and you’ll hear it. Or try accelerating on ice, you’ll hear the engine power cut off sound.
So with the rear axle in diff lock how can crawl mode truly work as it should
The computer basically controls all four tires and gives them power based on what it needs. I believe the rear diff gets disengaged. It only works in 4 low, but so does crawl.
Great truck
Thanks 👍 I love my 3rd gen Tacoma!!
4LO doesn't mean that all wheels get power. They're still open diffs unless you lock the rear diff.
Actually 4low engages power to all wheels, locking the rear diff has nothing to do with the front wheels so that's how you get power to them.
Bros FOURR Speed You don’t understand the concept of open differentials.
ratcamaro I think we are saying the same thing but different...4 hi front wheels only spin if needed, one or the other being an open diff.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed no 4Low and 4High both engage the differentials the same way. The difference for 4 lo is only that you're on a different gear ratio. The diff lock is what send power to both rear tires but the in 4 lo the diff is still open and you only get power on 1 rear tire at a time.
Two wheel drive sends power to one wheel. Typically rear since we're talking about 4WD vehicles. 4H and 4L sends power to one wheel on the front axle in addition to the rear axle at their respective torque ranges. A locker (front, rear, or both) will allow power to be sent to both wheels on the same axle. Most stock vehicles don't have lockers but it's becoming available in A LOT of newer trucks. Your truck does have it. Best case scenario for you is that you can have your rear locker on in 4WD. This would send power to BOTH rear wheels (locker), and one front wheel(4WD).
Does the MTS work only in low range?
Yes, it only works in 4x4 low
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks for your reply.
Wrong..... Mts set to mud, sand and snow works with 4-high.
This is a good video for me to watch. I have down hill assist in my 4Runner and when I read about how and when to use it, most people weren't in favor of it, They said it goes too fast for their liking. The idea of letting go of control is a bit much for me. Haha
So many features, and most people don't know how to properly use them. Thanks.
What package includes Crawl Control ?
I think it can be an option on the trd sport, but it is usually just on the offroad and the pros.
The SR model has it
What?? No the only options that have crawl control is the trd off-road and trd pro. The Sr or the sport doesn't have it
@@fastfed I don't have crawl control on my TRD Off road. Because I bought a manual like a fucking boss, not some bitch whistle auto.
Look it up!
You need to take air out of the tires!! But still dont think you could have made it up the hill even if you wanted to. Lol
But I would love to see a video of you trying!! That would be fun!!
I haven't aired out yet since I don't have a way to fill them back up yet on the trails.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed well time to buy air compressor.👍
I now have one!! ruclips.net/video/XhqO9_Yod9Y/видео.html
LOL..............BUY ONE! YOU NEED TO BUY THE ALL NEW 2020 TRD PRO IN ARMY GREEN! IT'S THE BEST TACOMA EVER!!
How you gonna tackle a bigger hill, seems you were having trouble going up this one but go for it.
It can do bigger hills, this was more of a tutorial on the different modes. ruclips.net/video/T1uVeZIRv3w/видео.html
Would be great if we can see upper controls in light. It’s too dark can’t see where you pressed.
Man those tires really don’t sling the mud off
Not too much in the mud depending on how slick it is, but they also aren't mud terrains. They do the job though!
Ranger trail control still leading!!!
I've used the Trail Control in the Bronco. Works very well for sure! But I know a Tacoma will give a Ranger a run all day in the trails ;)
Hello there! I was wondering where you can order your window coverings?
Here you go man!
amzn.to/2FeGkXI
Bros FOURR Speed Thank you ✊🏼😎
You sent him 2nd gen window coverings..are they same?
I want off-roading for the first time and we got to a spot like this they told me to turn on crawl control so I just turned the knob thinking it was on now I feel like I fucked up my truck :(
Well it won't actually engage until you are 4LO. Everything still working fine?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed everything still working fine I took it in just to be sure but I’m just paranoid because I bottomed put a couple times
Wya is the purpose of the rear locker iF all when’s spin anyway
The locker makes it to where all wheels will rotate. If it's not engaged, one wheel won't rotate at all and not help propel the truck forward
4hi and 4low operate the same way and put power to both the front and rear diff, 4lo uses a different ratio in transfer case so you get more torque to the wheels at lower rpm. The rear locker does exactly as the name implies, locks the carrier in the axle and puts equal power to both rear tires. Crawl control uses your abs system to modulate brake pressure while monitoring wheel spin to help gain traction....just to clear up the misinformation in this video
Thanks bro, my is 2019 never use all that yet.. lol..
How did you get that custom screen on your entune deck? I’ve seen the startup and shutdown tutorials but how’d you get it to display (your logo) during operation?
This video should help! ruclips.net/video/DqwcQyiq_D0/видео.html
U NEED THE 2020 TRD PRO!
Looks like fun!!
My only question is how the hell do you have 300 miles until empty on 3 quarter tank!!!! I get like 270 on a full tank
I've had the truck just over 3 years now and I can still get about 320 on a tank, depending on driving. Closer to 280 or so if it's a lot of city driving.
My 2020 Tacoma trd off road only get 270 too😭 , I regret that I didn’t buy a large tank full size truck
Shi mine was at like 12mpg coming from Houston today like wth man..sold my ford on 37s because of gas mileage @@老何北美卡溜仔
This guy has no understanding of how 4 wheel drive works. Or how the auto lsd works. "Don't know shit, but try to sound like I am an expert on RUclips"
You could help by pointing out what I may have said wrong instead of just saying I didn't know..
Some of the other comments hit most of them, but I can break it down for you.
2:23- LSD is going to automatically add power or take power away. Totally wrong. Auto LSD uses your ABS system to try to mimic a limited slip differential. So in your case, when one tire spins, and all the power goes to that tire, the Auto LSD will try to brake the spinning tire, and that then sends power to the tire with more grip. If you don't understand this, check some youtube videos on open differentials, and how they work compared to limited slip and locking difs. Turning your traction and stability control off will turn off any auto throttle reduction, and also any possible ABS style stability control. That could be good or bad in your example.
3:25- if one rear tire spins, power gets sent to the front. They are just going to engage as needed. Incorrect as well. 4 High puts you in 4 wheel drive, and in this situation your power is being sent 50/50 to the front and the back. You still have open diffs, so a tire loses traction, it will get all the power for that half. That is, front tire spins, all the 50% of the power from the truck that is sent to the front will go to that spinning tire. If 1 front and one back spin, you loose 100% of your power, as they go to the spinning wheels (assuming no traction control /MTS is being used).
3:50- talking about 4 Low.- now power is going to all 4 wheels, suggesting 4 high is only fronts as needed and 4 low is all 4, also incorrect... 4 low is the same as 4 high, but just at a lower gear ratio. Can't explain to you how the gear reduction works (not enough space) but basically you get all the same gears (1-6) at a lower gear ratio for more torque. Tacoma requires 4L for MTS/Crawl/Locker.
5:06 locker, turn the steering wheel to engage. The locker is on the rear dif, and not at all related to the steering wheel or front wheels.
6:00- Multi terrain select, and crawl are two different systems. You can't use them at the same time. So setting your MTS to rock/dirt, and then turning your crawl on doesn't actually do anything. If you wanted to use the MTS, it is kinda like the auto LSD, but for all wheels. As a wheel spins, it can clap it down to add power to the wheel that has grip. The settings allow you to tell the computer how much room to give you before it kicks in (mud for example, you want more wheel speed /spin to clear the mud from your tire lugs, where rocks you want almost none). Crawl control is basically a cruse control for going up, and a hill decent assist for going down. It uses MTS style brake use, but it totally takes over gas/brake control from you. They are two different systems, you can only use one at a time. Don't want to sound too much like a jerk, but this
is kinda basic stuff for offloading.
Did you remove your bump stops?
Nope. Still there on the leafs and control arms
Screw the haters about your wheels and tires! For tires that aren't completely off-road type tires, they are holding their own. Every upgrade makes your "mall crawler" even better and you know what you're doing.
Why no A-Trac? 😢
My dad's 4runner has that, but not on the tacoma.
Bros FOURR Speed oh maybe it’s just a4Running thing. My 2019 4R O.R.P. has it just never used it yet
Oh cool ok, just different systems they use in each one.
Very dissapointed u didn't let us see the crawl control actually crawl & work and keep going :(
I do thank you for the vid, info, and imaginary climb though 👍🏼

Great video and thank you for breaking it down.
Great video man!!! That was awesome!!! I loved it!!! Do you have a good Christmas? I did. I can't wait for your next video.
Why doesn't the Tacoma have a lever for 4H and 4L like the 4runners do? I much prefer the lever in my 4runner
Manual transfer case vs button
Now why does the Pro Tacos have roll and pitch on screen but same year 4Runner pros do not? 😜
All I saw was you turning knobs and pushing buttons and yet your 50k truck still couldn’t make up the muddy hill! What you’re lacking is off road experience. No knobs and buttons can replace experience. Accomplish off-roaders don’t need traction control assist buttons.
I wasn't trying to go all the way up the hill. This was just a tutorial on how to use all the buttons. It wasn't even close to 50k either.
Bros FOURR Speed too funny these guys are assholes
But they all have air lockers
Can you do a review on the new 2019 BMW X5
Jaspreet Singh I'll try!
Do all four wheels pull at the same time,with the same amount of torque which is true four wheel drive
The only way to achieve that is with lockers, so I can do that on the rear axle.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Dude, learn how to drive an off road. You are spreading misinformation.
@@macneoh7418 Whats the wrong info? That would be more helpful than just telling me I said something wrong. I’ve been off-roading for more than 10 years now. I’ve learned a lot over the years.

Bonith Khuong Thanks!
I've been watching a bunch of crawl control videos, but all the Toyota ones have the comments turned off 😂😂😂
All that doesn't matter if you dont have the correct tires
They actually do pretty well, now that I can air down as well.
You need some more tread
I have plenty lol! I've done several offroad trips with these Nitto's and they do very good for what I do!
The Tacoma front wheels lock automatically if one of them spins
If one of the front wheels is spinning, they won't spin at the same time, I don't have a front locker.
Sorry your wrong 4low does not make all four tires spin...you said this before you even pushed the rear locker?🤪
Learn what 4l/4h is first
Would you like to explain the differences?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed i've noticed a lot of people who buy tacomas and claim to offroad happen to know everything, and anything anyone does is usually wrong. You can never please this crowd. Kinda reminds me of the gun hobbyists too. Bunch of know it alls. This was a good video for someone who was just starting off, ignore the haters man
First thing is you need to get it on? This should tell you Everything 😂
This was more of a tutorial video showing all the features.
This truck is my favorite
Wow you listen to too many people and don't do enough off roading in your new truck
I've been hitting the trails! ruclips.net/video/jrbXNxZPAAY/видео.html
its just a nother way of making people lazy. first off it will not work in all situations. secand the way it works is the same as going into 4 low and giving little gas. all you do is slowly give the truck gas til the tires start tospin then stop do this like 6 times then give it little gas again and do it just enough till the tires just start to spin then hold that spot the truck will then get unstuck. anyone who has a 4wheel drive truck and gets stuck in sand knows what I am talking about.
Crawl
Like and notifications squad where you at? Dope video and I have only seen 35 seconds of it 😂 love your channel guys
Strachan Clips haha thanks!
Good stuff. Thanks. The video was giving me vertigo. I had to just listen, not watch
Interesting.. I didn't have a shaky camera or anything, but thanks for checking out the Tacoma video.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I think it was just going up and down that little hill back and forth that was messing with me. I don't know if it was a camera work issue. Probably just me.
You need a cameraman.
Sometimes that would be nice.
Yeah, honestly thought this video was going to be interesting or informational.... too bad you have no idea what your talking about ... as multiple people have said, take some classes and learn how things work... I will give u credit where it is due, I personally did not know u have to hold traction control down to disengage it. Granted I never looked into it but aye that's 1 thing u put out there that was useful.
Please take this video down as it is completely inaccurate.
What exactly is inaccurate? Doesn't help when you just say that and not explain why..
Another crawl video that doesnt explain what it's actually used for. Why does everyone able to buy a TRD think they're some kind of overlanding pro now when they're not?
I'm just showing how it works. You can tell I'm offroad and I talk about it's function which is showing what it's actually used for. Crawl provides traction to all wheels and they spin at their own rate to get the best possibly traction.
Kinda bothersome that you are out in the mud, tearing up the trail!!
That's what offroading is, not to say I'm destroying anything, but when it's mudding that's what happens. Have you been offroading before?
Huh? If he was driving something like a Mclearan I'd be a little bothered too but that's what this truck is designed to do.
That crawl controls gonna be hell when it tears up😂
lots of wrong info in here.
Care to elaborate?
this isn't everything, I want to know IF it works, not how to check settings.... tf
I had a lot of people asking how to use and engage it, but here is a more comparable test of using the settings... ruclips.net/video/T1uVeZIRv3w/видео.html
Stop making videos about things you obviously don't understand, like Crawl Control, like off-roading, like driving, like getting up a muddy hill from a stop while on said hill. Agreed with all the people calling you out on not knowing what you're talking about. The desperation to be an influencer is higher than the level of knowledge here.
I realize this is an old comment, but couldn't resist. You are a dick, sir. Good day.
“Sad” that it couldn’t make it up that small hill even in crawl control…!
If you heard me say in the video, the hill didn't have anywhere to go. It was a dead end, so the purpose of this test was to use the hill for the inclined angle, but only go half way since there wasn't anywhere to go..This was a test to show everything about crawl and not the actual hill.

You have no clue on how a 4x4 works. 4 high means the transfer case sends power to the front axle and the rear axle.
4 low does the same thing, just uses different gearing in the transfer case.
Using the crawl control is just the computer pulsing the brakes on the front axle to change which tire it does not want to spin.
The Tacoma does NOT have a front locker.
4x4 really does not mean 4 wheel drive If you dont have lockers front and rear.
With no lockers, the truck only spins one tire in the rear and one in the front. Most of the time its the right rear and the left front.
If you are going to do tutorials, you really should know what you're talking about.
Crawl control activates all 4 tires, not just the front. It sends power to each wheel and monitors the wheel spin to get maximum grip. Also I never said the tacoma has a front locker, crawl control is in place of that, if you look at it that way.
Builttexas, you don’t understand how 4 wheel drive works in the Tacoma,.4 hi means the front wheels pull only when the rear wheels spin,please try to know what you are talking about, I have a 1982 Toyota 4x4 truck, 1999 Tacoma , 2012 land cruiser and 2020 Tacoma trd off road, so believe me, I know about Toyota 4 wheel drives.
Its junk....everything u need to know. Crawl control is my right foot. As soon as one of those ball joints start to wear that tire will get cut down.
it's all in the computer system.....
If you had tire chains you wouldn't need crawl control.
A winch would help to.
Jim Klatt
um...how would you recommend that?
y’know how much of a pain in the ass it is to put chains on truck tires....besides, for off roading, in deep mud tire chains don’t do shit they just dig
Great vid thank you
