- In this video we head up to Northern Minnesota to do a little scouting for some snow wheeling, and end up doing a little demonstration on Toyota's MTS traction control situation and hopefully help you figure out when you would want to engage the system. Multi Terrain Select is a very good traction control system that simulates lockers on both axles of your Toyota vehicle, it does this by modulating the ABS, and computer controlled throttle to transfer power from the wheel with little traction to the wheel with the most traction.
Next time you find yourself in a sticky situation on the trail do not hesitate to hit your Multi Terrain Select knob and give it a try.
Great demonstration. I've been enjoying your exploration and the testing of your 4runner. I bought my 2018 off road in April and I love it. Had an 07 FJ too. Lifted both. My understanding is you would use mud sand dirt for deep snow...Mts/atrac is most definitely a tool, and not a gimmick! Keep the vids comin!
The 4runner has been an awesome vehicle, it has opened up a whole new world to me!
My wife talked me into a new vehicle so i wanted something i would use also. Just got a 2020 TRD PRO. This video helped me understand the multi terrain better than others. Thanks!
That was a great video and perfect explanation and demonstration of how the MTS system works sir!, I was trying to explain it to my young son but your video and the way you explained it was perfect...great job!
Just bought an off road and this explained the MTS very well for me.
Same here, i went to the old trail with it and didn't really knew how to use all the cool stuff, MTS explained and demonstrated like would have helped me a great bit
I like your video, I've been thinking about a Tacoma lately, but then Toyota decided to do away with their A-Trac, and I was kinda disappointed, because I didn't know what the MTS settings were for, but now I got the gist of it.
Thanks
It's basically an adjustable a-trac, and works really good for most situations, I don't think you can go wrong with a Tacoma off road
@@RiverRatsTotalOutdoors I have a 2011 Suzuki Equator RMZ-4 typically a rebadged Nissan Frontier which has ABLS which is basically Toyota's version of A-Trac and I love it, but it is nothing compared to the MTS which is more refined I take it.
i liked A trac, they should have used it as the kind of auto option that could be engaged for those who don't want to fiddle with the different MTS settings like in land rover's auto terrain response.
Hey bud thank you for your video and very educational for us rookies. Can you please make a off-road 101 video for rookies to have a understanding of what to do when off-roading and what not to do when you have a 4 high or 4 low and a four-by-four vehicle thank you.
Cool video -my brother uses it in his Taco when he’s in a pinch. It seems to help pretty well! 👍🏼
Great explanation. I use MTS all the time. Easier on the tires and truck!
Can I use MTS on 4Hi (mud, sand, dirt) to go through water puddles? It recently rained here and I’m driving on the dirt road on RWD 🥲
good technical help as well as good advice - thanks
Love this video! MTS, from what I see on RUclips, TacomaWorld, etc., is relatively unknown. Would really like to see more videos like this!
Thanks for the post very informative!
Thanks for the video, very informative.
Nice video. So A - Track is the same as multi terrain select, not to be confused with crawl control. Multi Terran select is just different degrees of A Track settings.
A-Trac is the basic function of the MTS, MTS is a more advance and more aggressive setting of the A-Trac system.
I have not seen it explained so simply.. I have had my 16TRD OR For almost 4years and starting to understand all this.
Great video! Just got a new 2019 TRD premium, could have used this feature a couple months ago where I got real stuck in the snow with a Lifted F150
It's amazing how much more capable they are then just your standard 4wd, I always kinda chuckle at your average lifted full size now.
toyota perfect ❤️
Can you do MTS plus locker at the same time to pretty much lock up the back and have the front acting as the MTS?
This is my exact question too
Yes
You can, but it defeats the purpose of MTS. It's better to have the locker off and let the system find traction for you.
I try MTS sand mode+ rear locker on my 4Runner on beach dune terrain. My rear locker motor was broken after just pass few small dune. That sand is quite slippery and I need to spin my wheel pretty much to get through it. Not sure whether that broken is related to this kind of using behavior. But anyway, I’d avoid using this way again… :(
@@charlieku6357wheel spin is terrible in the sand. Lower your tire pressure to 12 psi and you’ll have zero issues
Atrac is available in the manual 3rd gen
Thank you, did not know this
Just curious, What state are you in? Great video.
Minnesota
What year was the Tacoma?
that was a 2018 TRD PRO
Awesome! Subscribed! Just started my outdoor channel too stop in
Why are you afraid that the locker could brake : is it so fragile ? Thanks
No there is nothing fragile about it, but it is a fact axles break, putting power to something that has no give causes things to break. I come from the trucking world, specifically the dirt side of trucking, I see axles break all the time. If I can get buy without using the locker I will always try the traction control devices on Toyota are pretty dang good, but they do not completely replace the locker, sometimes you still need to use the locker or your not getting out.
@@RiverRatsTotalOutdoors so, your recommendation is first : use the MTS and then, if its not working, use the locker?
@@ferlottes Yes, that is my recommendation, I just would rather not break an axle if I can avoid it, and honestly mts will get you out of 95% of the things you think you need a locker for
@@RiverRatsTotalOutdoors merci mon ami !
@@RiverRatsTotalOutdoors I'm not sure about locker meaning.. is it a red sing with a x in back axle..? I just got a TRD pro and I'm trying to learn and enjoy it.
Does the MTS work only in low range?
The mud sand snow setting works in high range 4wd other wise the other settings only work in low
@@RiverRatsTotalOutdoors thanks.
How to you enable the feature
Thanks for the video! Which setting did you have the MTS on?
I honestly cant remember, but one thing to note on the settings is that the mud sand snow allows for the most slip before activating mts, and rock or mogul allows for the least, so you can tailor the amount of slip you want to the situation. For example in mud or snow you might want a little more slip to allow your treads to clean them selves and to keep your wheel speed up.
So is a simulation real if it's simulated in reality? Lol 😆
Take those shitty stock tires off the Tacoma such an embarrassment I could literally drive that in rwd in my taco I’ve literally never had to use mts or cc or the locker lol this makes me sad underselling the taco for what it is
Are you still sad?
Not everyone wants Big offroad tires on their everyday driver to drive you crazy on long trips!
That's LITERALLY the saddest comment I've ever read. 😢
So you can use MTS in sand and mud on 4 high? It doesn't have to be all in 4lo?
Yes, on my 4runner I can, I believe that is the way with everything that has mts
@@RiverRatsTotalOutdoors nice so on the first mode mud and sand you can go 4 high and then the rest of the modes 4 lol. That's nice. Is this true of both the Tacoma and the 4runner as I have a 2017 taco.
@@instantjizz Yes my buddy no longer has the Taco in this video but it worked on his and it was a 2018 TRD Pro, as long as yours is an off road or a pro equipped with mts it should work
@@RiverRatsTotalOutdoors you sir are a savant, thanks much!!!
