Towing vehicle delima

Post by snookwheel »

We use our Tundra to tow our race trailer. With all the fuss about sudden acceleration, I went to the Toyota Dealership and asked about the recall. They did not have any of the replacement parts in just yet, but the service department did set us up with a temporary fix. I'm not too crazy about it, but went with it anyway so my wife didn't have to worry when she drove her truck. At the slightest indication of 'runaway acceleration' I can instantly launch the supplemental braking system. I hope the regular parts get here soon. I hate riding in back.....:(

It looks like the DOT is getting in on the Hysteria too!

C'mon now, that's just not practical. Hole in the floor board and thick soled boots makes more sense. Geeeezzzz.

All this reminds me of the proposed new advertising campaign partnering Tiger Woods and Toyota. Their slogan is:

"Tiger and Toyota, We Promise to Stop!"
