From my perspective it’s still pretty absurd that just selecting a different mode is the reason behind these fails. Because if that is the case, how under designed are these components? Where is the safety factor here? It’s just not confidence inspiring.

      @@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD yes, but the axle and diff would never experience a higher torque than the one max produced by the drivetrain in question. Thus, the components were NOT designed to meet said specs. How can you sell a product that can fail with the stock components that you sold? What will happen when you change to 33” inch tires? What will happen when you change gear ratios? A lift? All of these greatly reduce the life expectancy of a vehicle, and are all considered when designing a system. What I’m trying to say is, it all points to a lack of redundancy in the design.

    @barrydworak 3 місяці тому +1

    You're right. Totally.
    I did get something out of these videos, though.
    Toyota has not designed their computerized stuff to be idiot proof.
    The traction control system shouldn't have done what it did. By applying the brakes and power at the same time with no traction, it broke itself.
    My SR5 would not break if I went up that obstacle in 4Lo, simply because there's no computer doing that stuff.
    The same goes with the rev matching when you go 5 to 1. The computer should sense this and protect the truck from self-destructing. Again, this wouldn't happen without the rev match.
    You're absolutely correct. These were driver errors. However, it was the computer systems that turned them destructive to the vehicle.
    With my regular, non-computerized, manual shift Tacoma and Jeep, these aren't problems. I can feel it if I ever accidentally do go 5 to 1 at speed, and I just disengage the clutch.
    You're absolutely right. You're also right about the marketing. This stuff is not sold as features to assist skilled drivers, but rather to replace the need for skills. Rev matching isn't meant for people who aren't skilled manual drivers, but I think it's sold as if it is. The marketing needs to change.

    • @LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD
      @LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD  3 місяці тому +3

      @barrydworak At some point personal responsibility is a must. A computer can't lock you out of a physical 5 to 1 downshift at 60mph. The driver didn't feel for the clutch engagement loke most dovers do... he CLUTCH DUMPED it... which is why he destroyed the car. 4L and ROCK MODE... again how is Toyota supposed to ensure a driver knows the difference between rocks and ice? They can only dumb down and babysit people so much... then it's on them... again personal responsibility...

    • @barrydworak
      @barrydworak 3 місяці тому +1

      @LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD true. This stuff was the drivers' fault. The way they should have presented it was, "We were dumb. The fancy computerized features didn't stop us from being dumb."
      Still, good code should prevent at least some of these self-destruction issues. 5 to 1 at 60 and dumping the clutch? Probably can't fix that! Without rev matching, that can still grenade things.
      My perspective is shaped in part by my old job developing CMS database systems. I was lucky in that I was in the same office as the users. I quickly learned that I could test the thing all I wanted, and not find many bugs, but within 5 minutes of turning some code loose on an end-user, they'd crash it hard. I got to the point where I would waste little of my own time testing. I would just have the most clueless salesperson try the thing as soon as it sort of worked. Then I could fix all the bugs right away. Saved weeks of development time. 🙂
      Engineers and programmers simply never do to machines, what end users do. We can't put ourselves in the place of a real idiot at the controls. We know too much about what happens inside the machine.
      If I worked on that project, I would try to find the dumbest, most aggressive teenage drivers I could, and have them get behind the wheel on and off road. Then make sure the computer won't cause the vehicle to self destruct.
      That's the only way to really know.

    I totally agree with you on the down shift mistake was probably operator error. The ADD break on the ice should have nothing to do with being in 4 low, a vehicle should be able to handle that torque, the tires were just spinning on ice. Its not like he was spinning his tires at a high rate of speed and hit dry pavement. That ADD should be able to handle that, a drive line should break before the ADD. But new vehicles are a lot weaker than older ones when it comes to wheeling.

Spinning on ice is never ok... no matter the vehicle... back up and speed up the ice in a mode/configuration that ALLOWS wheel spin... Rock-mode/ATRAC don't allow wheelspin. User error.

    I don't think they intended to break them and most people cannot understand how much torque was put on the front driveshaft on the TFL video. The V6 likely could not generate enough torque to break it, but the turbo does. For some reason youtubers (not the ones who broke them) are trying to generate some views by spreading negative info on Tacoma. The price is often criticized. The sales of Tacoma were expected to be down after introducing a new generation but Tacoma has sold 69,500 Tacoma's in the first 6 months of the year. Tacoma still led the midsize truck segment for 1st half of the year.

      He tried to explain the Tundra's garbage engine. He jumped at the opportunity to work as Toyota's PR rep for free. "oh it was manufacturing debris!" Yet he can't explain why Toyota revised the short block assembly earlier this year by changing two of the bearings. The block is the same, crank is the same, pistons are the same, connecting rods are the same. The only changes were two of the main journal bearings. Why would Toyota change the bearings guys? This clown told us it was absolutely due to "debris" and nothing to do with the bearings. I guess he better contact ToMoCo to let them know they should go back to the original bearings, because he knows for a fact that it was all just debris left in the engine by some lazy American!

    lol just figured out why the diff broke because of Atrac and atrac is more aggressive in rock mode so programming to make atrac less aggressive will prevent future damage to diff makes sense
