"It is very positive that Toyota has made electronic stability control standard on the Tundra, but not having it when four-wheel drive is engaged is “a major flaw,” said David Champion, the auto testing director for Consumer Reports.
Toyota says stability control cannot work with its four-wheel-drive system, whose design was chosen because it is particularly rugged. But the electronic stability control of the new Silverado works with a part-time system that also splits the power evenly front and rear, and G.M. claims that it, too, is rugged."
So...if you're towing a snowmobile trailer up north and it's snowing like crazy...wouldn't you have it in 4 wheel drive? Isn't that the time you'd need the stability control the most??????
