I test drove a 2015 T4R TE Premium with KDSS today. It drove real nice at freeway speeds and around town at 35 to 40 mph. Cornered well and had a good stiff ride on bumps and turns. No body roll, as advertised.
So I pulled over to put it in 4 wheel low and try to set all the A-Trac, Hill assist and most importantly, the KDSS. I didn't set the A-Trac, etc. but I could not find a control for the KDSS. We sat there reading the manuals for a couple of minutes. I had the Quick Start short manual. We didn't find anything on setting the KDSS.
So I have to wonder if KDSS engages automatically and releases the wheels for long travel at slow speeds. I had the truck in 4WL and drove one side up a driveway and onto a curb and then down over the curb. At 2 to 3 miles per hour all 4 tires stayed on the ground, but maybe that curb wasn't enough to really over-extend the axles and test large articulation of the wheels/tires.
Any tips? Did I miss finding the KDSS switch? Does it release the sway bars automatically at slow speeds? :thanks:
BTW, I'm not going to buy this truck. It's black, which I don't want in sunny So Cal. It's the Premium with a sunroof I can't open because I'm too fair to sit in the sun. It has a sliding cargo tray I don't want ($350), a cargo cover I couldn't close with one hand ($155), NAV I don't need, Leather-like upholstery that is very nice but not for the Premium price. The sticker price is around $42,500. So if this is what you want call or go to Toyota of Pasadena and ask for David James. He's a good guy and capable of making the deal for you.
I've seen the sticker price on several T4R TE with KDSS and without a lot off accessories at around $39,000. That's what I'm looking for.
