What owners wrote

I was driving with all tss (toyota safety sense) systems enabled (as is the only default setting on this truck) with three passengers (my young family) at about 50 MPH on a somewhat curvy mountain road. The truck's pcs (pre collision system) slammed on my brakes erroneously when a car (not in my path or lane) on a curve was slowing to turn off onto the shoulder.
