If traction control is shut off ATRAC will not engage. In 4Hi ATRAC does not seem to be as aggressive as when in 4Low. I had to experiment with it to understand when and how to use it.
4x4 Off-Road Channel got you. I thought it was disabled in 4low. I would love some mud like that to try it out. I’ve heard you have to give it a bunch of gas and hold the gas pedal steady to get it to properly work
I have found that with to much throttle ATRAC becomes ineffective, just enough throttle to maintain momentum but not enough to start spinning the tires. My friend went up the hill before me and he was spinning the tires. After the third try he went up slow and let the ATRAC work. He made it up with no problems. When its dry out and the trail has rocks I use the 2wd Auto LSD option so I limit tire spin and tire damage. Only in deep mud, water crossings and sand I will shut the traction control off.
I've always liked black vehicles, but I believe that blue is one of the better colors out there. Nice setup. I like the experience of slow and steady, and not full throttle tearing up everything, especially the truck.
As a former tundra owner..current power wagon owner this is the kind of terrain A-Trac works very well in. Just doesn’t help in deep snow/mud as well since you can’t get the high wheel speed needed sometime. It will get you moving again if stuck in deep snow sometimes.
I was watching a video of Mike Sweers being interviewed. He said you need to back up a little (like the guy did in this video) and then pull forward and the ATRAC will engage. I didn't know you had to back up..Seemed to work in this video. Thanks for the demo
Yes sway bars are not good for off-roading limiting wheel articulation. This truck is built to be better in all areas street, strip and off-road. The truck has a sequoia front sway bar and a TRD rear sway bar. By limiting articulation off-road seems to make the truck more reliable by not maximizing the angles on the drivetrain and suspension.
Hi yes, because these tires are 10.5 inches in width I had to move the plastic forward on the bumpers and do a body mount chop. I waited as long as possible but wanted the setup bad enough to go ahead with it. The mods were simple and look factory.
Fox 2.0 coilovers and shocks front and rear with coach builder 1" shackles. Rims are Icon Rebound 17x8.5 +25mm offset. Tires are 315/70r17 BFGoodrich KO2 Load Range C.
@@taylord8924 Most other tires are going to be a load E and the most popular sizes would be 275/70R18 and 295/70R18. The Falkin Wildpeak AT3W are popular and are a great buy for the money. Depending on what rims your running would depend on the trimming needed for larger tires. I chose the BFG specifically because of the Load Range C. I had the 275/70R18 in a load range E and the ride was to stiff with the suspension setup I have.
Yup I’m leaning towards going with the 275 70 r18 KO2s for my 2016 Tundra Crew Max Trd Off-road 4x4, but also considering going with a Bilstein 6112 set at 1.9“ of front lift and Bilstein 5160”S in rear with no rear lift,(from the pictures ive seen it’s the same stance as a Trd pro, so if I went with the 2nd route I’d def go 295 70 r18 General Grabber X3’s or Ridge grapplers
4x4 Off-Road Channel I’m just curious why you would recommend that? I see reason to alter a perfectly good engine. In my opinion, anytime a supercharger is involved, one is just asking for trouble. And doesn’t that void warranty?
A-TRAC works by applying the brakes to a spinning wheel allowing more power to be sent to the opposite wheel hopefully with more traction. A true LSD differential locks both tires when one starts to spin and is a mechanical system. A limited slip differential in theory should out perform A-TRAC in most situations.
Same tires as a stock Ford Raptor. BFGoodrich KO2 315/70r17 Load Range C. The load range c is a wider tire than the E load range. It also provides a great ride on road and offers great cut resistance off road.
There is no ATRAC button on Tundras. FJ yes, 4 Runner, yes. Tundra no. You are confusing traction control with Atrac and they work different ways. I know. I sell them.

Does this only work in 2wd? When I put mine in 4wd it does not let me use it

@@4x4OffRoadChannel the sweet spot for atrac is between 1 to 2.5 rpm. If you give more throttle its ineffective.
Also did you deflate down to 25psi for such terrain?
This is not a boring video. I could watch videos like this all day and be as entertained as a kid on Christmas.
Better than Netflix lol

Have you ever seen the cement and quicksand colors that they offer? Pretty sharp!
Love the no music in these videos and just hearing the trucks, keep up the good work!

That can happen with 4wd. ATRAC should come on in 4wd mode whenever it engages.
Very informative video in my opinion. It makes me feel much better about the Tundra not having a locking differential. Considering getting one soon.
NJ here. 2018 double cab off road stock. Great video!
Love that TRD dual exhaust sound!!
great Video. I own a Lexus ES and I live in the snow belt (Geneva, Ohio) and she loves deep deep snow and she is only 2 wheel drive.
It would be great if you would invite TundraDude34 out to try that hill.
Inclines can be deceiving and it has to be slippery. I’m impressed!!
TundraDude34 produces great Toyota videos and would always be invited out with us.
I love tundra, very nice truck 4x4⚙💪💯👍👍👍
What set of rock rails are those? I like the tucked up look with wheel to wheel protection.
Yes they fit great. White Knuckle Rock Rails
Nice truck 👍🏻
Would love to try this with my Tundra TRD Pro. You guys have any outings planned in the near future?
Hi, yes we go out at least once a month. What state are you from?
Well in that case sign me up I’m in ny
really enjoyed watching the video. quick question, when i put in 4low, the dash shows trac off /vsc off. if trac is off then how is atrac working
It is confusing. We are going to put together another video of the vehicle getting stuck and the difference between 4hi and 4low with settings.
I think it works like the auto LSD, tundra’s come with open axles.
aren't you suppose to take the rear sway bar off when you go wheeling? asking for a friend
Yes sway bars are not good for off-roading limiting wheel articulation. This truck is built to be better in all areas street, strip and off-road. The truck has a sequoia front sway bar and a TRD rear sway bar. By limiting articulation off-road seems to make the truck more reliable by not maximizing the angles on the drivetrain and suspension.
Nice vid. I gotta get out this way
Looks like fun!
Love your setup, would like to do something similar. Do you have to do any trimming to fit those 315/70-17?
Hi yes, because these tires are 10.5 inches in width I had to move the plastic forward on the bumpers and do a body mount chop. I waited as long as possible but wanted the setup bad enough to go ahead with it. The mods were simple and look factory.
315 is too wide keep it at 295 or 285 I had 295 and went down to 285 now.
The Tundra also has an ATRAC button?
I think only some. Which should come in all 4x4.
Amazing truck 👌
Did you install rear or front lock diffs off market ?
Both are open diffs just have traction control
Does the rear sway bar reduce off-road capability that much?
No the TRD sway bar doesn't seem to restrict articulation enough to affect its off-roading capability.
Do all tundras have atrac?
yes I believe every Tundra comes standard with ATRAC
Wheel/tire suspension?
What lift and tire size is he running here?
Fox 2.0 coilovers and shocks front and rear with coach builder 1" shackles. Rims are Icon Rebound 17x8.5 +25mm offset. Tires are 315/70r17 BFGoodrich KO2 Load Range C.
Liking it a lot. What size tires are you running?
Hi Tyler, the tires are BFGoodrich KO2 315/70R17 Load Range C. Same tires as the new Ford Raptors.
They look great and give me another option to consider, thanks for the quick response.

@@taylord8924 Do you plan to use the truck to off-road?
supercharged?
Yes, I would recommend supercharging a tundra as long as premium fuel of at least 91 octane is available.
4x4 Off-Road Channel what do you mean by 91 octane being available?
4x4 Off-Road Channel I’m just curious why you would recommend that? I see reason to alter a perfectly good engine. In my opinion, anytime a supercharger is involved, one is just asking for trouble. And doesn’t that void warranty?
is it supercharged ?
Yes with a Magnuson Supercharger
Is the A-Trak work the way as LSD

A true LSD differential locks both tires when one starts to spin and is a mechanical system. A limited slip differential in theory should out perform A-TRAC in most situations.
0:59 camera dude definitely busted his ass
Stock height or is this lifted?
Truck is leveled with Fox 2.0 for a total of 2" lift for the front. Rear has 1" coach shackles.
4x4 Off-Road Channel how are those fox’s doing? Any cons? What do you have for uca?
You have a locker on your truck?
No lockers just the A-TRAC system
What size tires are you running? I like the beefy look
Same tires as a stock Ford Raptor. BFGoodrich KO2 315/70r17 Load Range C. The load range c is a wider tire than the E load range. It also provides a great ride on road and offers great cut resistance off road.
Does this tundra have an Instagram??
seriously. it needs one. i love this truck
What's with the gay 550 hp sticker?
With the supercharger it makes 550 hp.
You need a 6inc lift on your thundra
No. Lift kits are for bro’s. Not wheelers
4.6 or 5.7
Hi Cesar, its the 5.7.
There is no ATRAC button on Tundras. FJ yes, 4 Runner, yes. Tundra no. You are confusing traction control with Atrac and they work different ways. I know. I sell them.
What is so amazing about this video???? A. Nash Metropolitan could do about the same.......
