Any body else get this e-mail from Toyota? I have the ad but only copied the interesting part after doing the build your own it came out to 37,000 but look at the specs for the trail edition very promising does it really work well that's another thing.
According to my dealer that sent this to me it should be in mid month going to set up a test drive and talk them into off roading it a little to test the crawl and locking rear.

They need it because they'd be better drivers with it. Soccer moms are terrible drivers, having automatic transmissions just gives them another reason to focus less on driving.
What's the point of a truck, suv, or sports car with an automatic transmission? So much wasted potential...

The crawl control just seems like cheating. if not cheating, it at least is taking all the fun out of it. How many people need to use 4-LO, in tricky up and downhill parts, but can't control their own vehicle speed?? I think this is gonna get a lot of people in trouble, giving them a false sense of ability, and get a lot of brand new 4runners mashed up..
However, for a family comfortable, dealer ready off-road rig, I like it.. A little on the ugly side, but I still like it..

Honestly, it'd just be easier if they still included a manual tranny for people who know how to drive and want to save some money.

Soccer moms, they don't need manual transmissions, but they do need the ability to crawl at the push of a button.

When's the last time you had to park your 5th gen in those horribly undersized parking spots at the athletic centre? Not an easy task.. I've seen many soccer moms fail.. This happened a couple cities over from me a few weeks ago.. Not a 5th gen, but you can clearly see why a crawl box is needed.. Imagine how much more epic this vid would be if that X5 had Crawl Control..

Also, don't knock on 270 horses, that's almost 3x the horsepower under the hood of my truck. Then again, my truck doesn't waste the horses it has as much as an automatic does, it'd still be nice to have a 5spd instead of a 4spd so I could put them to better use.
