Integrated Trailer Brake Controller<\/h4>\n

The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller system, when connected to a compatible trailer, allows you to control the amount of trailer braking based on its weight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TOW\/HAUL Mode<\/h4>\n

When you switch to TOW\/HAUL Mode, your Tundra will hold lower gears longer and spend less time hunting for the right gear. This system also improves throttle response for added confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Standard in all Tundra models, Trailer-Sway Control detects trailer sway and applies brake pressure accordingly as well as controls engine torque to help with stabilization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
