Disappointed with handling on wet / icy roads with 18' Tundra TRD Off Road

I echo @Hbjeff fully. I came to a '21 Tundra from a '93 4Runner. It had no traction control. Either RWD or 4x4, and in either mode, if you slipped, you had the choice to let off the throttle, or if conditions required, gas it and throttle through, which is a necessary approach in many circumstances.

Fast forward to the Tundra, there's 4" of snow on the ground, I've got great tires, and I'm in 4x4H. I round a corner I know very well and have rounded in the 4Runner endlessly, and I've got people behind me. I feel the slide initiate, and I go to throttle it out - however, the throttle is f*cking dead. Instead of being able to continue rounding the corner, the truck is literally forcing me off the road by killing its own power to move itself forward. Absolutely f*cking infuriating and genuinely dangerous in certain circumstances.

And for those of you who want to say "just turn off a-track with the little button there" - spoiler alert - that sh*t turns itself back on if you hit above 30mph at any point - sorry, but I don't want to have to babysit my goddamn truck just to make sure it is able to respond to the commands I want to give it. This is beyond flawed judgement on the dev side and I genuinely welcome any input on how to disable this throttle cut bullsh*t.

Either drive extra slow and safe with 4h or as soon as I turn 4h on I hold down the lsd button for three seconds so it turns off all traction control. Two different lights light up when I do that and I roll with it. Yes not the best setup. And no auto 4WD either but good tires and knowing what it can handle is good. It’s a heavy truck with a lot of weight in front and not the greatest 4WD.
