    None. Keeping this one stock.
    8577 miles. And the pcs is flaking out again. This is the 3rd fucking time. Called and told them it's coming in Saturday. To have one on hand. And fix it. Turns out they have more than one on hand it's so common.

    Gonna get rid of this truck and get into a 2019 Silverado.

    Really sorry to hear about your troubles. I’m glad I’ve got a 2015, that predates all that crap.
    Sure hope the Silverado works out well for you.

    Even though you’re getting rid of your tundra, keep us updated on the Silverado and send pics. Good luck.

    Toyota won't do it. I've asked. It's a safety risk they said, yet it doesn't work anyway.

    Can't you get TechStream software and disable it yourself?

    Have you gotten hold of Toyota corporate? They seemed to get the ball rolling on my PCS issue and made a few good offers to my benefit. Plan on letting them know about my suspension issue now too...

    That sucks. The mere fact that a new (faulty) PC sensor being disabled will void an entire warranty? Deal breaker for me. I'd definitely go the corporate complaint route.

    I did move forward with the buyback. they said that the PCS issue doesn't affect the overall use of the truck and doesn't affect the safety of the truck. I had to read it twice. The failing safety system doesn't affect the safety of the truck.

    This kinda reminds me of when I had bought an 08 Malibu for my wife a yr later air bag light came on .I had it to the dealer many times over they couldnt figire it out called g.m. they said sorry can't help you it still doesn't mean the air bags wont deploy in a Collision. So I said a 50 50 chance they said yes .We got rid of the car that day .But we got a Highlander

    Hate seeing all these issues for you guys with this system, did Toyota even test this crap or just install it and roll it out for us to test?

    I agree, leave it off the trucks.
