Consumer Description

The factory IBC is a safety issue. I would not tow anything over 1500lbs as the brake controller does not work. This controller is an accident waiting to happen. When set on gain 10 you can barely feel a tug from the trailer. You can't feel anything if you apply the vehicle brake pedal. On a gain of 10 it should lock up the trailer brakes, and it can't do that on a dirt road much less on asphalt. Toyota has not done anything to fix this issue AT ALL! Lots of truck owners out there that don't even know of this problem and alot of owners are forced to install aftermarket brake controllers on their dimensions. Toyota should be held to fixing this safety issue. Why isn't there a recall on these vehicles. It's a problem that multiple year tundras! I purchased this vehicle to tow a 16' travel trailer weighin3500 lbs. I tried to adjust the controller in the neighborhood and was not happy or safe with the test. I will not tow with the factory setup. UNSAFE!
