Do you remember how it felt the very first time you engaged cruise
control? That momentary sense of no longer being in control, that the
car had assumed command? That's how Toyota's new crawl mode in the
2008 Land Cruiser feels at first. You select the function, take your
foot off the brake, and the car proceeds under its own management.

Of course, in crawl mode (which functions only in low range) the new
Cruiser moves forward very slowly-there are three speed choices on a
rotary switch in the dash, and none of them is faster than a walking
pace. The cool trick is that the vehicle will maintain that pace
through thick and thin, adding power to get the truck over big moguls
and using the traction control and downhill assist to negotiate holes
and grades. All you need to do is steer.

There's one other thing to do besides steer:  make sure you have a
friend with a Jeep along to pull your sorry piece of overpriced Toyota
out when it gets stuck...

Only if he trades another vehicle.  Otherwise he's just a buyer.

I'm born in California. Sorry 'bout that.  Not American.

> speak american

Que es "american"? Yo no hablo "american" - yo hablo ingles.

(Just in case you're curious - there is no "American", and we in the United
States have no official language.)

> drive american

Um, yeah. Let's see:

My "American" 1999 Chrysler Sebring has a Mitsubishi-sourced engine.  

My "American" 2005 Saturn Vue has a Honda engine.

My "American" 2006 Chevy Avalanche was completely assembled in Sinaloa
Mexico.

Your point?

HTH!

HAND!
