Tundra now shares five colors with Tacoma

• Tacoma production moving to Tundra plant in San Antonio, Texas

• If system detects trailer yaw or fishtailing, it takes counter measures such as activating the truck’s individual brakes and possibly reducing engine power
• Trailer Sway Control is standard on all models, even those without factory tow package
• Tundra’s standard Trailer Sway Control regains standard tow feature parity to Ford F150
