Safety features may not be the first thing you consider when looking at purchasing a new truck like the Toyota Tundra. You\u2019re most likely going to look at the truck\u2019s powertrain, cabin\/bed options, and towing capacity. While these are all critical elements of your next truck, it\u2019s also worth taking a look at how a truck handles your safety.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Luckily, the Toyota Tundra comes loaded with an entire suite of driver-assist safety features known as the Toyota Safety Sense system. Other trucks may have comparable features, but they often make you pay extra or upgrade. The Toyota Tundra<\/a><\/strong>, however, knows that safety is important and understands it might be a second thought for those looking for a muscular truck. That\u2019s why they decided to load this pickup with the latest and greatest.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s included in the all-new Toyota Safety Sense System:<\/p>\n

Pre-Collision with Pedestrian Detection<\/h3>\n

Your integrated camera works alongside a unique radar that keeps an eye on the road ahead. If it senses another object, car, or pedestrian, it provides an alert to ensure you can avoid a collision.<\/p>\n

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control<\/h3>\n

Using cruise control in the past meant having to constantly change your speed or hitting the brakes due to traffic around you. With Toyota\u2019s updated cruise control, your system makes adjustments automatically. Thanks to an upgraded radar and camera system upfront, your Tundra helps you keep a preset distance from the vehicle in front of you.<\/p>\n

Lane Departure Alert<\/h3>\n

The camera built into your windshield keeps track of your driving so that it can alert you if you start to drift. Instead of having to make a last-minute correction when you\u2019re distracted or tired, this system draws your attention back to where it belongs.<\/p>\n

Automatic High Beams<\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re driving at night, the last thing you want to worry about is switching your high beams on and off. With Toyota\u2019s automatic high beam feature, your lights toggle between high and low as needed, especially when oncoming headlights are detected.<\/p>\n

Lane Tracing Assist<\/h3>\n

When you\u2019ve engaged your dynamic radar cruise control system, and you\u2019re driving on a road with clear lane markers, Toyota\u2019s lane tracing assist feature kicks into action. This system actually reads the lane lines to ensure you stay centered in your lane.<\/p>\n

Road Sign Assist<\/h3>\n

One of the most innovative features in the Toyota Safety Sense System<\/a><\/strong> is the all-new road sign assist feature. This system uses a forward-facing intelligent camera to detect and read speed limit signs, stop signs, yield signs, and more. The information it reads is transferred to your dash, so you know what\u2019s coming up.<\/p>\n

Stop By To Learn More<\/h3>\n

While most features of the Toyota Safety Sense come with most of Toyota\u2019s freshest models, there may be some trims or configurations that won\u2019t come with certain features built-in. Make sure to stop by your local Toyota dealer to learn more about which systems come on the Tundra you desire.<\/p>\n
