With all these bike racks, maybe Toyota will make us a bike rack mode.
For every day bike use, these new Toyotas are a big let down from a user experience perspective. I’m learning to accept it.
After 1000 miles with bikes on, I’ve continued to use the auto detect trailer mode to keep front sensors working (with rear disabled). Works great until it doesn’t— it will randomly ask if I removed the “trailer” even when bikes are loaded and it’s obviously on. Clean, dirty… no rhyme or reason. It would be helpful if they offered control to choose that mode and let it stick without auto detect failing more often than not.
If you don’t use the auto trailer mode— you’ll still get frequent prompts asking if one is attached. Requires manual action to clear it off screen. Can’t turn off auto detection without it resetting to ON each ignition cycle.
