After I had signed the purchase agreement my Toyota service manager assured me the TRD supercharger would be available for the 2104 Tacoma. His parts guy said it wasn't. That was a deal breaker and I stopped the deal. They found a 2013. Bottom line, Toyota dropped the supercharger that year and never did offer it. I would ask for better documented proof than his opinion. Ask him to demonstrate the visual indication the trailer brakes are being engaged. Ask him to demonstrate the manual braking capability. Without a manual capability it's extremely difficult to set the brakes and to determine they are even working. Manual control is also essential if you get into an extreme sway situation. Automation can only go so far. Seek a second opinion.

| Originally posted by Jewel59 I plan on stopping by the BMW dealer and hopefully find out what I need to know. Keep in mind the head service manager told me over the phone my braking would work......interesting situation. |
