Experience Toyota's Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism—a feature that boosts stability on-road and expands off-road capabilities with the press of a button.
When it comes to off-road tech and going just about anywhere, few automotive brands can match the toughness of Toyota's lineup of body-on-frame trucks and SUVs. With so many technologies designed to tackle tough terrain, these machines are more than ready to take on those challenging trails.
One of the latest features found on select Toyota trucks and SUVs is the new Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism. This innovative feature provides the enhanced stability added by a sway bar when on pavement, all while providing improved wheel travel for off-road driving all with the press of a button.
To truly understand the Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism's amazing capabilities, it's important to know what a sway bar is and how it works. A sway bar is a U-shaped bar that connects the front wheels to evenly distribute weight and reduce body roll when turning, keeping the vehicle flat through turns for added stability when driving on pavement.
The Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism expands on this and enhances the vehicle's off-road driving capabilities. By allowing the left and right sides of the sway bar to be disconnected to give the suspension additional travel, making adventures off the beaten path even easier than ever.
How does the Stabilizer Mechanism work?
It's surprisingly simple. An electronically controlled actuator unlocks the sway bar with a press of a button, giving the suspension additional travel and allowing the tires to stay in contact with the ground. This also helps limit occupant body motions, making it easier to concentrate on driving, while enhancing comfort for everyone. Headed back on the pavement? Not a problem! Simply press the Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism button or drive about 18 miles per hour to reconnect the sway bar, bringing back the added stability needed for on-road driving performance and help drivers keep their adventures going confidently.
So that's a quick look at the Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism, an innovative technology that helps enhance off-road performance without compromising everyday drivability.
