I have a 2001 sequoia 4 x4 ltd. On the left hand side of the dash right beside the power rear window switch there s a blank switch not used for anything. Since the model has almost everthing I was wondering I any one knew what this was for. <br>Some one on this site asked our 3 favorite things of the Sequoia/ 1 the sound of the v 8 when you put your foot in it. 2. the off road ability. we have this unit in northern Alberta filming out in the wilds in places it any 4 by 4 should not have been. i t was flawless .<br>3. The looks it gets everywhere.<br>The 3 things I wish it had 1. memory seats<br>2. auto dimming mirrors. 3. Adjustable ride hight and ok 4. 100 lbs more torque. we had it going on a wide open road at about 100 mph and it started to become a bit unstable. Simply to much air going underneath. I would like the extra power for trailering my horses but then again I like the gas milage I get now. guess I cant have everything. FYI the new Lexus SUV comming this summer is 18 iches smaller but has all my above options(minus the torque) plus a optional factory installed 16x9 drop down LCD screen . cheers steve

VDC is Vehicle Directional Control it is a option that takes over braking and throdle to keep you from flipping the truck.<br><br>Not all Toyota dealers are TRD certified in fact not many are. You will have to find a TRD certified dealer then talk to them about it. TRD stands for Toyota Racing Development

Thanks shortlid.<br><br>In canada all Sequoias are sold as 4x4. 2 wheel drive is simply not available. The VDC is called VSC/TRAC. I assume this is the same as the U.S. system. It's a duel Vehicle Skid control and Traction control system that work together. One gives an audible warning and the other just flashes a light to let you know they're working. They are both defeatable with the switch beside the 4x4 switch .F.Y.I. If you are in deep snow you must turn the system of to power three of the four wheels . But if you have the 4x4 you probably know this. The skid control works great. We have snow here 6 months of the year and several times i've found my self going to fast for the conditions<br>only to have the system straighten the truck out.<br><br>my Dealers is TRD certified but does not yet have access to the supercharger. Perhaps for my birthday next year. cheers Steve

You are right, also engaging 4WD LOW range defeats VSC. Ya, I did see the super charger kit in the TRD catalog though might want to call TRD directly and get a catalog! they have LOTS of hop-up in there!

Shortlid .Thanks . Ididn't know that about 4 wheel low. Tell me what you Think of the super charger . Do you feel the boost more in H.P . or in torque. <br>Whats the gas milage with a light foot. And If I could ask one more? would you do it again. I.E. do you feel you got value for your $$$. <br>Cheers steve
