Toyota Tundra on the Traction Hill
This Toyota Tundra has an electronic traction control system. All of the electronic traction control systems that I'm aware familiar with work by pulsing the brake on the wheel that's spinning in order to try and force power to the other wheel, an action that can take away any momentum the vehicle might have. In other words, if you are going up a somewhat steep driveway in the snow, and one tire starts to spin, any pulsing of the brakes could slow you down or bring you to a stop.
