"The triple wheel bogie with a steerable aft wheels require unique handling which many choose to ignore. The auto brakes and the auto spoilers can surprise you at the wrong time. The auto flight systems in capture mode at light weights/high power combination, height weight/low thrust combination can lead to scary moments too."


None of these apply to crosswind landings.

Other than the triple bogey gear, which is a non issue on landing, the 757/767 have the same systems. If anything the 777's autobrake system is slightly better (pitch related delay in activation).
