A Good Safety Measure From Toyota. In My Opinion

I don’t understand poverty buttons. One of the biggest reasons I went with the TRD Off-Road upgrade package was to avoid the sea of blank switches. Honestly, I don’t get why Toyota leaves them there if the feature isn’t included. Why tease us with the empty spots? Even with the off-road upgrade package, there are still empty buttons. It was actually one of the main reasons I upgraded trims in the first place. At the time, I didn’t even care what the buttons did, I just didn’t want to be taunted every day by reminders of what I could’ve had. I’m not even sure what features I’m missing out on. Now that I actually go off-road with the truck, I use the accessory wiring and axle lock, but somehow I still only have the one button on the main console. How much do you actually have to spend to not be reminded daily of what you missed? And what features am I even missing out on with this package?

One thing I've noticed about my Tacoma is that there are a couple of functions, such as cruise control, that don't seem to work when your seatbelts are unbuckled.

A safety procedure from Toyota that sits well with me, honestly. We've seen how some drivers feel the seatbelt isn't a necessary safety precaution to take as long as you consider yourself a really good driver.

The only thing I can say in situations like that is, you can never be too careful out there. It's better to be safe than sorry, that's for sure.
