Exploring my Tacoma’s Shifter Controls

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?

Anyone ever wondered what these options below the shifter are?

Juat found out the middle 3 are lockers and swaybar disconnect. I don't know what the left is.

The added stickers over the factory buttons, I believe they are canbus though so you wouldn’t be able to reuse them for other functions without being able to reprogram the entirety of the Canbus.

Still learning about my truck everyday.
