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?

Took my 4G on it's first trip over the weekend and man is it awesome. Got 19mpg on the way up to Tahoe and it did amazing on the trails. Wasn't sure how I'd like the camera system but being able to see where the tires are and 360 cam is awesome when you don't have a spotter. Was so much easier to navigate difficult terrain. This thing is also a big improvement on the trail over the last gen. The engine feels like a diesel and just chugs up anything at low rpm as it makes it's power super low down. Very happy with my 4G so far.
