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?

I installed a tailgate lock on my truck today after my neighbor's tailgate got stolen on his Tacoma sport last week, just 3 months after getting it.

Felt it's better to know mine is safe than to take any chances, even tho I know the tailgate can be locked with the doors using the key fob.

Wasn't a difficult installation process and I know my mind would be at ease now. Knowing my tailgate is secured.
