Anyone else experiencing this with their wipers on medium? It will do wipers at medium speed when still on medium speed, it goes into delay wipers.

From what I've noticed, if your truck actually has a rain sensor, a grasshopper hitting the windshield would trigger it as well. While stopped, it's slower compared to while in motion, but also what triggered it to run. A mist would be slow; a downpour, it would be faster.

What I could advise is to get your garden hose and spray; just don't expect it to be super fast when parked. It's also important to note that if you are stopped, the wipers will automatically slow, return to speed, and they speed back up to your setting.
 
I also experienced something like this. At a complete stop. The wipers move slowly. Then the moment I move, they go fast. All automatic. I was very surprised by it.

Every day I learn something new about this Tacoma.

The most recent thing was able to order chick fil a from the 14-inch screen. 😂😁👍🏻

It's the sensors that came with the truck. I'd try to see if it can be adjustable. Overall, it's a great truck!

Glad you've been able to figure out one of the best possible uses for the 14-inch screen. Sweet 😂
