Tacoma TRD ProRunner Concept Impressions

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 got to see the TRD ProRunner concept in person at SEMA in Las Vegas the other week, and wow, it was actually pretty rad to see in person. Toyota actually built this truck off of an SR5 for the concept vehicle, so it was a 4X4 truck with no locker, so I was mistaken that it was based on a TRD PreRunner. I did like all the TRD Pro bits added to this truck from the suspension to the iso dynamic seats. Also, the extra fuel cell was really cool to see as well.
