Tacoma's Adaptive Cruise Control: How It Automatically Adjusts Speed to Match Traffic

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?

Up hill, down hill. And everything in between. Before now, my cruise control sometimes seemed like it stayed dead on the set speed.

Finally figured, that if the speed doesn’t reach your setting is because the vehicle’s sensor is detecting a car in front of you that travels at a slower speed and since it’s in Auto pilot it slows down for you.

Initially, I thought it was broken, but it’s not. It’s just a nice and unusual feature because most cars, old cars, don’t have that.
