Hey Brian- Just wanted to thank you for such an easy and comprehensive intro to the dash. Just picked up a 2023 Tacoma 4x4 TRD Off Road, Lunar Rock. You covered 10 times more than my salesman did. Brought my laptop into my vehicle and paused a few times until things sank in. Well done!
Hey Sean thanks for dropping by to share this. This made my night! So happy my video helped you and big congrats on your new Tacoma TRD Off Road! Great color too! Be sure to check out my ownership reviews 1 & 2. # 3 coming soon 😎
This is the most thorough dashboard button review I've seen yet. It's been so helpful since I purchased my used 2023 Tacoma 4x4 Off Road. I really appreciate it! Thank you!!!
Thanks so much.. I jut picked up a 23 trd sport yesterday and coming from a older car I was a bit overwhelmed with all the buttons and features that are Infront of me. this helped alot.
I feel like I'll watch this many times before all the features are used properly. Just got a 2023 Toyota Tacoma after driving a 2006 Tundra for many years and this this thing is like learning a new language. Thank you, great information!!
EXCELLENT video!! I am so grateful for this video. I purchased a 2021 Toyota Tacoma Trd off-road I didn’t have a clue how to use some of the features. I do now! Thanks again!
Brother, You thank you thank you THANK YOU! I just bought a 23 Tacoma and being an older guy, all these Buttons, knobs and Dials were just overwhelming. Even reading the manuals, I just didn't understand a lot of it( especially the Crawl Control system and Screen). It was just too much stuff.. Your Video made it all so much easier for me to understand. Thank you again from an appreciative. Old guy! 🤘😁🤘
Great job! very thorough, but I think you missed one. If you turn off the truck. The radio and windows and fan all turn off. What if you want to sit in the truck when it is off but want to listen to the radio. * Push the START button without pushing the break. The radio will now be on while the truck is off. * Push the start button 2x to turn it off. IF you want the windows and fan to work as well. *With Gear in neutral. Turn off the truck with the start button. Then shift into park. It will all be on. *To turn off. Push the start button again.
Awesome content outstanding video. Best video I've seen so far on the Tacoma. Very informative. Informational, thank you sir. Appreciate your work. Very helpful. You rock! Definitely will be subscribing
Amazing job brother 👍🏽 my taco didn’t come with a manual. Your thorough visual and audible video saved me hundreds of days reading a manual. Thank you 🙏🏾
This video should be used by every Toyota dealer, well done . But then every sales person every delt with at Toyota doesn't has the IQ to even understand this video. Again well done excellent.

Fantastic and informational video. Please address the high beam manual option. The button that is down on the left prevents manual high beam option. Thanks!
Very informative thanks;! I just got my 2023 off road , and I love it but I’m still not sure 🤔 how to use accessory with push button starting . Other than that I’ll be watching this video about 50 times ! So much information ! Ben living in the 90 es with my jeep and ranger ! Thanks again!!
Congrats! Accessory mode you hit the push button start once without pressing the brake, radio comes on. Do it a second time without brake and climate comes on as well.
Great video, Brian! I have a 2022 Trd Tacoma….my issue is when I have Apple CarPlay on, and I have a destination that I am going to in the Map section, the volume voice is really low…I need to find out how to increase the volume of the voice giving instructions as it is set at a very low volume….If you have your radio on, the map verbal instructions will drowned out and the voice cannot be heard….Can you give a quick instruction on how to increase the voice volume when you’re in the map instructions…again, thanks for your nicely done vid! Sincerely, Armand
Just got a 2023 didn’t want the non V6 for the 2024. Maybe in 2030 I’ll get the newer one. But thanks for this video the sales person at Toyota did not explain everything. I do have a BSM button? Will find out what it is.
@@alejandroTorres-dw4fq You’re welcome! There are a couple really good videos on hypermiling. It’s definitely a completely different mindset. It makes driving very technical. I squeezed 27.4 out of my truck. Then I went back to normal driving and spend a few extra bucks and actually enjoy my truck 🤷🏼♂️
Awesome video! Thanks for the information. I have one question, I recently got a 2023 Toyota TRD Off road . I noticed when I press the brake to perform the “push-to-start” I hear a buzzing sound ? I was wondering if that is normal? Thank you in advance!
Thanks for such a detailed explanation of all the buttons. I have a question on the cruise control that I didn't see being covered here. The lever where you turn it on and off, pulls forward, but I haven't noticed anything happening when I pull it forward. Is that supposed to do anything?
Hi, just bought a 2020 OF and to my surprise, i couldnt locate the traction control button anywhere in the vehicle, it auto disables when in 4LO but keeps intruding when doing serious sand dune offroading in 4HI it keeps cutting the throttle and applying the brakes in critical moments, pls help!!
Congrats! You should have a button on the left of the dash near the auto Highbeams button. Come to a stop, put it in park, press and hold the button (car symbol w skid marks) and that should do it. Lmk if this helps.
This was a great help. Thank you. I will play in again while sitting in my taco. I’m very eager for your 22 pro, as that is what I have. In mine I have a few more buttons than in this O R that you demonstrated on. There is also one thing I’m curious about. When sitting in the drivers seat, looking up at the roof, then is a plastic thing the same shape as a button. It looks like a button or a cover for something or like a decorative cushion button. If you are looking up while sitting at the wheel it will be on your left, pretty close to the door. It has lots of little holes in it. Well thank you again. Oh! One more thing. I’m fairly close to Canada so I’m wondering all about how to best drive on a curvy icy highway. Would that be the all wheel traction button? I’ve only had it for a couple weeks and I don’t drive it everyday. (I’ve driven it 5 times so far). I find that it is hard to make a tight turn when it’s in 4 hi. So I turn it to 2 wheel right before I turn into my driveway or a sharp turn into a different street. When I go skiing , I may get stuck in deep snow. Which crawl control terrain would be recommended for being stuck in snow? Again thanks so much. Sorry for the long length of this.
Glad to help. That may be your voice control microphone you’re referring to, but will check when I can. Driving in an icy highway with curves is the same for every vehicle, slowly and carefully. Remember not to drive in 4WD on dry pavement! That can bind up your transmission. Only use 4x4 hi or lo when you’re in slippery conditions. I’m assuming you know that. Very tight turns in 4Hi will usually be a bit bity. I only recommend driving with tight turns like that if the conditions are very slippery. I also go back to 2WD when doing very tight turns, as very tight turns are at slow speeds. I’m not one to try and K-turn in a snowy forest. But for those who do, the trans will be grabby because you’re locked into 4WD. Hence why it’s natural to want to go to 2WD. I hope that helps.
@@brianruperti yes thanks. I think you are right about that thing being a microphone. I did not know to never drive in 4H on dry pavement. I have to drive almost 80 miles every day. And about 35 miles each way is a curvy scenic byway that crosses rivers and swamps. So it is always subject to patches of glare ice due to the warm steam and fog rising into the damp bitter cold air. So now that I am informed I shouldn’t drive in 4hi, I wont and I’ll just continue mostly using my little Honda Civic with the front wheel drive. On days when there are snow drifts, then I will take the taco. But I don’t even go faster than 50 ever and closer to 40 for most of this stretch. Another problem is at my job I have to drive up and down a very steep and icy forest hill to get to the parking lot at the bottom where it is a hairpin curve. It’s all good though. I am learning to work with it.
Sounds like a beautiful drive! Yes on dry pavement do not use 4x4. I recommend checking out the user manual and seeing what is in there for 4x4 tips as well!
@@brianruperti do u have a 2022 TRD Off Road? The Toyota ebrochure sez it is standard. Pg 19 of 24 of the ebrochure. I couldn't figure out how to paste the PDF in my reply.
@@brianruperti I think I found the answer. Trailer Sway Control is automatic and is part of the vehicle stability control button. Turning that button off will disable TSC. If engaged, the truck senses sway and applies braking to a single wheel to stabilize the trailer. There was a brief description of this on p 26 of the Quick Start Guide truck manual. There was also a discussion on Tacoma World forum. But it seems to be a misunderstood feature.
Brian, I recently sold my 2012 Manual TRD Off-Road and it had a RSCA button to turn for Air Bag roll sensing and now this button is not present in my 2021 Manual TRD Off-Road. I have checked the owners manual on the web and forums and nothing is listed to denote it still has this feature in third gen Tacomas. It does show it as a feature for 4th Gen Tacoma’s. Could you provide insight into this feature in Third gen Tacoma’s.
Hello, as far as I am concerned it doesn’t have the ability to turn them off anymore in the 3rd gen, but I also have not received a direct answer either.
Yes, hold the cruise control button down for 3 seconds and on the dash, the green symbol will change to a symbol without the car and the arrow moves to the left. Now you’re in steady state (old school) cruise control
Freaking awesome video! I just bought a 2022 Tacoma yesterday and this is the first Toyota I've owned so very grateful for the explanation of all the buttons and stuff. Great job! I do have 1 question - do you know how to increase the volume of Siri's voice using the CarPlay app when she reads back text messages? I've literally tried every volume adjustment on the stereo itself, and I"ve adjusted the volume settings on my iphone. Other vehicles I have owned with CarPlay installed have let me easily adjust her volume, but in this truck I cannot figure it out and its driving me crazy. I can barely hear her with the road noise. I would be forever grateful for some help fixing this issue. Thanks!
Thank you. Sorry I’m not sure what it would be if you already adjusted the phone volume and stereo volume. Perhaps it needs a software update, then a disconnect and reconnect.
Don't know if you already figured this out, but try the volume button on your steering wheel. This worked when I was on a call and couldn't hear the person on the other end. I was turning the volume button like I do on my GMC, but that didn't do anything. When I use the steering wheel volume controls, it worked.
Damn…this should be required for every dealer when you purchase a Tacoma. Outstanding job!
Thanks so much!
Saved me HOURS! THANK YOU!
You did excellent, I would have never figured it all out with my 2023 Tacoma. Thank you so much for your time.

376 miles!? My 2021 only gets around 298 max after I fill the tank. That’s nuts.
It’s a TRD Sport
Great tutorial. These functions are similar to those in the Hi-Lux trucks we get in SA.
Thanks! The Hilux is a cool truck
Didn't know I could control the wiper speed. Thanks!
My pleasure!
Great review I just bought this truck today.
Congrats!
Thank you so much. If you have a video on the CRAWL feature as you mention, I'd love to know.
Glad to help! No video demonstrating yet but the crawl control is just a low speed cruise control for off-roading in 4W LOW

I've literally tried every volume adjustment on the stereo itself, and I"ve adjusted the volume settings on my iphone. Other vehicles I have owned with CarPlay installed have let me easily adjust her volume, but in this truck I cannot figure it out and its driving me crazy. I can barely hear her with the road noise. I would be forever grateful for some help fixing this issue. Thanks!
Thank you. Sorry I’m not sure what it would be if you already adjusted the phone volume and stereo volume. Perhaps it needs a software update, then a disconnect and reconnect.
Don't know if you already figured this out, but try the volume button on your steering wheel. This worked when I was on a call and couldn't hear the person on the other end. I was turning the volume button like I do on my GMC, but that didn't do anything. When I use the steering wheel volume controls, it worked.
Great Video 😎👍
Thank you!

Where did you get tacoma rubber rugs ?
Factory
Do it have any setting for the garage?
If it does it will be on the mirror
Good demo….Q: does the Tacoma have a tow/haul mode?
Thank you. No just hook it up and go
It recommends using the ETC button when towing.
Great job 👍
Thanks!
