Thanks for taking the time to show all Tacoma owners all the functions , I actually learned a few things such as radar cruise control . Pretty cool feature. 👍.
@@robertosola8624 it’s amazing man. I had the dealer install trd wheels, 33in tires and a leveling kit. Drives amazing, great technology. Only gripes is I test drove a trd off road, and ordered the sr5. So the sr5 doesn’t have some of the bells and whistles. No push to start, to wireless phone charger, and no heated seat. Other than that it’s perfect. I have the technology pack as well, the touch screen unit is very quick and connects my phone the instant I start my car, adapting cruise control etc.. very great vehicle I definitely recommend
Got a 2017 yesterday. I have found many videos skim quickly over the pictographs, hieroglyphs and other symbols unfamiliar to this retired mechanic, Thank you for a clear pictures and direct video shot of the switch faces and locations. You, solved a number of my questions, Thank you.
Thanks for this! I took delivery of a 2021 Tacoma TRD Pro two months ago in 🇨🇦 and after viewing your video I’m questioning why my Dealer did such a terrible job explaining these easy to understand details during their final delivery process. Add to that their complete absence of explaining how/why to deactivate Fob’s (which you covered in a different video) and it’s apparent they engaged in a half hearted effort.
Gerry. Lucky you. I just got my Tacoma two weeks ago. I was given a cheap dealer logo bag with all the manuals inside and was told to enjoy my new truck. This video was very helpful. I definitely need some help on the infotainment system.
@@wecromwell7927 for the arm and leg they sell these for….you think they’d take more interest in “handing off” the new vehicles to purchasers. They could take lessons from the Lexus dealer I’ve bought 3 SUV’s from over the years….professional, comprehensive and attentive is the best word to describe their delivery experience!
@@brianruperti I am satisfied with your video I have a Tacoma SR5 I have to be honest I am a low tech person I have to search videos to educate myself. I found your video very informative thank you.
Just bought a 2021 SR5. Love the truck, especially the real key. Learned a few things from this video. I set up my iPhone over Bluetooth, so I never would have thought to plug my iPhone in direct with a USB cord, and never would have found the USB plugs in the jockey box. Thanks!
Nice upload, so informative.....i learned a lot. this past saturday i purchased a 2021 Tacoma Sr5 with the 6' bed and i love it....... you kept it simple, looking forward to your next video..👍👍👍
The first video with SR5 info, most other videos are TRD OFF ROADS which I don’t care for . I like the long bed SR5’s I was gonna get a SR5 but do to pandemic and chip shortages there aren’t any SR5 with long beds this year, hopefully later this year there will be 2022 taco’s SR5’s with long beds. Liked your video
Thanks for this kind of video. I wish I had these for all my cars. I’m waiting for my new SR5 being built in a couple of weeks and I’m super excited to take delivery. Very practical video. Thx
Thanks! For remote starter you will have to install one. I’m pretty confident the Audio plus and Premium Audio were not on the SR5s (which in most Toyotas come with a trial of Remote Connect)
@@brianruperti I got a 2022 Sport V6, Lunar Rock. I actually got a manual transmission, which is probably the only reason it was still on the lot, but I prefer a manual anyway.
@@brianruperti Thanks man. Forgot to mention I also got the access cab, which was another preference of mine, since I rarely have more than one passenger and I like the 6' bed. I basically just randomly did an inventory search at a local dealer and this one came up and checked all my boxes. It was literally the only new Takoma they had on the lot, and I bought it the next day. Very lucky. Unicorn indeed.
On my 2018 sr5 the passenger air bag on light always stays on whenever someone sits in the passenger seat. Is there a way to turn that off or reset it?
Bought me a SR5 4x4 last month and now I know what buttons to press… thanks … when do I used the 4H and 4LO … it’s rains a lot here at the PNW and pretty soon it’s gonna snow… maybe you can do a tutorial on that part.. thanks again for the video.
Hey congrats on the truck and thanks for watching. 4H is used for snow. I wouldn’t recommend in the rain. Unless it’s rain/snow mix. 4L is used for very slow speeds under 25mph and deeper snow, mud, rock etc. slow rock crawling is in 4L. Going up or down extremely steep hills is 4L at low speed. Hope that helps.
Hey Brian, Brother I need your help again please. How do you change F to C on inside climate control on display..? I am not asking out side. I need to know how to switch F to C on A/C Display.( Above the AC knob.)
Hey yes I got you. Hit menu next to screen, Then setup>vehicle>customize vehicle>AC Or use arrows on steering wheel do go to settings menu on MID, then units, F/C I hope that helps
At 4:34, your fuel economy screen shows "tank average" and "current." My Jan 2021 Tacoma shows "current" on top and below. Is there a way to change this? I've tried the meter control switch as noted in the User Manual, page 102, but nothing happens.
Thanks! There isn’t a setting, but if you go to www.superbrightleds.com you will be able to buy replacement bulbs that will light your interior up like never before.
Good observation. Didn’t even notice that one. The only thing I can think of is that for new vehicles, there might be a part of the PDI process or even from the factory that the mileage is reset after the test run of the vehicle before shipment and that the trips were not reset. But that’s just a guess.
@@freddubois5401 So at night time when the screen is a little bright for my eyes I can turn the screen off to ease the eyes, but still listen to music!
The scrolling vents, similar to my Toyota Matrix, is the best design of any vent I have ever used. Why Toyota doesn’t use this throughout their lineup is a mystery.
I agree. And likely because they want to add variation to keep people interested. I will add, the square vents are also nice because you are able to adjust air flow without changing direction, unlike the scroll vents which change direction as you reduce airflow. But to each their own!
If you’re a serious off roader, terrain select and crawl control would be desirable. Or if you want to skip the horrendous shifting of the automatic transmission, a manual transmission would be desirable. These are all available on the trd off road/pro. However, the limited is a waste of money, I’ll agree with you on that one.
