2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD OFF-ROAD (FULL Button Tutorial)

[@DirtSifter-te3qw]

Thank you for doing this. I just got my TRD Off Road today. Driving it home 140 miles was frustrating and distracting. The salesman gave info, but I got lost shortly after he started pushing buttons and showing how things changed. Now I have a resource this 77 yr old can work thru and review as often as necessary!

[@brianruperti]

Happy to help! 77 in style with that nice new offroad 😎

I have a 21 Trd OR, I want a new one, but I’m trying to make myself wait until the 25’s come out. (Work out any bugs, let newness cool down, see how the hybrid is…)

Get one asap. Traded my 19 taco for a TRD off road w premium package and best decision I’ve ever made

Do it just got a Underground sport so far no regrets

[@BrokenMachine85]

Solid content! I’ve watched many of the ‘24 Tacoma videos (my TRD Sport is arriving April 4). Most of the videos are garbage. Your videos are great! Thanks for posting.

Thanks so much you made my night!

i just got my TRD Sport today, this is helping increase the process of knowing what everything does haha

[@Stevenobody]

Red lines are helpfull when cruise or auto braking is on. Lets you know when the truck is breaking when you are not actively breaking. Great video

[@brianruperti]

Thank you!

[@hoseman10]

Thank you so much for this video! I have just purchased a new TRD Sport 4X4 premium hybrid and the salesman went over all the features very fast like it was second nature for him. I am going to save this video because you have answered everything I need to know and explained everything perfectly for me. I really appreciate this.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks for watching!

[@Youneednene]

Just got my TRD OFF ROAD TODAY !!!! NICE VID!!

[@brianruperti]

Congrats!!

[@FlavorTree]

My theory on it showing brake lights on the dash is it should show you if your brake lights are on during radar cruise control. There are times I wonder when my 3rd gen is braking if it's just engine braking or applying brakes as well.

[@brianruperti]

Ahh nice point

[@donayer5939]

I agree this is the answer. I find that red-line signal very helpful when using the adaptive cruise control.

[@timc8971]

Just got my 2024 TRD Off Road 3 days ago. This video was so helpful, I watched it on my tablet in the truck and you really covered everything I needed to know. Thank you so much for doing this.

Very informative Brian. You do a great job explaining things so people can understand. As a 3rd gen owner who loves their truck, I have to admit that I’m super impressed with all of the upgrades in the new 4th Gen.

Just got a gun metal silver and black 2024 TRD off road. It's really AWESOME 🎉

[@calvinwon5113]

Really good intro to all the features. I just bought this truck yesterday. Coming from a 2011 Ford Ranger, this thing feels like a spacecraft! I'm old school, so I'm inclined to disregard most of the bells and whistles. But honestly, I'm shelling out a ton of money on this truck. So I might as well take advantage of all the fancy stuff it has. It's all pretty cool, actually. But gone are the days when you could work on your vehicle yourself. There's no way I could fix anything in this vehicle without taking a class or something.

[@brianruperti]

Congrats enjoy

I just got my new Tacoma 4x4, and I really wanted more information about how to set the parking brake. I read in the manual that you have to lift the P button till you hear a signal that it's been engaged. Can you demonstrate that on your next video?

[@brianruperti]

Yes

[@Lao_bandido]

Beautiful breakdown. Really helpful

[@brianruperti]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GarrettGunter-uf8px]

This is an outstanding tutorial! I've been messing around with some of the controls to figure them out and learning about others with one-off videos, but your video really runs the gamut on the buttons, switches, and features with an articulate explanation of each. QUESTION: Do you think the TOW HAUL mode should be used with a heavy load full in the bed of the truck, such as firewood? Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together and share with us. This will surely enhance my experience and excitement about our new 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you!! I appreciate it. I think Tow Haul should definitely be used with heavy loads because to me that counts as hauling some heavy stuff! Here’s why: This mode will adjust the transmission shift points to improve torque, and will help control the load more (less shifting). It also will enhance engine braking, modify throttle response for hauling, enhance transmission cooling, and may even interact with the stability control to enhance handling with the load. My vote is 10/10 YES 😎

[@GarrettGunter-uf8px]

@@brianruperti Right on! And thanks again!

[@GabrielLopez-gi7oj]

The 2 brake lights on the dash actually show when the light bulb goes out, my driver side brake light already went out on my 24 taco and it would not light up on the dash, so nice little feature👌🏻👌🏻

That’s a great feature!

[@traceymunsell5029]

very nice video easier than the book.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks!

[@tjrenegade9807]

I think the red bars show when brakes as its part of the Driver Assist system. When the truck is actively braking on its own those lines show up, so they are an indicator for the driver that the assist is functioning.

[@driftx2]

Great video! I don't have the dual toolbar when using Android Auto. I need to go to the apps drawer and click toyota to get back to the home. Wish there was a button I can push to get back home quicker.

[@jtproz]

Excellent tutorial. On my fifth viewing, as I adapt to my new 24 Sport! One thing I can't figure out is simply how to pair my garage door opener! No buttons on or below my rear view mirror btw.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you very much. In order to sync your garage door opener I would look into the user manual. The quick reference guide may even have a small section about pairing it with your individual garage set up.

[@michaelkazarinov3384]

Hi Brian, thank you for the very informative and well-presented tutorial. I helped me to customize left and right content display areas in my 24 Limited. Can you help with customization of the center content display area also? My manual says (p.107) that there is option to see Map display, but in my car, I cannot see it and have no idea how to enable that option. Thanks again for your great work.

[@ERC-n7g]

Do you have a problem with you TPMS when choose this option, mine will stay while driving, but many times the next day it will revert to what ever is next on the this. So annoying. So times even when I put in park it changes. Other times it stays where I want it. Sometimes I start the truck the next day and it is fine. The dealer is looking into it for me, 4 weeks and no response. So annoying. Does this happen with yours? Thank you and great video Brian

[@brianruperti]

Hi you’re the first to mention this. On the GR Corolla we received feedback similar to this, but I haven’t experienced it on mine. Thanks for letting me know

[@KLSchultz]

Watched yesterday, very helpful. You had a question regarding the red lights when breaking. Just a thought, maybe they let cha know when a light burns out and one of the lights doesn't turn red when breaking.

[@brianruperti]

Interesting!

[@jdavidjj]

Thank you for your videos. They have been vary helpful. Could you please explain me the customizations of the lights. I’m interested in auto on sensibility. What can you change there? Thanks a lot.

Brian, excellent tutorial. Thanks so much! Your video helped me figure out a few things that I was unsure about. I got lucky and was able to purchase my 2024 TRD off-road recently. I was having trouble finding one at the local dealers. I am so pleased with my truck and am getting so many compliments on it. I am having trouble finding the right tonneau (tri-fold hard cover) as the dealers don't have it in stock yet. Any recommendations? I will be watching all of your videos on the other features of the truck. You rock! Thanks again!

I can rev the shit out of my engine now that I got it tuned, I can go up to 71 mph in 2nd⚙️ without even hitting the rev limiter!! haha
