9 Toyota Tacoma Hidden Features You’ll Actually Use

[@jacobhenrytacoma]

ARE THERE ANY OTHER COOL HIDDEN FEATURES I DIDN’T SHOW YOU?

[@Tracy0525]

I would love to see how you display the dog hammock when you lay down the back seats.

[@Tattooclownfish71]

Cool hidden gems 💎 question where did you get that color what’s it called ? I looked on the 2023 they don’t have it ?😭😭😭

[@coastalcustomlure]

All the “hidden” features you described and more can be found in the little red books given at close called the “owners manual.” They are only “hidden” because nobody reads them. Cheers.

[@jackstraw4129]

I've got a new Tacoma coming in about three weeks. Your video was very informative. Thanks.

[@reyocampo10]

Here’s one that I learned about by accident… and love it! The lever under the steering wheel to adjust the steering wheel height, at the same time you can push/pull the steering wheel towards or further from you.

[@marvknox8196]

Here’s one I really like. While holding down on the 🔒 button part of your key fob, press the unlock button on the key fob twice. You’ll notice the red light on the fob blink 4 times. This shuts off the fob and save its battery life. And when the fob is on, it’s constantly (24-7) searching for a connection to the truck it’s set up for. So best of all since it is now turned off. car thieves can’t use a device that reads the fobs transmission from over 300ft away and download that info into a blank aftermarket fob and steal your truck.

[@gabrielreyes8476]

Uuuunless you have a manual, which comes with a normal key :)

[@jacobhenrytacoma]

@@gabrielreyes8476 That's a good one! I didn't know that. So do you just hit the lock button to turn the key back on? Do you have a push to start Tacoma?

[@RoccoReviews]

@@jacobhenrytacoma yes just push any button to turn it back on. This is good to do to your second key. It’s only for the Smart Key push button models.

[@jacobhenrytacoma]

@@RoccoReviews cool! That’s a great tip!

[@gabrielreyes8476]

@@jacobhenrytacoma No, it's a "normal" key. Manuals do not have a push to start unless you opt for that package at the stealership. Rarely do I use the keyless part of the key, I just lock the doors old school style.

[@pacospete4299]

I don't live under a rock BUT when I noticed the prices of new trucks 3 yrs. ago just before I bought my 06 Tacoma.....I was blown away. You literally have to fore go your 401K contributions just to afford a new truck. My 06 has 200,000 miles with hardly any noticeable wear and I wrote a check for it and never looked back. i'd like to thank all you guys who need new truck for helping us middle class working stiffs out with the used ones .........

[@reyesrodriguez8811]

Well...I own an 06 as well that I bougth new and I am on 500 k miles and stiil drives like new.

[@tigerwoodz86]

I had been considering upgrading my 2015 4 cyl access cab, but you are right about the prices being crazy. I am not going to forego my retirement contributions to have a new truck. I decided that I'd rather put 5-10k into this truck to get a few more years out of it (only 70k miles). I repainted all black trim, installed new bumpers, new carplay head unit, new wheels and bigger tires. Moving onto the interior next. Already feels like a new truck, and there is no payment to be made.

[@livingsimpleandfun9812]

Used ones don't feel much better in price. Still 20k for an 8 year old truck with over 150k miles. Yes, I know they can go 500k, but you don't know the history of the previous owners maintenance. Used truck prices may get worse if they have trouble selling new trucks at the rate they used to.

[@PHUCKyoutube689]

​​@@livingsimpleandfun9812 Payed 30 for an 8 year old tacoma 4×4 v6 6' bed but it only had 53,000 miles and it was dealer maintained so I saw the records. Still way to much for an 8 year old truck, at least it has low milage.

[@livingsimpleandfun9812]

@@PHUCKyoutube689 yeah, my budget is under 20k but still hoping for a 2016+ next year. I hope things don't get too crazy. There are where I want them right now but work they would get a little lower. 16k would be a dream because I expect to sell my old truck for 16-18k and with a down payment it will lower my monthly, as well as my gas usage.

[@JDOG3BACK]

I didn’t notice anyone else say anything about it but in relation to the holding the squares on screen for Siri. If you press and hold the voice icon thing on the steering wheel instead of pressing it. This also activates Siri and keeps hands on the wheel. Love this.

[@atomkinder67]

Same for Google. I try to keep my hands off the screen as much as possible while driving.

[@patkap41]

I think that maybe you need the technology package to have that feature button in the steering wheel, therefore, basic model folks w/out technology package will use that Car Play feature. I definitely would, if I didnt have that button on my steering wheel

[@maryannelwood1594]

Does the odometer stem brighten the touch screen too? I have a 2023 that was bright enough to see during day, and suddenly I can’t read it. I’ve only had truck for a week and don’t know if I did something that dimmed the screen.

[@tonychaney6513]

Best of the Unknown features. I use Cruise control all the time but hate that when you get behind a slower car it automatically decreases your speed and then speeds up once you get around the slower car. So if you hold the cruise control button down a few seconds it puts you into regular CC and no longer slowing down and then speeding up.

[@johnb1658]

If it didn’t slow down when you got behind a slower car you would have to turn it off or hit the car in front of you. Dumb comment 😂🤣😂🤣

[@dmoi714]

I wish it was a little faster but that’s first world problems for sure lol. My radar caught a car that merged into a turn lane and decided it was gonna basically stop me as well before it noticed it left the lane.

[@chadthiem8371]

man that’s the most annoying feature on the cruise control. my truck has slammed on the brakes before because it saw a car merging into the lane 50ft in front of me

[@briancooney9952]

The adaptive cc isn't perfect. It's brake slammed a few times. But I'd still rather have it on. I'm always in traffic and I just set it to 65 and I just let it ride

[@xxxxMaddnesSxxxx]

yeah, the radar is not great. even the collision prevention has issues. I've had it flash brake at me when someone was halfway into a turn and I was well far enough away that i had plenty of time they would not be in the lane anymore when i passed. it's jarring to say the least

[@Rather_be_asleep25]

If you leave the bed light switch in the middle so it activates with the doors, instead of leaving it on and letting the rundown prevention turn it off, you can change the delay for the lights in the infotainment system. It does keep the cab lights on also but you can change it from a few seconds to several minutes if I remember.

[@401-Fishing]

Gas cap holder and the dash brightness. Thank you!!

[@vanessamae6219]

Literally me too I love my car

[@leebdj1949]

Don’t worry, give it time, and the many sounds of your squeaking, rattling dash will drown out your rear seatbelts anyway. I’m a Toyota guy, but my 2016 has the noisiest dash I’ve ever heard, starting from 20,000 kms, and twice as bad when it’s cold in winter. If you’re bothered by sounds, get ready to go insane, or leave the stereo up. Lol

The 2nd gen also has a lot of these features on the interior, in fact the entire rear seat of the Tacoma is exactly the same between the 2nd and 3rd gen. Nice having the fold-down seats with the hard plastic backing for larger items. The removable cup holders and the dimmable gauge cluster were also on the 2nd gen too, just in a more basic way. Toyota really thought through the interior design even way back in 2004 when the 2nd gen Tacomas debuted.

[@tommyboy0379]

Do you still have to remove the headrest just to fold down the rear seat ? Still has old fashioned twist off gas cap?

[@77ford20]

@@tommyboy0379 Yes, since the rear seat is identical in both the 2nd and 3rd gen Tacomas, you still have to remove the rear headrests. Not too difficult but I can see it still being an inconvenience. Gas cap still twists off. The fuel-door is pretty much the same on the 2nd and 3rd gen. Thinking of buying a locking cap or something. Would’ve thought that the 3rd gen would have a fuel door that locks by now.

[@scottschaeffer8920]

Oh!!!! I had no idea! I’ve owned my Tacoma for over a year and had no idea about several of these neat features-thanks!

Happy to help!

[@nickphillips4398]

I did not know about the coffee cup in the cup holder or the seat belt pockets in the seat

Well I am happy to show you something new!

On the 3G, press and hold cruise control to disable radar (adaptive) cruise control.

[@jacobhenrytacoma]

Ya I was going to add that one to the video but I am thinking about making a video about all the ways to optimize your driving experience and have that one in that video. What do you think? You think people would watch that one?

[@esd99]

@@jacobhenrytacoma yeah man. Just put the content out there!

[@jacobhenrytacoma]

[@tracydegon142]

you can adjust the distance as well so you don't get cycled back all the time .

[@sstritmatter2158]

Thanks for this. I really enjoy my Tacoma I bought a month ago. It's a year old with 17K miles and got a good deal - these tips make it even better

[@paulpierce4818]

Just encase it hasn't been mentioned, when you leave the door open when outside of the cab, you can turn off the chiming by pressing and releasing the light button on the door frame.

[@tonychaney6513]

Not all 3rd generation models

[@blauer2551]

I do that on my fridge when loading it up after a grocery store trip

I just bought a lightly used 2023 Tacoma TRD Offroad. Pick it up tomorrow! Love the inside tips!

Holding down the “voice control” button on the left side of the steering wheel brings up siri as well.

I know I forgot about that

The headrest and seatbelt topics are huge for me. I will use those a lot. Very beneficial

[@Greenhornet411]

Wow, great video. I have a 2018 Taco so thanks for all those new tips. You forgot to mention the tailgate key clip in the center console that holds your key. Although I don’t personally use it , it’s there to hold your key if you want to.

[@xpert1111]

can you upload a pic where this is?

[@donniemurley8812]

Can you upload a pic I'm interested in that feature please

You got me at the back seats flat with headrests relocated spot. Works perfectly on my 06 Tacoma

Awesome 👍 my first Tacoma still learning 😁

Hope I can help! Subscribe because I am coming out with a lot more cool videos about Tacomas.

You mentioned the dash lights dimming, but there is also the audio panel daylight vs night settings. Bring up the menu and choose display and it gives the option to either turn on or turn off daylight setting.

[@OfficialAing]

Number 9 is definitely my favorite, and made driving at night so much more enjoyable! Great video 😎🔥

[@jacobhenrytacoma]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed it? Do you know any hidden features that I didn't cover?

[@kevinwilkey4687]

@@jacobhenrytacoma how do you turn it back to the odometer reading after adjusting dash lights?

@@kevinwilkey4687 all you have to do is push the dial in. You might need to push it a couple times depending what is display your on right now. Hope this helps.
