I asked the service department regarding heavy towing with my 2022 Tacoma near Max capacity. The service guy said that he did a lot of towing, so coming from a good source that understands the Toyota and also Towing in general. He said with ETC on keep the gear shifter in the S position for local driving. On the highway at cruising speed it's okay to switch into the D position and let it go into overdrive. Back to S went off the highway and there will be speed fluctuations. For going downhill he said to keep it in S and let the engine do some of the braking. It is designed for engine braking. Pulse the brakes as well. Don't ride the brakes all the way downhill because they will smoke. Basically said to split the workload between engine and brakes for going downhill. I also verified that the gear shift in the S position is a gear limiter. Not a gear selector. It does not let it go above the selected gear but it will go below. They probably have some safety overrides.
Thank you for clarifying that the S position is a gear limiter. Because the one time I tried to use it I felt the gears shifting and didn't understand why it did so I haven't used it again. On my previous vehicles if you choose a gear, that's the one it stays in. And that's what I tried to do since I wanted to drive on the highway keeping the revs as low as possible but even if I put it in gear 6, the Tacoma will downshift to rev more and that didn't happen in other vehicles I've owned. I suppose that being a pick up with towing function maybe the gear S is more focused on that type of use, or maybe on the highway and thus make it rev more on overtaking...although my intention was to use it so that it does not rev since on my road there is no need to overtake.
For those unaware, the number on the dash when shifting manually is not "actually" the gear you are currently in. It's the top gear it will use while driving. You're basically setting a range. So when you pop it over you could be going 10 mph in second, but as you accelerate it automatically change gears up and down as normal but won't go past the top number on the dash. As that happens the number on the dash stays the same no matter what gear you are in. I had no idea that's how it worked but it's true. I'm used to my BMW where you are actually changing gears and the number displayed on the dash is the actual gear you are in. Which in my opinion is a way better driving experience. However that is not the case on Toyota. Maybe it's good for towing or something where you want to stay in a lower gear range? I didn't know about the hold for 6th thing but I guess the would be useful when transitioning from a hill to flat open land? Still wish it worked like BMW, it would be an awesome workaround for gear hunting.
I think 5 and 6 are your overdrive gears so its set to keep it out of those when first put in this mode. It will also hold gears a little longer in this setting so its good for driving roads with lots of elevation changes. I have a really steep driveway so I just set it to 1 so it will hold first gear for the whole climb - I do wish we had full manual selection as an option
I call it gear limits. Limits you from going pass that gear. Ov tune and kd max tune does a good job on the gear hunting. I have kd max and love it. Also one version of kd max has gear lock. It will act like a true manual without a clutch. It will eventually shift for you to the point of the engine stalling
The manual shifter is fantastic when approaching a big uphill grade. I like the 4th gear default. Works perfect. Gives the truck a nice boost in the 3000-3500 RPM range without fighting the automatic all the time. Easy to stay in cruise control as you pass by other vehicles struggling up the hill.
@@arizonahdtapia9341When u work 24/7 with ur truck and ur always in heavy traffic, especially here in California, u don’t wanna be shifting all the time, been there done that, it ain’t fun, you want a stick shift get a sports car for the weekends.
I use the 1/2 click on the turn signal all the time so the lane departure doesn't go off and it makes me a better driver making my intentions known. Folding the back seats down is GREAT when you've got a dog :-) so they don't fall in-between the seats. Love these videos btw
Yeah I've been doing the turn signal trick for years even in vehicles that don't support it, just kinda hold it right where the blinker stops but doesn't engage. I was actually more surprised to find out thats a supported thing in modern vehicles now lol
The only reason you shouldn't let it go below a quarter is because the bits of sediment and dirt will kick up in the tank when you go to fill it. That goes for all vehicles, not just Tacomas.
@@sethjansson5652 Yes. Fuel injected engines require higher fuel pressures than the older vehicles with carbs. Because of the work the fuel pump has to do, it gets very hot. The manufacturers put the pumps into the tank so that the fuel in the tank keeps them cool. It is for this reason that you should not run your vehicle with less than 1/4 tank of fuel. Once the fuel level drops below that level, the pump is not submerged anymore, and it then has no way to dissipate the heat. This will lead to premature failure of the pump... Usually about an $800.00 repair.
Grate info At 70 yrs old new tec is not easy, the dealer for my 2021 TRD 4X4 Access cab did not tell me much and the owners manual is not easy to understand, THANK YOU
I have a 2019 off road with a smart key. Smart keys constantly send out a signal. If you hold the lock button on the smart key and then hit unlock twice while holding down the lock button it will shut off the smart key. It helps save the battery and thieves can't pick up your signal so they can make their own key to your truck and steal it. All you have to do to turn it back on is hit any button.
@@TheUnrestricted I’m guessing he’s cracked up because you called the bolts “sockets.” Small detail, no worries. Curious though, why the emphasis? Are you suggesting the 10mm bolts come loose all the time?
Heads up dude, The S Mode on the shift knob is not manual shifting. It’s a gear limiter. So whichever gear You’re in on that mode, the trans will not shift above that. I use it in S4 for towing to keep transmission at a stable drive point for hills, and lots of others use it for low speed off roading so their transmission isn’t constantly hunting for gears when you accelerate
Yeah my 2016 Ram 1500 8 speed is that way, except there's no S on the rotary shifter, on the Ram you put it in Drive and press I think Gear - on the steering wheel above the cruise control buttons. I wish it had a M mode like the Ford super duty has where you shift it like a manual
You've convinced me to get a Tacoma. I still am having trouble getting the milage difference in milage between a 4cyl and a 6cyl. I'd love it if you can help me on that.
I think this is all in the owners manual pack that comes with the vehicle. The head rests pug into the bottom seat when it is folded up. Good vid for people that have a used one with no manuals in the glove box...or was that don't like to know read about their truck.
When you put the butt part of the seats up, there are two holes on each seat to put your headrests. Your seat covers were covering it, I think. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks so much man for a great video!!! I been thinking about getting a Tacoma for a couple years but you sealed it! One of my pet peeves is has always been the sun shinning in my corner of my eyes where the visor won't reach. That is such an easy fix I've never seen before. That with everything else, my search for a Tacoma starts today.
@@TheUnrestricted Thanks. One thing that has me stumped is the difference between the SR and the SR5. The SR5 is around $2,000 more but the only difference I've found is that the SR doesn't have delayed wipers. There has to be more than that, but I can't find anything.
Since you have the struts holding up the hood. You can take off the bar that usually holds the hood up. It is pretty loos in there and makes a lot o noise.
I'm not a Toyota tech and agree with you. Most of this stuff are common regular "features" on other vehicles. Gonna sound like a dick, but most of these felt like the equivalent to "this is how you open the door of your Tacoma"
I can do the Manual Shift thing (Down to 4th Gear) with my 2007 Camry XLE (V6) Also I use that 'Trick' to slow down my RAV4 Limited Hybrid when I am on a Slippery Surface. Since it does not have a B-Gear like a Prius has.
The cap for the gas tank was meant to be hung like that. Pull on it a little bit and the wire will catch on the black clip as intended. All the people that bought that ridiculous gas-hole are suckers! Thanks for the many tips!
Hey, I was almost one of those suckers! LOL. The dealer gave us a wallet with 2” of manuals/warranty info. Still working my way through it. I wish the gas filler door was locking. I don’t want to get a keyed gas cap, but I’m concerned about the unsecured fuel tank.
@@outdoorfrenzy : Can you explain what that consists of? My concern is malicious adulteration of the fuel, more than theft of fuel. I don’t see how anti-siphoning prevents the former.
Thank you for sharing, I had a 2021 Tacoma TRD sport 4X4 and I was getting 18 to 20 mpg, and I always put Microlon compound 90, Not the engine treatment, you get more bang for your bucks with the c 90, and you only treat your engine once, so after running it for a few miles my mpg jumped to 26 to 27 mpg, I've been using microlon since the early 90's, and when you put the microlon in make sure your engine is warmed up and after you put it in you want to run your truck for 100 miles at Highway speed, to get it burned into the moving parts, and you will be amazed your engine is quieter, and a lot better mileage. oops forgot you use 2 - 8 oz cans of C 90
What’s the speed limit on the road you typically drive? Ours is 70 or 80 depending, and I’m super luckky to get 16mpg, cruise nearly all the time on the highway. I have the OTT tune, no difference in mileage, dramatic difference in drivability, power, and throttle response. I always run premium and lately have been throwing in a bottle of Lucas fuel treatment with every full tank and the noisy injectors and DI fuel pump are a ton more quiet. Nothing effects mileage though. 🤷🏻♂️ I’d love to be getting 20mpg on the highway, 25-26 seems unattainable, that would be 10mpg more than I’m getting now. This truck is a ‘23 TRD Sport automatic, my ‘19 TRD Sport was a manual and got a bit better mileage. I wish this was manual also, but they were unobtainable when I was shopping. Anyways, would love some context about your average speed etc. Thanks in advance!
Long term use of manual shifting will eventually result in transmission problems. Not necessarily catastrophic but issues will arise. Yes you can use them but the engine was designed to be automatic. Use the gears only when necessary.
Where do you store your headrests when you fold the seats down? My 2020 has storage holes. Is there more than one cigarette lighter receptacle IN THE CAB of 3rd generations?
It’s a lonnnnng presses. You have to start with taking out your screws by your glove box, then by your gears and hand break, then it will come out after some more screws
In the 5th gen 4Runner, that S mode is effectively our “tow/haul” mode. Keeps gears longer and reduces torque converter slip by quite a bit. I use it on the highway to keep me in 5th on hilly roads and eek out a bit better mpg
Driving wise, is the sport more smoother compared to the off road? I’m debating weather to buy the sport or the off road. I do like the way the Off road more than the sport tho
yeah it should be a little smoother on the road as it only has the appearance upgrade over the sr5. you dont get the upgraded suspension until the off road.
An other tip, if you feel the ac Air is not enough, you can open the window, next tip, if is starting to get dark outside, you can turn your lights on.😂
My truck downshifted as i basically floored it trying to pass someone and it did not feel like it was good for the truck. Was rolling at about 45 and the downshift and then basically redlined trying to get up to speed. Its a brand new 23 sr5 with 3500 miles. Dont see this truck lasting long with that kind of performance. Didnt expect it. Should of used the ect button but im a dumbass. Will be more careful going forward.
@@TheUnrestricted I only got mine a year ago, and put less than 200 miles on it. I got my first (probably last) real truck in my old age. I had a hard time finding a manual---everybody drives automatics.
I’m in love with my manual Tacoma ! I checked everything when I took my baby home in feb ! 10mm socket is always missing ! 😂 what sucks if when I turn off my traction while driving in the snow it still turns on when I’m trying to slip and slide ! Anyone know how to turn it off completely? Tacoma is a beast ! ❤️
Can you show how to change the settings so the signal lever tap allows the signal flashes to stay on a bit longer. Also what is the default setting from the mfr?
I know the buttons on the left in the steering wheel controls the phone but what do the buttons on the right in the steering wheel control. I just got a 2022 Tacoma and Im worried about pushing them i dont want to mess nothing up not knowing
I hate it when I turn off the truck, open the driver door and immediately the Door Ajar light beeps and blinks. No shit I am trying to get out! Can you stop or delay this beeping???

I think the back headrests slide into the back of front seats.
Long term use of manual shifting will eventually result in transmission problems. Not necessarily catastrophic but issues will arise. Yes you can use them but the engine was designed to be automatic. Use the gears only when necessary.
Dude. When you lift your back seats, there are holes to put the head rests in. A tip for your next video. 😊

You won't need a 10 mm socket, it's a Toyota All you need is to change the oil.
It's not extra paint it's call rock chip guard. It's a rubberized spray that goes on before the base coat and clear

that bringing all the back seats down doesn't work if you're a tall guy and need the driver's seat all the way back.
Yeah true
What’s the best car phone holder that works best with the tacoma?
Driving wise, is the sport more smoother compared to the off road? I’m debating weather to buy the sport or the off road. I do like the way the Off road more than the sport tho
yeah it should be a little smoother on the road as it only has the appearance upgrade over the sr5. you dont get the upgraded suspension until the off road.
What seat covers do you have? Can you do a review on them?
Sure thing, there in the description
DANG THAT LAST ONE I NEEDED
Yessss mam 😁
How did you get your touchscreen white? Is it through the settings or display mode?
Yes! Check your day time mode
Nice video just got my 2017 sr5 and loving it bro. Btw I caught that flag 🇵🇸😎 falastini gang
YESSSSSIR🔥❤️
If you hold the cruise on/off button in for 3 seconds it will turn Off radar and change it to normal cruise.
Ohhh true thanks
If you have Toyota 360, you can change the truck graphic on the screen to match your actual truck color. YT video by Les K.
Great Review
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
The ripple looking effect on the bottom of the doors is actually a decal 😎
We’ll not stock from the factory, but maybe some people add a decal there
On my Predator package it is a decal. Difficult to see unless the sun is at the correct position.
Do you have a tint film on your headlights or which ones do you have? They look awesome
I got them on Amazon
@@TheUnrestricted oh okay just wasn’t sure since the ones linked don’t look smoked. Thanks!
The center hood latch is a good place to prop up the hood before you get your hood mods
ooo thanks
so it doesn’t go into the displayed gear per say… that is just the highest gear it will reach
I've had my Taco 5yrs now noway im going to learn anything new from this video....pass the crow TY for the videos!
Hey Is that a 10.mm in ur pocket

Link in bio
Did you know the radio too. Change color, in the menu you can see it.
Oooo
I’ve managed to squeeze in and sleep on that flat space in the back with the seats folded down
Oh wow! Haha impressive
The BHLM looks great on your MGM Tacoma.
Thanks brother
An other tip, if you feel the ac Air is not enough, you can open the window, next tip, if is starting to get dark outside, you can turn your lights on.😂
Hey guys if I think some more tips I'll be posting later. 😂
12mm for the factory tonneau cover and i take that off way more than my doors.
thanks for the tips and i'm getting hood struts next Mod!
Haha sick man love it!
My truck downshifted as i basically floored it trying to pass someone and it did not feel like it was good for the truck. Was rolling at about 45 and the downshift and then basically redlined trying to get up to speed. Its a brand new 23 sr5 with 3500 miles. Dont see this truck lasting long with that kind of performance. Didnt expect it. Should of used the ect button but im a dumbass. Will be more careful going forward.
Your head rests for the back seats go into the bottom of the seats when there folded down
Oh dang Thank you!
I need an equivalent channel for Gen-1s---especially manuals.
Ah true, make one 😁
@@TheUnrestricted I only got mine a year ago, and put less than 200 miles on it. I got my first (probably last) real truck in my old age. I had a hard time finding a manual---everybody drives automatics.
Got mine but doesn’t have a handle on the drivers side where the side airbag is
yeah unfortunately
I liked the falastini flag bro peace!!
🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️❤️
I’m in love with my manual Tacoma ! I checked everything when I took my baby home in feb ! 10mm socket is always missing ! 😂 what sucks if when I turn off my traction while driving in the snow it still turns on when I’m trying to slip and slide ! Anyone know how to turn it off completely? Tacoma is a beast ! ❤️
Haha fr! Not sure thanks
Press and hold the TC button
@@Bikes_N_Adventure I’ve already tired that
You have to press and hold it for either 3-5 seconds. I'm pretty sure you have to be stationary when you do it.
@@4KOutdoors I’ve tried that . It shows it’s off but it still kicks in .
Can you show how to change the settings so the signal lever tap allows the signal flashes to stay on a bit longer. Also what is the default setting from the mfr?
The flash is pre set. Not sure about the mfr
Hola, favor podrían enviarme una fotografía del Autohadesivo delantero por el certificado de catalyst toyota tacoma 2018 bencinera. Gracias

@@TheUnrestricted you’re welcome
Thanks!

I’ve slept in the back with the seats folded down camping
I know the buttons on the left in the steering wheel controls the phone but what do the buttons on the right in the steering wheel control. I just got a 2022 Tacoma and Im worried about pushing them i dont want to mess nothing up not knowing
the right side buttons on the steering wheel are for the dash controls. speed, avg speed, distance, etc. i just got a 22 tacoma myself the 27th.
@@bradykline506 You bought 27 2022 Tacoma's??.. LOL.. JK...
I think he meant on the 27th of the month
@@TheUnrestricted LOL, I know.. I was kidding!...
I hate it when I turn off the truck, open the driver door and immediately the Door Ajar light beeps and blinks. No shit I am trying to get out! Can you stop or delay this beeping???
