2005 Tacoma TRD package features

Hello I have a 05 Tacoma 4 door TRD package no sr5 I have been reading about the HAC and DAC systems in the Tacoma . I've read guys talk about a DAC button.so I'm wondering does my truck have any of those features? As i dont see a button to push but i noticed on hills it holds me at 60km without a problem dosent gain any speed going down a hill.Thanks

 

Are you in Canada OP ?

and what you are probably noticing is engine braking

 

Yep.ya it seems like it..I've read to use the HAC u have to push the brake in harder I've tried that and I haven't noticed that?

 

You don't have HAC / DAC , it only comes on the TRD Offroad trucks which are not available in Canada in a doublecab ( 4 door ) , I assume you have a TRD Sport

Here is some info though

It has push button locking hubs I'm pretty sure it is. Even then speed gauge is mph on top and km bottom. Which is usually diffent

 

Oh , interesting , so it could be a US truck , but is it a TRD Offroad ? Does it have the Diff Lock button ( locker ) ? Is it a 5' bed ?

 

I had a 2005 Tacoma PreRunner with the Off road package.

I remember that the dash was pretty sparse...only traction button I recall was the RR Diff Lock.

The newer Tacomas with the TRD package I do recall having the DAC and ATRAC buttons on the dash when I sat in them (4x4 models).

 

Yep push button diff lock. 5ft bed

 

Oh OK , that changes things , if you look at the link I posted it will give you some info on the DAC / HAC system

According to that thread though , without a DAC button , you do not have DAC

 

Okay thanks. Its weird tho going down a steep hill you can feel the truck slow down and hold at a lower speed.

 

That's most likely the engine braking feature that the Tacomas have , a tap on the gas usually resolves that

 

Okay thanks for the help guys that was my first post. And you guys helped right away! Awesome website

 

Yeah, quite a few cars advertise that feature...my Honda has "intelligent grade logic control" which will detect an incline or decline and hold a lower gear for more engine braking/power.
