    Did you have a switch there or just the filler plug. The left one is generally the limited slip rear diff and the right is the hill decent control. But that could vary based on your year.

    I think its vehicle stability control (VSC) and downhill assist control (DAC). I do not know if you have that and just need the switch. Maybe someone else can confirm.

    I think I saw somewhere that you can just add the switch.

    What's the DAC about? Wonder why my 2012 DCLB TRD sport doesn't have that. Hmmm.

    It wasn't an option for sports.

    At last years Overland Expo west we drove a $150k range rover that has the hill decent. It was smooth as silk and a really fun to drive. On the way home I had to show the wife that my tacoma has the same feature. She was unimpressed by the noises and jerking that my truck was doing down a pretty mild hill.
