    I'm just annoyed at the placement of the hazards. I'm always hitting it when adjusting the AC knob.

    Am I the only one here who can drive my Toyota truck without accidentally shifting into 4WD, hitting the hazard lights, and freaking out over different switch sizes?

    if you want a shit-show of non-descript knobs, try the interior on a New Ranger.

    Nope, but these threads are entertaining. It always makes me wonder how people made it this far in life.

    I can do it too. Usually without ever thinking about it. Not sure why this is so impossible for some people.

    Same, not to mention the selectors aren't even the same style. Yes, they are both round, but the fan selector is far more textured than the 4wd selector..

    I'm going to be fearful next time I'm behind a 3rd gen on the highway, who knows what kind of chaos is going on in that cab.

    Video clips or it didn’t happen. Make a YouTube video with blocky colored font and then share it in a new thread. “Top six ways to drive your Tacoma.”

    I've hit the 4 way flasher switch when reaching for the fan speed control so often that I'm thinking of putting some kind of guard on it so that I have to hit it with my purse to turn them on. Never turned the 4wd knob by mistake though.

    Someday Toyota will get together with Apple and you will all regret your complaints. There will be no buttons, only a multifunction catheter.

    If it moves, and it's not supposed to, duct tape.
    If it doesn't move, and it is supposed to, WD40.
