    All tacomas come prewired for things other models have...

    Ex: locker traction control, etc

    There are a couple of threads about it :thumbsup:

    Traction control spot, right? Almost certain. Cause tje top is fog lights, blank, bed outlet. This row should have trac control, blank, roll sensor button. I might be wrong, probably.

    If they make another James Bond film, he should definitely ditch the Aston Martin and drive a Tacoma.

    Any reason the fog light switch is better to tap? If I can use that unused wire wouldn't that be better?
