    I'm not one who generally reads manuals but just got a 2015 and was bored waiting in the truck for my wife so pulled it out.

    Actually learned 2 things and haven't even finished it.

    1) Auto LSD Dont work in 4WD anymore.only 2WD. It did on my 2009

    2) in Entune I can pull up my call history by pushing the call answer on the steering wheel.

    Definitely. There are probably lots of little things to be learned from the manual that you never knew were worth knowing.

    I learned that any tire over 32" tall is pointless and posted it in the 37" tire thread. Wait, that wasn't in my manual.....

    That is good to know but in the manual it's says it dont work. says 2WD only.

    Also learnened that you have to turn the gas cap until it clicks.

    Oh the humanity!! I wish I'd known before I got the truck home.

    According to the manual, applying pressure to the brake brings the truck to a stop.

    Had I known this when I owned my 09, I likely never would have encountered the infamous Tacoma ECU Issues®
