    2013 PreRunner Double Cab SR5
    Hello all:
    I am new to Toyota. My company just provided me with a new work truck. It's a 2013 Tacoma 2.7 AT Super White Double Cab. Has convenience package, SR5 package, and a roof rack. I really like it so far. Have always owned GM and Honda vehicles myself. Seats are different than GM's, takes a little getting used to.

    I have a question: The truck is equipped with fog lights (as part of the SR5 package,) but there is no way to turn them on. ??? The manual says there should be a button/switch on the far left side of the dash. But in that spot there is a 'blank' cover. Maybe I am overlooking something, but it seems the factory forgot to install the switch (yes - I verified the fog lamps are actually installed.) What should I do? Should I just take it to the dealership and have them install the switch?

    Other than that (minor) issue, I am generally pleased with the truck. It seems to be a high quality and thoughtful build. It has lots of 'little' details included (like all the bed tie downs, and all the cubby holes and cup holders, and the touch screen radio.) The backup camera will be great for backing up to a trailer. It rides really smooth, and yet still feels firm and rugged, like a truck should. I do wish it had just a bit more power. Seems like they could get 175-180 hp out of a 2.7lt. (The '12 Colorado 2.9lt 4-banger has 185 hp.)

    Anyway, I like it and hope to keep it for many years. Just wondering what to do about the fog lights.

    Thanks in advance.
    Go Toyota!!
