3rd Gen TRD OR Driving Tips

Hello!

I am a proud new owner of a 2020 TRD Off-Road. I wasn't necessarily targeting getting the OR model when purchasing but it was the best deal for me at the time! I do some light trails for camping trips and lots of snow driving in the Winter in Salt Lake City and elsewhere in the Mountain West.

I now have lots of features such as crawl mode, MTS, VSC Off, Locking diff, and probably more that I don't really know when and how to use! Lots of buttons, but they only really matter if the user knows the correct time to use them. If you guys have any tips for me to help me be a more prepared and educated Tacoma driver in various conditions, I'd really appreciate it!

But no really...have a spin through the manual, especially in regards to the features you mentioned. Mine didn't have as much being a standard transmission. Locker will only fire in 4low unless there is a new mod for them. I don't know that I ever turned off the VSC. There are two 'offs' for the traction control.

Have fun!

 

The crawl control was surprisingly noisy, but I found the CC most helpful coming down icy slopes on snowy mountains down in AZ.

 

Until you overbuild it, don't be beating on it, especially the front end. Take it slow and easy.
