    What does the manual TRD Off Road roof console look like?

    I really prefer and enjoy driving manuals, but I also really like the gadgets that are included with the auto version of this truck.

    A photo of my interior on day 1. The shifter back is the same between the trucks.

    You lose the MTS / Crawl feature, push button start and the ability to add JBL audio but the other stuff is the same.

    You lose the crawl control gimmick (that pretty much just imitates 1st gear - 4 lo) and the push to start system, which shouldn't be an issue unless you have a limp wrist you can't use to turn a key.

    The over head has the locker button and the ATRAC button where the crawl control is for the autos

    In a big way. Stay away from the automatic for now.

    I wonder why there is no push button start in the manual. No reason there couldn't be.

    Because it has the Clutch Start Cancel that lets you bump the starter in 4LO to act as a crawl control sort of feature. It's hard to bump the starter with a button.

    Guess that makes since. It's a shame though, I love the push button.

    Toyota could have programmed the button to function as Push and HOLD to start. That's how the starters function on our work trucks.
