Purchased a Tacoma and have a question...

After years of saving, saving, and saving. I was able to purchase this 2019 Tacoma with 77k miles. Just barely fit in the parking space at work Not a 2024 but I love it! Quick question, what in the world is this nob that was installed next to the cup-holder?

I want to find out before I open up everything up to trace the wire, it does turn left and right but stops at a certain point. Thanks for the advice!

 

I doubt it is factory.

Nice looking truck.

 

Previous owner likely had subwoofer(s) in the truck. Looks like a bass knob to me.

 

Not factory. Possibly some lights interior/exterior, or seat heaters, maybe a theft thing. Can you remove the panel/console and follow the wires? Check the fuse boxes for add-a-fuse or check the battery for aftermarket wiring

 

Looks like a controller for a subwoofer

 

Who knows! Maybe you should pay a friend to push it while you watch at a safe distance.

 

Or have a lady friend pay you to sit in the passenger seat and turn it up! Previous owner may have been a freak Some people pay extra for heated/vibrated seats

 

And just because the thread made it 30 minutes without it, I'll do it..

 

When you turn the knob to the left it improves gas mileage, when you turn it to the right it increases horsepower. Just kidding, It's definitely aftermarket.

Nice truck by the way!!!

 

Either something audio or aftermarket trailer brake control.

 

Passenger seat ejector?... man that would be nice.

 

It’s a potentiometer, and aftermarket

 

Nice truck!

 

Oh how I miss Tacoma world comments Thanks for the info, I'll do more digging on the truck when I get home from work.

 

Shouldn't it have a dial around it showing the Richter scale?

 

Not if the dial was pulled off. It's the same deal as the tone and volume dial in guitars and amps.

 

That's the supercharger switch. Watch the first Mad Max movie, then you'll understand.

 

Of all the places to stick a switch....

 

I was gonna say, the knob fell off years ago

 

Put a nice TRD sticker over it, once you remove it....

P.S. Smart man getting an Off Road!
