What is this thing?

So we bought a 2017 Tacoma for my wife a couple of weeks ago. Found this plastic thing in the backseat. We have absolutely no idea what its for or where it goes? If it is even for the truck? Anyone out there know?

 

GOES IN THE GLOVE BOX

 

It’s a shelf that goes in the glovebox

 

ITS A SELF FOR THE GLOVE BOX

 

PRO TIP: IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE CABIN FILTER YOU WOULD NEED TO TAKE THAT OUT IN ORDER TO OPEN THE COMPARTMENT WHERE THE AIR FILTER IS

 

Looks like the glove compartment shelf.

Not near my truck now to compare but that might be it.

 

Wow this was fast! Thanks everyone! Definitely don't get this kind of support from the Duramax community lol.

 

we are like zombies we look for new post and feed on the healthy

 

like in the movie world war z with brad pitt.

 

Just put it in the glove box. Thanks again everyone!

 

make sure you make it snap in. takes a little effort to make it happen.

 

Yup, she snapped right in!

 

This place CAN be great resource OP, you just need to wade through all the "buyers remorse" threads first.

BTW, sharp truck in your avatar and welcome to TW.

 

hahahahaha in that thread its smitty $100 says it is

 

LMAO I was just reading a buyers remorse one hahaha!!! We traded my wife's 2012 Camry for the Tacoma and we both love it! Its a great little truck! My only "complaint" would be that the truck will "surge" in RPMs when in drive and idling through a parking lot or when backing into a parking spot. BUT it seems to only do it when you are turning the wheel. Which make sense to me as the engine must be needing to increase the RPMs for the power steering. IMO 600ish is a low idle for a gas engine.

 

The computer is increasing the idle speed to compensate for the additional load placed on the engine due to the power steering pump. Will do the same thing if you turn on the A/C or defroster. This is a common complaint with many new vehicles irregardless of make/model. Some makes/models do this worse than others.

 

I use that what you call the surge, when parking i turn the wheel and it makes the little RPM increase for a split second, i use that to make the wheels turn slow instead of using the throttle.

 

Yeah I have a little bit of sense (not alot) so thats what I figured. We weren't worried about it. Gotta say that it did catch me off guard at first but I drive a Duramax diesel, it never needs to increase RPMs for anything, not even the AC.

 

that happens too when the Air conditioning is on it'll increase rpms for idk 2 seconds then idles back to normal. doesn't bother me.
why fix something that anit broke ya know?

 

Yeah it doesn't bother me, just surprised me at first. It is much more noticeable with an aftermarket exhaust. Don't think I really noticed it with the factory exhaust.
