I haven’t tried your trick of enabling TOW/HAUL mode to max out the hybrid battery. I’ve found SPORT S+ works just as well for maximizing the charge level. I run SPORT S+ mode essentially all the time because I’ve found that it both maximizes battery charge and delivers the best gas mileage...

I’m mildly surprised this hasn’t been mentioned here before. The best mode for my Hybrid Limited for both gas mileage and maintaining a high battery level is Sport S+. No joke. While I haven’t been collecting the metrics like some on this thread, my observations consistently show higher gas...

There’s an easier solution. This will sound weird, but it really and truly works: The antenna on your key fob is onmidirectional by design. Focus it by placing the top of the key fob under the center of jaw, open your mouth, point your mouth towards the truck, and then click the lock/unlock...

The HUD will show turn-by-turn directions if you use Apple Maps. They are quite handy. I’ve also enabled the lane departure notifications, but only because they look cool — kind of like the x-wing targeting reticles in Star Wars.

I’ve been waiting to post this until after all the paperwork completed. The title is accurate. Yes, this is nuts. My now-first 2024 Tacoma was involved in a “minor” fender-bender back in October. It was parked on the street. Another vehicle accelerated from stop about 20-30 feet behind it...

I always fully disable the climate control, the headlights, and the seat blowers when I go into “power plant” mode. This usually … eventually … shuts down all those fans, at least one of which is probably the A/C compressor. I also lower the windows and try to park in the shade. When I don’t...

Has anyone found documentation that explains which settings get what configurations for each of the default AVS modes? I haven’t been able to find anything of the sort. I figure I need to know what the default modes do to have any idea how I’d want to setup my custom mode.

I also bought my Hybrid Limited for the full-time AWD. While the roads here haven’t been slick enough to actually see it in use yet, I can report that all the other improvements over the non-hybrid make this one my most-favorite truck yet. The hybrid’s acceleration curve is nothing short of...

I’ll add that I was originally excited for SPORT S+ mode before I got the truck. Since getting it, I’ve found myself using COMFORT mode more than anything. Unexpected for sure, but that setting makes for a truly amazing ride.

I can confirm that my Hybrid Limited has AVS as standard and not an option. I double-checked this prior to purchase because it wasn’t obvious.

I guess I don’t understand. You could literally do any of these things.

They don’t. You have to hit the button to turn them on.

We have a Hybrid Limited which we absolutely love for camping. I’ve taken to calling it my “mobile power plant”. The vehicle doesn’t have a “Start” button. The button instead says, “Power”. It’s a clever touch. Once we’re settled into our campsite, I hit the Power button and then turn off...

@Odzter: Yes, when the rack is up and not carrying a bike. @Burgi: Glad to know yours works! I may end up ordering one. I should clarify when I said “permanently” earlier: I meant being able to disable the auto-sense such that it would remain disabled through subsequent starts until I...

Hello! Long time lurker; first time poster. According to the dealer, I am the owner of the very first Tacoma Hybrid Limited in Colorado as of a few weeks ago. It is my fifth Tacoma and without a doubt my favorite. Compared to my former 3G, this one drives like a Tesla. My only issue is my...
