Blank/missing switches on dash hero pack

[Economisto]

Mhh that's a good question.

Auto only, so the post above was correct, manual badlands gets you 5 of the 6 switches no matter what, and the auto gets you all 6.

Of all the complaints lodged in this forum, and there are many, I can get behind the missing hero switches. I don’t consider myself an OCD kind of person, but that bugs a little. I’d be good with dummy switches.

This is literally why I’m getting a Badlands.

Store some change in there if it bothers you, you would rather have a fake switch?

I would rather have dummy switches yes. I would never store spare change up there. Honestly don’t like stuff on the dash. Never have.

The highly influential “Ratties Rides” would not zonk this. In fact he would gush about how you fit a Twinkie in there.

I was planning to buy the 6 button silicon or rubber piece that goes on top and install the 6th button to something of my choosing.

I want the manual and that's screwing me out of the trail turn feature.

Yep . 6 total on the Badlands
Hazzard lights
Traction control
Trail turn assist
Front locker
Rear locker
Sway Bar Disconnect

So if you get a Sasquatch package on any trim do you get five of the six hero switches automatically?

I despise blank and missing switches on my vehicles. I've noticed some trims have only 3 hero pack switches leaving a large area with nothing. This is of course because of off-road hardware you don't opt for.

Do you think the aftermarket will come up with a use for this empty space? 2nd photo is from the OBX Fishing Guide video:

Just a reminder of what you didn’t get.

Tesla is the king of this! The upgraded sound system is a software update.

the heated seats are also a software update.

My wife bought a base SR Tacoma and had two speed wipers.

I bought her intermittent from Toyota and assumed I would have to replace the wiper motor too.

nope, just the stalk off the steering column, the capability is thete

Do you think that will be an option? If so I’m using my empty switch spot for the garage opener. That button will get used the most unfortunately.

There is one and one thing only that will perfectly fill a blank hero switch location (as a BL with MT purchaser)........ Seriously though, I'm putting a hula girl in the blank hero switch location.

Only if she's holding a pineapple pizza.

I dont think I'll be leaving the dealership with the 6 button silicon piece, but a year or so I dont see why not.

The dumbest thing in all of this, is that the open spaces are on the DRIVER'S side.

Perfect place to put your used gum.
