Things My Tundra Does That I Didn't Know...

I dont know if anyone mentioned this but there are two features I really like. Note I have a 2008 Cremax Limited.

1. The sunroof visor actualy changes position at diffrent speeds. When the truck is below 45mph, the black visor that pops up when you open the sunroof is fully extended. But when you accelerate above 45 to 50mph, the truck pulls the visor down into the frame.

2. You can turn off the automatic lights after exiting the vehicle. After you exit the truck (with the lights on), press the lock button once to lock the doors. The lights will still be on. Press the lock button again on the fob, and it turns off the lights.

Here's a new one...at least for me as of this evening.

The speedo works in reverse!

mxsjw,

Just don't try for the world record high speed in reverse!

Sanosuke!

I wonder what the Tundra's 0-60 time is in reverse

Think BS&E will let us know how the RCSB will do?

Now try the Cruise Control in reverse!!

Number two of the OP's post is true with every vehicle... Sadly, it took me a long time to figure that out...

OMFG. GREAT find!!! I live in NoCal and the summer's are bright and burning. I complained ALL summer to my wife saying, "All this money on a Crewmax 4x4 and they can't even make the visors w/an extension!" I went as far as adjusting my seat as needed...

Well, go figure that it would take me a whole year to find my answer!!!!

Just tried it while warming up for an oil change.

Nope, no cruise control in reverse.

Only you would actually try that . The cruise doesn't work in forward under a certain speed. Get it up to 30mph in reverse and try it.

Make sure to look at your MPG computer as well and tell us what kind of mileage you get in reverse!

Yes Maybe backing up will refill the tank. That would answer all the issues in this thread:
Bigger gas tank.

I did try it.

I tried in forward, 25 mph is the limit at which you can use cruise.
Tried reverse at 25, didn't work...so I tried again at 32 mph, still no go.

Too bad, I'm sure cruise in reverse would be a very helpful option

Did you also know that when you lock your doors using the keyless entry remote, and you hit the lock button twice in quick succesion, then that will also turn off your headlights.
