Why is the 2024 Tacoma All LED Except for the Front Turn Signals? | Lasfit Small Talk

[LASFIT]

The 4th Gen Tacoma is here, and it’s got pickup enthusiasts revved up! With more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines, you can blaze down the road like never before. The 6-speed iMT is designed to tackle those rugged off-road adventures, and the smarter MTM system lets you keep an eye on everything around your truck. These upgrades fulfill every truck lover’s dream, offering utility, off-roading capability, and passenger comfort.

But amid all the performance excitement, there’s one oddity in the nearly all-LED lighting system: the front turn signals. Every exterior and interior light has gone LED, except for those. It’s like the front turn signals missed the memo about the LED upgrade.

Sounds weird, right? But it’s true for the 4th gen Tacoma. So... why is that?

Except for the top trim levels.

Why does Betty Crocker instant cake mix require you to crack an egg in addition to adding water? It is so the chef can feel some level of engagement beyond "just adding water". Tacoma is the same in that the owner/operator can feel a degree of connection to their truck when an incandescent bulb burns out and they can repair it themselves WITHOUT visiting the dealer. Look, Homer fix it himself, and didn't even have to crack the manual!
