Did anyone know this?

So Found this out by accident, a feature I didn't even knew existed with Tundra console. After 3 years of owning it this happened to me one day.

did you know the console lid slides?
Just grab the handle for opening , act like you going to open it but slide it forward instead.

 

Pretty sure it’s mentioned somewhere in this thread

The cord in the cup holder is super distracting, I thought you doodled those to highlight that area; it took me multiple skims to realize what you were talking about. It now makes me what to go out and see if our 4runner does it!

 

When ever I get into a new to me vehicle, I start jerking everything around like a deranged monkey. I’ve had good luck with not breaking things and I usually find all of the cubbyholes.

 

The first day I procured mine... Its a cool feature..

 

Did not know this. Thanks!

I normally just read through the Owner's Manual to learn about my new vehicles.

 

Will be interesting to try next time I drive the truck.

 

I now know, thanks.

 

same

 

The way that Toyota wrote the owners manual puts me to sleep in about 5 minutes and I have spent a great deal of time reading through FANUC manuals.

 

Thanks. I will try this.

 

maybe im crazy, but i remember reading that this was only a feature in the earlier 2nd gens. thought i remembered trying mine, but idk that i pulled the latch up while pulling forward.

 

They have a piece of the saddle stretcher in there!!!

 

You are correct. My 2nd gen (aka B variant) doesn't do this.

 

Works in my 2010 DC - and I did not know about it until now. Thanks.

 

Anyone confirm this works with the 2.5 gens?

 

I just tried it in my 18 no dice.

 

It probably only works on the consoles of the early 2nd gens since the later models got different console design.

 

Yeah, , I think it ended in 2010 or 11. I know 12-13's don't do it.

 

I haven't gone to check mine. But what's the purpose?

 

I figured this out when I was watching videos to replace my console cover. However, I was not been able to figure out how to get the sliding piece back on when putting everything back together.

 

I scoot mine up toward the steering wheel for a better reach while driving. It wasn't very useful to me the way the geniuses at Toyota designed it but I padded it up enough to do the job.

 

Yeah, the top is hard on the elbow. I have a Lexus LS460. The top of the console lid is padded, as is the arm rest on the door. I can put my elbows on them and my hands on the steering wheel and drive for hours.

 

That's how the Tundra should've left the factory.I had to do the designer's job for the driver's side armrest too. With the extra padding on the console,it puts both arms rested and straight out to the steering wheel.
