    While getting into the glove box to change the filter in my 2021 Tundra, I noticed a white plug that was disconnected just sitting there. Anyone know what it is for?

    Plug it in and it keeps your engine from failing.
    They should have put that in the manual. :D

    So my truck came with one and it was possibly removed? Or do I need to plug this into it somewhere in there?

    I don't know what it's for but I know the trucks come pre wired for every trim so for example a SR5 is going to have all the empty connectors for things that are only included on a platinum

    I'm guessing that should be positioned behind the glove box and not in it. However, the Pros are short of several possible options (electrically speaking) found on other trims such as limited, platinum, etc...

    My guess would be that it would connect to the glass break sensor (which you don't have) :notsure:

    Depending on the year of his Pro, he may not have heated seats either...

    Options on these things are kinda weird. Like my '21 doesn't have parking sonar, but the '21 Canadian Pros do :notsure:

    I have adaptive cruise, adjustable headlights, auto high beams, heated seats, but no memory seat for the driver... kinda weird!!!!

    TRD pros are just SR5s with a suspension, they don't have all the added electrical stuff that the 1794/platinum do.

    Mine is a 21 also and I have all the same things you said and no memory seat. I actually was aware that the Canadian model PRO had the BSM and parking sensor while the US ones didn't.....I dunno why the hell Toyota does shit like that.

    I'm pretty sure the refresh of the 2nd Gen is where they actually did the TRD PRO off the Limited platform and previous to the refresh, you are correct it was based off the SR5. At least that's what the guys on TFL have said.
