8" Multimedia Touchscreen

Hey there! I have been looking for info on the 8" touchscreen and it has proven to be tough to find. Big thanks to Patroitpat for sending me a pic of his, which I added to this post. If you're interested in more info on 8", I found this video from Ben Hardy that did a very good job showing what the 8" screen can do in action, starting around the 6:34 mark. Many will want and prefer the 14" screen, myself included, but if I'm being realistic with what I want vs what I need, the 8" and the cost savings makes too much sense to me at the moment. Hope this helps other's that were also interested!

 

The 6:50 mark on this video shows the 8" as well.

 

I don't see a point, it seems like overall the systems are the same, one is just jumbo sized, maybe because its a part of the tech package you also gain all the cameras around the truck but to me they aren't utilizing all the screen space like they could. Case in point, all the other manufacturers who use big screens are making it so you can split the screen amongst two functions, not seeing that Toyota is doing this so largely this is just a bunch of wasted space.

 

Just my 2 cents opinion - Size is ok, integration is ok, but when I drove it - i felt like it's pointing to the large void in between the seats. Didn't feel like it was addressed to the driver. Maybe symmetry won for the engineers in front of the computer . Would have been way better to be angled a bit to the driver or positioned asymmetrical and closer to the driver. Also, you cannot have the multi view cameras with the smaller screen and I would need them, as the visibility is not the best with the very long hood.
