What is this tiny tray for?

For Ranch and Spicy Ketchup from Whataburger

 

I can confirm. It’s almost too funny how well it does fit.

 

As I have no use for that tray, besides the above use for dog waste bags (wife agrees. Perfect place). I am not sure how I noticed this (my OCD).
Anyway, someone mentioned that it was the ash tray. I don't believe that is correct as I have seen on the Toyota website one of those ashtrays that looks like a Coffee mug with a hole in the middle.
I snapped this picture on YouTube & shows one factory use for it.
The cigarette lighter! Because the truck only has 250 already! I know they likely won't heat a lighter (different plug).
Anyway... my findings! Lol

 

Just looks like a ring sitting in there. Maybe a wedding band

 

Good eye!
I didn't zoom in. It was in a YouTube review video & I thought it was factory. The guy probably took it off as to not scratch the car.

This brings up a good question.
In other markets, where is the cigarette lighter in this vehicle?

What is this tray... lol

 

I thought that’s where all TRD off-road owners put their lipstick and eyeliner

 

I keep mine in the console

 

Yes yes! Haha

 

It's for quarters as mentioned.

 

Mine is way too big for quarters. They would just rattle & drive me nuts.
We bought a center counsel divider for change, loose items etc. $10 on Amazon.

 

I agree with you, I always put a rock there or chapstick.

 

That would be very interesting to see, remember back in the day's when they use to drop the Tacoma's to make them look like lowriders with Airbags

 

That would be a good idea...

 

That's what I see too

 

Yeah good idea, just trim off the parts that stick up and put the switch pro controller over top it all. Probably would work well.

 

That slot seems like a good opportunity for someone with a 3d printer to come up with something that adheres in the opening with 3m tape that holds a phone or something useful.

 

I put my garage door remote in that spot...

 

You high-fallutten TRD folks have your pen trays stunted by your fancy schmancy joy sticks. If you could only humble yourselves like us SR5ers you'd have a full length tray and no worries at all.

 

Actually, to an extent he is right.
After some Google images I found a picture of a long one.
It is the ones with the 4wd knob as opposed to the shifter. The shifter makes it useful (in terms of writing items) for golf pencils only!
Now I think we have all the ways to use "this tiny tray" lol
But wait, there is a pen holder in the arm rest... Maybe you do "put your weed in it" LMAO

 

That tiny tray is much to small to hold weed.

I need the center console to store my brick.

 

Maybe one big joint or blunt! LMAO
Not that I would know.
I saw it on TV once... lol

 

I like the way you think.

 

I have Homelink and I STILL use my garage door opener. I tried to program the Homelink to my garage once and it wouldn't work. I am capable of programming a DVR, writing PLC code in Codesys, and I understand basic English so I think I was properly following the instructions..

 

How old is your garage door opener?

Some of the older ones require you to press some button on the garage door opener itself in order to talk to the Homelink button. Mine needed to be done this way.

 

We just built the house a couple of years ago so I think it's fairly new..

That all said, the garage door opener programmed easily and works fine.. I win by refusing to play the game!

 

Well now I feel inadequate - looked into it a bit.. I have a Chamberlain garage door motor, there are special instructions to sync with Homelink that I didn't try before.. I guess I have a big project for today now!
