Does the Tacoma have overdrive?
Cars have the button when your truck doesn’t because the shift lever on the car doesn’t give you the control to choose any gear like the Tacoma does. Generally you just get “D” and the “OD” button is the only way that you have to force the tranny to downshift that one gear.
When should I take my truck out of overdrive?
Overdrive improves fuel economy, and makes for less wear and tear on the vehicle when you are driving at highway speeds. Having the overdrive off is fine if you are driving in hilly areas, but if you are on the highway, it is best to have it on because you will get better gas mileage.

How many miles can a Toyota Tacoma last?
When you get to over 300k miles then it is worth looking a replacement clutch (if it’s not had one already), although when looking at owner’s experiences, some have the first replacement at 150k miles while others have gone on to see 200k+.
Why is my Toyota Tacoma not shifting correctly?
At higher mileages, (125,000-150,000) the automatic transmission may not shift correctly. This can be caused by the throttle position sensor being out of adjustment or a shift solenoid needing to be replaced. Typically the transmission does not need to be completely overhauled.
