We apologize for your concerns with the lack of an available switch

Tacoma and Tundra have the capability to switch between English and Metric
units.

testing, and constantly monitoring performance. Consumer opinion and
perception also play an active role in our ongoing efforts to lead the

I'm looking for a new car but all your cars have displays that give
Fahrenheit only, why does Toyota assume everyone wants Fahrenheit? This is
a free country, Federal Law states that the metric system is the preferred
system for the US, why can't Toyota make a vehicle where I can get metric
units at the flip of a switch as is done in GM vehicles?
