I was just thinking that looked exactly like how I remember my 2004 Tacoma! It was the funky handbrake (I think?) on the right side that reminded me of it.
I miss that truck.
great damn trucks. i love that it's old enough to drink, but still more reliable than half the shit on the road made in the last 10 years
My ride is old, so I don't have to remember.
Seems like just yesterday...
3 cars ago, which is probably 15-20 years ago, I had a car with a climate control thing that I never had to touch. It was set to comfort or something, warms me up when it's cold, cools me when it's too warm, turns on AC or heater as needed. Even my friends brand new car can't seem to do that.
When got our first family car, it was like sitting in a space ship. Sooo many buttons and nobs!
Makes me miss the old 97 ranger. 5+OD speed. Loved that baby
I still daily drive an ‘09 Ranger with a manual. I’ve had multiple people come up and ask to buy it.
I drive a 2010 Ranger.. it looks like this.
I put an android auto radio in my 17yo truck and a 1500w inverter, only things I wish I had was heated seats, heated steering and 4x4.
I would love to get a new truck with these features but I'm concerned that getting those few things would mean having to deal with all of the bullshit of modern cars. Plus spending twice as much as I paid for my current truck that still essentially just moves me from point A to point B.
You could add heated seats and steering with third party addons. Much, much cheaper than buying a new truck. The 4x4, not so much.

Yeah but it could move you from point A to B nicely
The problem is that it's fighting against gluing a giant iPad to the dash, which just hides all the complexity behind a pane of glass so that it -looks- simple when the car is off.
With this setup, once you learn how it works, you can do just about anything with only a cursory glance away from the road to double-check your proprioception.
In 2026 that’s way to much tech for me, if I need to drag out my OBD2 code reader it won’t be a car I’ll drive
Hey grandpa, what does that "push button & turn" thingy do? Handbrake?
Not sure if joking so I will answer genuinely.
It’s a hand brake. You pull it towards you to engage it. It made loud clicks noises all the way. Then you pull it a little toward you and turn it down, pushing it all the way back in to disengage it.
Edit: adding a link to a YouTube video showing it in action
I've just never seen one like that, it has always been on my right hand side in every car I've had.

Isn't there another handbrake in the engaged position covering the gear knob? (Which I'm guessing is automatic)

Thanks for the explanation. I had the same question, been driving since the early 90s but I never saw a handbrake like that.
I thought it might be a choke and was confused seeing that in such a new car.

Fuck, man. I want a tape deck in my car again. That thing was incredibly useful. Keep a tape in the car just in case, but otherwise it’s an aux plug.
