Does Toyota make a Tacoma with front obstacle sensors?

I noticed this in the manual.

"When multiple obstacles are detected in front and behind the vehicle at the same time.
"The buzzer will change in the following manner..., yada yada.
 
Mine has them front and back. That's what the Toyota emblem in the front is, the forward sensor
 
My 2020 sr5 has some crap that started beeping when getting too close to other cars. Got sick of hearing it so i turned it off. All is good now.:)

Somethings wrong with it, I never experience "constant beeping" in the city traffic. I'm sure I'd turn it off too.

Do you have lane change alert? Anytime you change lanes without using your blinker it will beep.

I'm an old guy. I haven't any idea half of the gadgets this truck has. It took me awhile just to learn how to turn this stuff off. The toyota dealers salesman didn't explain any of this stuff to me. Being close to the same age, he probably didn't have a clue either. I'm guessing i do have lane change alert, plus a few other things. Salesman did show me the power button that opens the back window, the electronic compass, and how to remove the factory tonneau cover. Btw, he never explained how the tonneau cover folds in sections and locks. Finding where those latch's were hidden were fun enough. I'm still learning what all the push buttons on the steering wheel work.

I hear you, took me several months to understand all the buttons and how things operate it, it will grow onto you the more you drive it and then be second nature. Enjoy learning while you're driving:D
 
When my wife got her X3 beamer they told her to make an appointment to learn about all the stuff the car does .for free ! So she did and the persons title is the" BMW Genius " every dealer has one .He didnt know everything my wife was not impressed LMAO
 
I'm getting to think some of these salesperson's just hop for one dealership/manufacturer to another depending on the volume of traffic that dealer attracts. I recall going to a ford dealer back in the 80's where i salesman introduced himself to me. When i started asking him about a certain ford van for our shop, he couldn't tell me much...saying he was fairly new here coming from a mitsubishi dealer.

When I decide I want a new vehicle I've usually got it narrowed down pretty close to which one I want before I go to the dealership. It doesn't take long to figure out that I already know more about said vehicle than the salesman does.
