Never mind. Got it! The ASS must wear out the starter a lot faster!

It's also just annoying for some drivers to feel the engine cutting in and out. Others aren't bothered by it.

2012 Toyota 4runner Trail Edition: 2025 4runner TRD Pro in Black ordered.
I would surmise that these wouldn't be used with a hybrid since the electric motor engages first from a stop?

Right, no Auto Start Stop on the i-Force Max Hybrid models.

ASS is only on the SR5 4x2, TRD Sport 4x2, Limited models

Here's an Auto Start Stop (ASS) disable tool for the 4Runner models that have ASS (SR5 4x2, TRD Sport 4x2, Limited models).

The 2024 Tacoma guys confirm that it works on their trucks.

Thank you.
Do you know if I chose to leave it, is it easily disabled? Just wondering if this has its own dedicated button or if I would need to go through a menu of options.

It's easy to disable auto start stop via the button on the center console. But it won't remember your last setting and will need to be pressed / disabled again everytime after you shut down the truck and restart it.
