On a youtube video, I saw a switch to the left of the traction control switch that wasn't on my truck. Anybody know the switch function?

That’s the exhaust brake button (for diesels).

Yup, nothing on a gas engine truck for that switch to operate.

Ejector seat. Only available as a secret option for married men when ordering a truck. There’s a special handshake with the sales manager to confirm the option if the wife is present.

Mine functions as a denuralizer. When the button is pushed my wife forgets how to read a map.

Wonder if it’ll have my wife quit giving me directions to the grocery store that I have been to a gazillion times.

The symbol is a puff of gas coming out of a round hole. I'm scared to speculate what that might do...

There are so many jokes that can go with this statement…
