I put the Vantrue Pilot 2 on my 2025 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter because I wanted to see what thermal could reveal on dark roads.
One field gave me a much bigger surprise than I expected. The real footage made this an interesting test.
But seeing something on a live thermal display is one thing. What does the Pilot 2 actually save when I park and walk away?
I looked at what the camera actually saved rather than relying on the live display. The result is in the full video.

Which would interest you more on a Tacoma—seeing heat at night or checking what was recorded while parked?
