In the United States: a plastic plug. In other countries: a hand throttle knob, kind of like poor man's cruise control or a way to keep rpms up when winching.
My Canadian market FJ62 has a hand throttle in that location, not that I've ever used it!
Mine too. I have used it but it gets stuck sometimes so new rule is to never touch it again.
Also can be used for maintaining steady RPMs when rock crawling or for hill starts
Yep. "Set it, and forget it!"
I installed one in mine. Use it all the time when I’m wheeling. Great for slow speed stuff in 4low. Keeps the truck from bucking at low rpm going over obstacles. Also use it for high idle while my air compressor is running when I’m airing back up.

I repurposed that hole for a switch that runs my auxiliary lighting on the front.
I used an FJ40 pull knob that I rewired. First pull is two lights, second pull is all four. Lots of uses for that hole in the dash.

I modified/used mine for a mag mount for my radio mic.
