Why doesn't my 2004 Toyota Tacoma have a tripometer?

I recently purchased a 2004 Toyota Tacoma for my father. I got it home and filled the tank, I went to reset the Tripometer to measure my gas millage. To my amazement there wasn't one. I have tried to search online to see if this is normal but I was not able to locate any information stating that it is a add on option by toyota. Am I missing something or what. Shouldn't it be standard on vehicles. Thank you everyone for your responses.
The odometer is not digital. There does not seem to be any buttons anywhere on the instrument cluster.
 
its the way they are designed the single cab toyota tacoma's 2001-2004 didn't have digital mileage or the tachometer like the extra cab and double cab models.

to clear this up 2001-2004 toyota tacomas did have trip meters in the clusters that were digital.

the non digital ones didn't have this.

this one has a odometer:

if you have the non-digital cluster with no tach like the above

non-digital one shown you do not have a odometer.

best bet is to write down the miles you filled your tank at.

[for example] starting 100,150 and the miles it gets empty at like 100,450 and subtract the two.
so 100,450-100,150= 300 miles to the tank.
