    The seats in my FR-S have manual height adjustment and it is perfect. If they did something like that.. that would be nice.

    Having a light behind the 4x4 selector switch would be nice. Only have 300 miles on my 2014 and find myself turning on the map lights to locate the transfer case selector when driving at night.

    Toyota does, and they have since at least the old 22R days.

    I drove an 89 2.9L V6 Ranger for a lot of years and the oil filter screwed up from the bottom. When I changed it I always had the badness running down my arm. It sucked because it continued to drip on the garage floor while I shifted around getting the new filter. The current design is very 22R-like, just more refined.

    Given the choice I prefer this way, but it's only my opinion. Why do you dislike it?

    Seriously???

    That is probably one of the most convenient oil filter locations I've had on a vehicle this side of a Cummins. How could you NOT like that? Is it too easy to get off? Too hard to put a container underneath to catch the little bit of oil that drains out of the housing???

    Ill second this. Had to do an oil change on a cummins not to long ago and omg what a pain compared to the taco. Plus the taco even has a little drain hole for a hose to put there. Better than reaching and doing crazy arm flexes to get to the oil filter.

    Tailgate is very weak! The tailgate should be one of the last things that you think about when building a truck but it is one of the first things that i think need to be fixed on these trucks if you plan on ever hauling anything

    Forgot the strength of bed rings I'm afraid to strap them too tight and rip up the bed. As far as the filter my dealer gives me free oil changes for life but the oil filter is even easier than the one I had on my 5.9 cummins

    I agree you'd think delay wipers would be standard..that said, change the switch, problem solved

    Compare to any Honda civic. You will cry with joy about how nice the taco setup is. It is amazing. Any time you have to remove from the bottom of the car your arm is covered and from the top shit gets allover the block and headers.

    I dislike no aux input in my 06

    And crappy fender and wheel well clearance

    It doesn't have 400hp and get 40mpg. Should be able to clear 35's on stock suspension too and have a front locker with TRD OR package. I think all of this is reasonable.

    Seriously though I want a big boy transfer case shifter.
