    -The little plastic divider in the farthest front cup holder on my '09 DCSB. It's supposedly "adjustable" with those little arm things, but if you make it snug enough to hold anything, it just pops back once you hit a bump.

    -The keyless entry fob. Surely it wouldn't have been THAT hard to make it a single key/fob combo...

    -The fog lights only being available when low beams are on. That's why I modded mine to come one whenever I push the switch if the truck is running.

    The back seats in an access cab. Awful to sit back there.

    Yeah I wish it had a longer range of movement. But it's better than nothing. Being tall I like to run it as close to me as possible so I'm not stretching to get at it.

    I also don't get the RSCA button. Seems pointless to me to be able to turn them off, but maybe it's something I'm not aware of.

    But I friggin love the clutch start cancel. That feature should be standard on all manual transmission vehicles.

    This I agree. It's the angle. I believe ToMoCo made it more upright (verticle) in the 2016.

    I use the drawer to the left of the steering wheel to hold my mints and sunglass cleaning cloth. The right side cubby is for my wallet.

    The 1.5 billion cup holders I find to be fairly useful. I bring a pre workout on my way to the gym and a water. I carpool and my coworker does the same...so a lot of cup holders is useful.

    What I find to be very useless...the "remove for larger cup" inserts in the center console. When you remove them its just a giant square opening. Even larger cups would just fall over.

    naw not even nearly that complicated.

    There is a "signal wire" that goes to any radio. That signal wire is simply a 12v hot that turns on when you turn on the ignition. So i have a simply SPDT switch, The center pole goes to the radio, the two end poles go either a constant hot or the switched hot like stock


    Thats a law that high beams and fog lights cant be ran at the same time... and has nothing to do with toyota.
