    Stock but I use it anyway!!!
    Seats don't bother me cuz my last truck (frontier) seats were worse. Clock don't bother me, I just tilt my head. What's a seat belt? Oil filter don't bother me cuz I've seen worse, and I change my oil at work on a lift, not that bad.

    What bothers me is the joke of a back seat. Size and comfort wise. No room or padding. I feel bad when people sit back there. And the lack of technology. The cheap aftermarket deck I installed has more tech options than the whole rest of the truck..
    But I guess you could put that in the "less things to break" or "nothing expensive to fix in the future" category.

    Just figured it out. The Pre 2001 have a 2 bottom spoke steering wheel and the 2001+ have a 4 spoke wheel. It is the upper spoke they added that gets in the way.

    Definitely the oil filter location!!! The best thing they ever did was put the oil filter on top of the 4.0 engine!!! I loved that on my 06 Tacoma that I had. So easy to change the oil.

    I'll bring it up again... the "hidden" mid range feature for the stereo. Activated only if you push the right side knob for what seems like forever, and stays activated only if the stereo is turned off before truck is shut down. PITA I tell ya. Oh, and axle wrap x70 bazillion.

    You just push in and hold the right bass/ treble fad/ balance knob for at least 20 seconds and you have a mid range for your stock stereo. A lot of people never even knew it was there. It's a nice option

    Interesting. I had no idea. Will test out tomorrow and see how much of a difference it makes.
