I want a keyed ignition

Someone please make a kit to use a regular key to operate these trucks... I hate the idea of a key fob getting damaged or a battery dying in the middle of nowhere

 

If your fob battery dies, you can press the fob up against the start button and the truck will start.

 

Or leave the valey key somewhere in the truck

 

Buy a Tacoma with a Manual Trans, it has a key.

 

me no like technology

 

Win two ways.

Transmission that doesn't shift with only maximizing mpgs in mind, no overheating, no downshift lag on corner exit, pleasantly surprise new passengers, roll start possible

No crazy button to start your truck, roll start possible, turn the truck off an coast stealth mode

 

I hate lots of ideas too, OP.

 

I hated mine at first but it's grown on me. I like it now.

 

buy a spare fob battery and keep it in the console

I love not having to take the fob/key out of my pocket. Multiple stops throughout the day, touch the handle, push a button, its great. As stated above, there is an emergency process in case the battery does die, and you have the small key in the fob to unlock the door in that case.
I am looking into the smart lock for my house so I dont have to deal with house keys anymore too.

 

SR5 FTW!

 

I agree! One of the best things since self-service gas.
There's no end to what some will whine about.

 

I didn't dislike the SMART key system when I bought my 2019, but I was thinking "what's the big deal over this push button start?"
Well, 8k miles later; I love it! I've been seen pulling on the handle of my 2017 Ford, and hopping in, only to have to dig the key out of my pocket. Give it time, you may end up appreciating it.


Oh, and
GET OFF MY LAWN!

 

I wish my truck had push button...

 

I love putting the key in the ignition, flooring the clutch, and firing up my truck with a turn of this solid feeling key. I don't know who at Toyota suggested keeping the key, but I could hug 'em.

But then I'm a manual guy. I WOULD enjoy such technological throwbacks.

BTW, this key is an excellent ear wax removal tool.

 

I heard the Flintstones are selling their ride..

 

Thanks. My coffee just burned my nose on the way out at a high rate of knots.

 

I wish that trim was avail in M/T.

DCLB M/T SR5.

Pants tight.

Dammit Toyota

 

Have you considered this? I think there is an adapter kit available on Amazon.
