Minor annoyances with Toyota tech (compared to wife's Honda)

Ha, I'm not one to get my feelings hurt easily, just expressing my thoughts on an open platform. If we didn't listen to others opinions we wouldn't learn and grow right?

I had a 2019 AC and decided to trade it on a 21 DC for the growing family so clearly I feel like I am in the right vehicle for me.

 

I made a lot of money over the years selling Toyota lift trucks. Best propane and dual fuel trucks on the market.

Would def rather have the honda jet though.

 

One could just park in the garage. I mean you do live in Colorado which is famous for hail.

 

Since I own a Tacoma TRD Pro and lease a el cheapo Honda civic I will chime in.

The Honda has better: back up camera, brake hold at stop light, LED tail lights, Lane Keep assist ( it keeps you in the lane hands free) Ice removal via front window defrost.

The top O the line TRD has: shitty incandescent interior and rear tail/turn. 5th grade lane warnings, sub par windshield defrost, glaucoma-vision cameras, fucking chimes that go off for all sorts of reasons.
At least Meso did it right on his rear tail light kit..bravo. TOYOTA do what Meso does on the tails and interior lights.
Just sayin'

 

I have the premium package but didn't get the multi view cameras or whatever its called. Was wondering if I should have held out for it. Are you saying all those cameras are as bad as the rear?

 

I don't know why people want LED interior lights either

Get you eyes checked and find reputable drug dealers so you don't need surgical lighting to determine if you're getting ditch weed.

 

Are you though?
Or are you just looking for an echo chamber to help yourself feel better about the doubt that set in when you formulated these complaints & comparisons to an entirely different vehicle?

 

I only read the hateful first page.

I know what you mean, @cvsizemore . I didn't want the tech package but that's all the dealer had in a manual so I took it. With more electronics getting shoved into vehicles all the time, the bar gets raised on all vehicles. I was surprised at all the features of my truck when I bought it but after a time, some of it seemed half hearted. Oh well, good truck anyway.

 

I don't have the all around camera but my back up camera is good .

 

Plenty of people don't have a garage.

 

You meant to say ridgeline is far from a truck? Because it is an SUV with the back chopped.

Taco is a true pick up, and its awesome IMO. Just look at the sales.

 

Right here.

 

Two words: Skewp, panties

That's all the tech the Tacoma needs.

 

No issues with my rear view camera as well.

 

Or truck is too tall to fit in garage

 

LED interior lights are a very easy and economical upgrade. Everyone’s eyes certainly aren’t the same. Some tolerate different color temps better than others. As for me the stock incandescents are junk and do a terrible job filling it shadows. It’s literally night vs day with LED’s.

You must be a joy to hang out with. Imagine typing a helpful response instead of begrudging someone using a forum as a...forum. Or you know, just move along.

 

Good truck, bad tech for sure... the only thing that would make this thread worse is if OP was somehow a Duke fan... whining little Grayson Allen...

We all get buyers remorse.. I am sure you'll deal with the bad tech like the rest of us... or maybe get a kia stinger, I dunno.

 

Did you guys know that some vehicles come with a built in vacuum cleaner!!?!?!?!?

I feel like toyota could have done a better job and put a vacuum cleaner into the truck. And know where they could have put it? In the drivers side bed cubby that they removed on the mid cycle refresh trucks! But NNNOOOOO they went and removed that cubby instead.
Could have stuck a vacuum cleaner in there.

Toyota sucks. But it’s reliable. But they could have stuck that vacuum cleaner in there. Anyone else have this experience?
