    I like having a key for my vehicles. I don't like having to sit inside the car to start it. I'm not some old boomer either. I feel like the technology they come out with makes shit more complicated than it really should be. Creates unnecessary problems where none existed before. Not with all things but a lot of things they just can't leave the hell alone.

    It's because the current Corolla is a generation ahead of the current Tacoma.

    I prefer a key.

    Its difficult to hack a key with electronics to gain access to the truck.

    They could make it an old school metal key with a separate door lock key…..and people will still fork over $45k for the truck. Toyota laughing to the bank!

    I prefer a regular ol' key, too, TBH.

    A bonus of the chip shortage is that my truck was delivered with one keyless key + one old-school H key, then I got another keyless key at the dealer a few months after delivery.

    Yaris + '21 SR keys, lol

    The Corolla has a higher standard of build quality than the Tacoma. I think Toyota built Corollas in Canada a few generations ago, if they don't still build them there.

    I don't really like push button start. Turning a physical key in the ignition gives me more of a purist feel when starting a vehicle. I don't like flip key fobs either as they tend to break overtime. The Toyota one is a little more robust than Ford's flip key fob. I would rather have a separate key and fob.
