    OP wants to pay $60k+ for a Tacoma. He is probably disappointed with the number of cup holders too.

    The tailgate on my taco opens and closes… what more does it need to do without adding considerable cost and unneeded technology ?

    I bought a toyota for the intentional lack of features. What they have is simple and it works, so why change it?

    Who cares about the tailgate. I'd be happy if they put lift assist on the hood. My 2023 hood is HEAVY. Probably need all that extra strength to support the shape of the stupid fake scoop.
