What improvements would you like to see to the Tacoma?

I also just found out, the compressors fit nicely in the engine compartment, for some reason i imagined a 2 gal shop compressor bolted under my bed or something stupid. They are pretty damn small it looks like.

 

5.7 Liter V8 option

 

SFA

 

Little bit bigger cab for leg room, Constant hot 12v outlets, lights behind switches, A-TRAC & skid plates on all 4x4 models, inverter plug in the cab, Rear vents for heat/ac, freaking bed cargo light, better tires, paint seems to be sub par, update tranny & engine, a little less noise reduction in the cab, and improved crash ratings.
Flame away fan boys.

 

I'm getting 18mpg out of a 5.0L 2013 F150 not even fully broken in yet...

 

I am curious as to why people want rear disks on their Tacomas. On a track car? Absolutely. But other than seeing shiny disks in the rear, I'm not sure what the draw is, especially for those who are always going off-road through mud, snow and water. The drums are lighter, do basically the same job in the rear as disks (only 25% or so of the actual braking power in normal conditions) and because the parts are internal, they don't require near as much servicing.

Don't get me wrong, I love disks on my cars, but if I had a nickle for every god damned time a caliper seized on the rear of one of my cars I would be a rich man. Mechanic shops love to see rear disks cuz it's money in their pockets every time. Knowing that, Im sorta glad I don't have to deal with that on the Tacoma.

 

TUNDRA?

 

Lots of cars are coming out with direct injection Turbo that's cranking out better MPG. Why are Tacoma 4cyl engine so behind don't even have vvti if I'm correct

 

Trucks only need a few things. 2 axles, 4 good tires, 4wd, and a good, reliable motor with a manual trans. You should be able to customize the rest of it how you want. Change the seats, add whatever you want. If you want creature comforts, buy a Cadillac.

 

and heated mirrors

 

The biggest thing for me is having to duck down to see signal lights when I'm first in line. Would like a visibility improvement for those of us 6 feet tall and taller.

 

ImMrYo rear view mirror bracket

 

That's a non issue for me , there are no roads with multi lanes where I live

 

Oe he could scrape his mirrors.

 

That's what I do

Not so awesome when they refreeze 5 minutes from home

 

Heated mirrors

 

Larger cup holders! OMG, I can't fit anything in them. The arm rest on the door needs to be about 4" to 5" inches higher. The door window sill is too high.

 

Whatever happened to Automatic shifters on the column? As a kid, I thought they were so uncool. Now, since I haven't seen one in a long time, I'd like to see one in the Tacoma.

 

x2. I see no reason to have the auto shifter on the floor taking up storage room. Manuals on the column are kinda annoying so I say keep that one on the floor.

 

GM still uses them in their trucks.
