Unfortunate changes for the 2013 model

Mine has Homelink but no storage bins. I would like to have both but Homelink is far more useful to me. My 2009 TRD OR had the storage bins. I left one of them full of spent 223 casings. Buddies were making fun of me because a cranked off 15-20 on a set of piglets that I had orphaned a few weeks before. They found the casings and threw them in the back of my truck. I forgot to check if the dealer left them in there for the next owner.

 

on my 13 i have 2 tiedown hoops on the sides of my bed near the cab but my 2010 didnt have

 

I think those piglets got screwed.

 

My 11' Sport had the cubbies. I don't miss them in my 13' OR because I never used them. My OR does have homelink, even though i never use it. I have everything the same from my 11' to my 13'. I just have the touch screen, which is a plus.

 

they are for creating a platform yes?

 

No - just for simple storage. Open little bins.

 

Me too. I have storage bins in the bed of my Taco.

 

Nevermind, just saw your post. lol

 

Haha. I was planning on re attaching them with screws.

 

Ultra exclusive.........lol

 

I got my 2012 Off-Road last October so I had the choice of a 12 or a 13 at similar prices, the 13's weren't much more. I wanted an Off-Road so I chose the 12 because I wanted the Home Link which didn't come on a 13 unless you got more expensive packages I think. I liked the old school radio without the touch better too. The touchscreen just seems like a fingerprint collection to me. I never use my bins so that didn't factor in at all.

 

2012 has the hoops you speak of...and the storage cubbies over the wheel well.

 

Some serious first world problems here in this thread...missing storage cubbies (wait, isn't he bed just one big storage cubbie?), missing garage door opener buttons...

I rue the day they take back the passenger door mirror!

...and we are screwed if they start using chains to hold the tailgates up! Rusty, nasty things!

I'm curious if anyone managed to snag a truck with bias ply tires? Rumor was a few dozen left Japan that way and hit the US, offering indifferent steering (how would we know?!) and random blow outs...

I'll tell you the one thing that should ship standard with these trucks:



Now, to keep things on track, I LOVE those storage bins on my 2011 and think they're a great idea. If the new trucks don't have them, well, that stinks! (But I would buy the truck again without them.)

I just need to work on sealing mine up to keep dust and water out so I can offroad with them and keep bungies back there without fear of them getting all craptastic with dirt and water...

 

My 2013 sport 4x4 LB does not have homelink. When i was shopping to buy the truck you could only get the homelink in a short bed. I checked all over. The short beds came with homelink if you got the right package. In the longbeds you dont get homelink. Go figure !!!! They think that people with longbeds dont need the homelink.

Bins, I love bins. All sorts of bins, but mine only has the storage bins with covers. I love them too.

 

I didn't care that my '13 didn't have those bins....until I saw a mod where someone put speakers in them...

 

lol, I haven't noticed if my '13 has bins or not. I never used them in my '05. Now I have to go out and check. Definitely don't have homelink though, wish I did.

As far as them falling out, I just used some 3m double sided tape, and that kept them in. You know, the same stuff you'd use on the emblems.

 

my '13 trd sport Canadian model has it

 

The HomeLink is standard on the Limited. I'm not sure what package it comes with on the Non-Limited's. It is not a stand-alone item as I can tell.

 

because long beds dont fit in garages LOL
