    I'd like to see better gas milage and leather seats. I currently have a 2012, but I have to say I liked my 2009 model better. The new one is noisier on the highway and the seat position is slightly differnet so that my thigh hits the steering wheel. Still a great truck, just little anoyances.

    Kids? In my truck? Are you insane? Since she spilled a drop of tea on the seat last year (when I hit a bump), even the wife is on probation (no drinks, food, etc) when it comes to riding in my truck. ;)

    None yet :D.
    I would like to see a slightly deeper bed
    Power sliding rear window you can actually use while driving
    Rear a/c and heat vents for passengers
    I wouldn't mind if the headunit did not power cycle when vehicle is started.
    And that little tab under the headlights that keeps me from doing the BHLM :p.
    Other than that I love mine, its got plenty of options and honestly the price market for trucks are going up and up everyday.

    LOL. Just noticed some of the longer lists here sound just like Santa Claus wish lists. Perhaps we should change the thread title to "Dear Santa Toyota." :D

    No. You can't have a pony. Where would you put it? In the closet? What about a goldfish?



    As you can tell - been there, done that. My parents said something similar. By the way, the goldfish just wasn't the same - couldn't figure out how to ride it.

    Yuck, that's a horrible image in the mind. I could say more, but perhaps not a good idea. Anyway, my brother did something similar to a small turtle that escaped from it's bowl/dish (or whatever you call those things). However, he jumped directly on it from a top bunk bed. I'll leave the results to your imagination.

    Haha that's so awesome, a feature that I like on some limited model Toyota and Lexus is the Sideview mirrors that move downwards while you have the vehicle in reverse.

    What I would like to see:

    -Metal Bed
    -Bed Light
    -Sunroof option
    -MPG calculator in the on board computer.
    -Second tow hook on the front with TRD package

    All in all, no deal breakers. Would buy again 100 of 100 times.
