I still see the parking brake handle in about the same location in the second photo. Look closely.

This is a bugs me becuase I've been having to start my truck and let it idle to warm up about 15 - 20 minutes before I go to work for the last few weeks, and it makes it difficult to idle the truck if you're supposed to keep the key in your pocket and the truck only works when you're in touching the truck.

I agree, the interior looks like a major step up. I'm just not a fan of electronics. Electronics fail way more often than their mechanical ancestors.

It doesn't even look like there is a location for a key fob to go to indicate that they'll do the stupid "just have the key on your person" crap which is just another failure point over and above the insert key then push button option (which I would be more for).

With push button start you can have the key inside your house and it run, you can drive for miles after without the key, just don't shut off the vehicle.

I hate that location, I like it by my feet. Just makes it looks cleaner IMO

We've had the fobs in our house since the 2007 Prius. You need the fob inside the vehicle when starting it. After that, it can go about its merry way. When it's super cold out, we'll start the Prius and walk away. Runs like a champ. You can even continue to drive it without the fob, but whatever you do - don't turn it off!

You can't set the alarm with the fob in the car, nor will it allow a full locking of the doors (wife has to remember her keys when stashing her purse). I've locked plenty of keys in a car, but never a fob.

All things being equal, I'll take the push button start.

You guys make fair points. The last push button system I used was when it was first making it's way to road cars and it was nothing but a headache. Especially on cold mornings, simply didn't work. I haven't touched them since, but it sounds like the latest versions of them actually work decently.

Yup. I miss the push button start of the Prius and RAV4 when I'm driving my FR-S. It really is super handy.

nad · Jan 12, 2015

They work great, anyone who doesnt like push button start has not been able to take advantage of them. Leaving the key in your pocket at all times is really nice. With toyota I beleive you just have to touch the door handle and it unlocks, ford you put your hand inside the door handle. Then you just hit start. The key remains untouched. Comes in very handy when you have gloves on and your fumbling around for keys in the winter. I dont have house keys because I use a keypad lock, to not have a vehicle key as well would be perfect.

Dash takes design ques from grill ugh... Looks to at least have new fandangles. In for more details...

Syncros · Jan 12, 2015

Wow that dash looks great. I'm glad the foot pedal ebrake is gone. Way nicer climate control set up that is finally more modern than my 88 Supra.

LOL @ some of the stupid ass comments and questions on there.

This ask an engineer might be a fail...

BlueT · Jan 12, 2015

So new Tacom is 2 gen minus the normal things

Push button start? Why can not have a regular key?
Are those trucks or mall riders ?
Looks Like I am gogi nto keep mine until I no longer can and just get some old full size Dodge for towing big stuff.

Surfh2o · Jan 12, 2015

I was just reading them and thinking the same thing. Folks need to keep it relevant. The one dude talking about they should make it the same size as his 1986 Toyota truck. Or "Can we put 33's on it without rubbing."
