    Is there some designer in the background at Toyota just trying to grind my gears?
    What is the thought process when designing every button DIFFERENT sizes, with NONE of them on the same level... WHY? My OCD wants to know.

    Easier to use then by touch rather then having to look ok at them? Some people complain that on the Colorado that the light and 4X4 knob are the same.

    Some people just spend to much time thinking of things to complain about.

    The left one is the button for the cargo lamp to the bed.. The one next to it is just telling you what power outlets are in use (like USB, tow whatever), the next one is the switch for the power sliding rear window and the last one should be pretty obvious.. Though I don't have that one on my truck.. Might have been installed by whomever took the picture.

    Seriously though, those would bug the crap out of me! You'd think they would at least make them symmetrical.

    I looked down there when I bought it and my OCD kicked in with the spacing. I could have lived with the different size buttons, but the spacing...I just don't understand.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed the spacing and buttons bring a little off. I suppose it's by design. At least I'm really hoping that this is by design...

    People complaining about having OCD then fail to notice "bring a little off" instead of being a little off.. I have a feeling this OCD people are complaining about isn't what they think it is...

    As a Graphic designer the first thing I noticed was the different type used on all 3 buttons. hahaha
