what feedback would you give to seatbelt Mike?

Oh I know why they did it. It just feels off.

 

Exterior

1. Grille - tone down the chrome. The 2016 and 2017 grilles were hideous.
2. Headlights - change the headlights to HID. The current halogen are so feeble it ought to be illegal.
3. Windshield - tougher glass to withstand cracking
4. Paint - thicker please. the paint from the factory is way too thin.
5. Recovery hook - put real recovery points on the Offroad and Pro
6. Rear bumper - go back to a real chrome bumper instead of painted plastic. The mock chrome sucks ass.
7. Cab brake light - for heavens sake, fix the fucking gasket and materials defect to prevent leaks into the cabin.

Interior

1. Offer cloth heated seats with the moonroof like you did with the 2017
2. Don't force the JBL sub on folks that want leather, the moonroof, and tech package
3. Use slightly harder plastics to prevent scratches on doors, consoles, steering wheel, etc.
4. Much harder plastic for the driver dashboard. That puppy scratches too easily
5. The rear headrest tilt on the 2nd gen was superior. The 3rd gen was not an improvement.
6. Homelink mirror with blue backlit buttons should come with the premium or tech package
7. Seats - for heavens sake put the damn 4Runner power seat in the Tacoma. At least on the Premium Package, Pro and Limited. Sheesh. How many times do people need to ask?
8. Fix the defective AC blower fan. This is critical for southern states.

Engine/Transmission and Controls

1. Tune - it's good to hear an improvement has been made to the engine and how the computer shifts the transmission. They should be ashamed it took so long.
2. Fix the rear diff leaks

 

Front drum brakes

 

The change is what I didnt like.

 

Stop targeting the soy crowd and go back to making actual trucks instead of the fluff pieces that pass for trucks these days.

Really, you need power seats, heated seats, tech package and all the other bullshit?

 

Soy boys spend money on soy toys .

 

Not everyone is short, fix that drivers seat height for us tall folks. Already getting tired of my head sitting in the sunroof area.

 

I find the seat issue interesting. My wife is 5'5" and I am 6'1". Neither of us have a problem with the seat or headroom. We do not have a sunroof.

 

I'm 6' 7", but we bought the truck for my wife. She loves it, but since we carpool for work, I drive.

 

Done!

 

Hey.. don't besmirch the taint heaters. The nuclear setting is awesome on a cold winter morning.

 

Indeed.

 

LOVE the heated seats!

 

Yep.

..and the "soy" comments are probably coming from dudes who own trucks that shift themselves.

Pfffffft. Not manly.

 

No, they all have normal cable actuated Handbrakes.

 

Target a different demographic. Current Tacoma buyers are a bunch of whiners and belong in a luxury vehicle

 

don't listen to the Snowflakes the Tacoma is the best truck ever contructed

 

I was actually just watching an interview with Seatbelt Mike, for all the shit we give the guy he honestly seemed to have a pretty good grasp of the Mid Size Truck market.
