    They told me my 2019 had the TSB in from factory, and that it’s “normal” - she sure screams tho

    Let me check tonight if I have the caps I bought before the TSB came out and if I have them, I'll send them in a flat rate box to you, if you like. NOTE: Before that I electrical taped it and that worked better than the caps (none fit 100%...)

    Have a picture of the LCA? I wonder if they just left them off.

    I would like a 3.0 diesel V-6 like in my VW Tourage. 30 mpg and 400 ft lbs of torque. And 0-60 in 6.7 seconds. The four wheel system is the best i have ever owned. All four wheels are locked in a straight line and unlock when turning. They well climb anything at Moab. Even lion back.

    More oomph aka torque in the motor would be nice. And also if the Auto trans can be a bit smoother in highway driving when I need to speed up

    A small Cummins turbo diesel that would fit under the hood.

    Adjustable drivers seat pitch and height. More rear seat leg room. Ability to remove the center console rear cup holders for more leg room. More space to put larger tires on without trimming. Air intake higher than where it is. No I don't want a snorkel.
    No chrome interior trim. I think if toyota came out with a reliable higher MPG engine they would sell even more. First thing guys around town ask me is what the MPG is. They are surprised its very close to their full size.

    I'm just going to reiterate the support for a seat that sits lower. I'm 6'4" and the top 25% of my field of view is the headliner and sun visors. Having to duck to see traffic lights is a bit of a hassle.

    Put the Ford 2.7L EcoBoost 325 HP
    400 ft lbs torque engine in my truck.

    Since I'm making a big wish list, the 3.5L EcoBoost, 375 HP, 470 ft lbs torque would be extra nice.

    And a decent 7 speed transmission.

    And then I would not have to trade in my Taco for the new Ford Raptor Ranger when it comes out...

    I love everything about the truck except not having lights on the dash in the daytime. I have tinted windows and the dash is hard to read along with the other buttons and knobs, except for the radio. I had a 2014 before with daytime lights and this has been hard to get used too. My wife has a Rav 4 which is lighted in daytime too. Not a huge deal, but one thing I would improve upon. Wish the computer could be flashed with upgrade to correct the issue.

    I liked them for going through narrow areas and carwashes. Plus you could have the mirrors face downward while in reverse.

    I would have had electric seats as a factory option and daylight headlights with the instruments lighted and the four way moved where you didn’t hit it every time you wanted ECT .small things but would make a great truck better. After a month i love the truck and would buy it all over again.

    Good reasons, I wasn't even thinking about the mirror face being powered on non powerfolding mirrors.

    Cameras seem like they are going to be the new norm, but mirrors will probably stick around for a while. I don't want to see them go away.

    Would anyone want a a Gladiator style roof on their Tacoma? I know the idea is far from new. Just wonder if the concept would be a trend or fad. The factory sunroof is a popular option.

    I'm 6'2" and when making a right turn, the only way I can see where I'm going is lowering my head/eyes below the mirror. This also happens on windy roads.

    Better telescoping steering wheel. The CC lever is extremely close to my right knee when I make a right turn.

    I got used to those things and I learned to live with them. My 2004 Solara is much better for me inside though...

    Unfortunately, the designers just didn't take into consideration taller people.
