    Heated garage.
    Move south.
    Wrap your truck in a heated bubble whenever parked outside.

    Is this thread for real?

    Correct. Leaving in the morning with a solid sheet of ice on your rear window due to a broken heated mirror ain’t fun.

    But that is not what we are discussing here.

    To be fair, gloves don’t unfreeze a stuck door handle. But to be further fair, it needs to be mighty cold for a door handle to freeze shut. Cold which 99% of us will never see.

    Looks like audi and tesla do.

    Considering how long it took to get heated mirrors on the tacoma, i wouldn't hold your breath.
    Do you have a TRD?
    Is it an automatic?
    Remote start and a hair dryer plugged into the outlet.

    Or gloves. Cause yeah, after rereading your comment i dont know if your hand is freezing to the door cause you're a cold blooded lizard person or if the door handle is freezing shut.
