I'm keeping it forever-No seriously-I mean it-For real!(2020 Nightshade 4Runner) New polls often/bs

I don't love it like I did my 2019, but I don't feel the need to hunt for something else the way I did in the Ferd. I guess I'm just kind of resigned to it. Love lots of the features, but it's just not making me love it.

Hopefully I can get some other stuff sorted out, get my camping kit put together, and start making memories with it. Hoping that will sweeten the appeal.


Regardless, I can't afford to swap trucks again and I have to have a full size truck. I'm riding this one out for the foreseeable future.

 

It's just not what I already loved. I'm hoping it will grow on me.

The standout things that make me pine for my old truck:

1. Color options mostly suck and I had to settle for my 4th choice out of 5 acceptable colors.
2. It doesn't feel as roomy as the old Tundra.
3. I hate the power tailgate. Wish it was just a remote unlock, or at most a remote drop.
4. Not a fan of the intercooler vents on the front. Sequoia front end is 10 times better looking.
5. Miss a V8.
6. Infotainment system is hot garbage.
7. Hate auto stop/start bullshit.
8. Doesn't look or feel like I'm driving a full size truck... feels more like the Taco than the old Tundra, but still maneuvers like a fat ass truck.
9. Center console design is gimmicky, cheap, and makes accessing the lower part a PITA.

Things this truck has that I really do like:

1. 360° cameras - loved them since my Taco.
2. Sound system is solid for a non-audiophile.
3. Ventilated seats are delightful. Probably my favorite feature in the truck.
4. Smart entry has been something I loved since my 2017 WRX.
5. Perk to settling on the color and not liking the front end a bunch, I don't really care about the rock chips.
6. Decent fuel economy.
7. Memory seats are nice, but seldom used.
8. I like the softex.

It's kind of a wash. It's good and bad things, but nothing major. It's just uninspiring and kinda meh.

 

Is there a button to turn off auto stop/start?

 

Yes, and I hit it 90% of the times I start the truck. It's the 10% of the time I forget that is annoying.

I also hate it on the basis of it being another bullshit "green" ploy that does nothing.
