    Power seats, change map address while driving, control of beeps-seat belts/door/keys away, rearview camera viewable anytime, 400 watt always available, rear USBs, raise rearview mirror (blind spot), rear diff lock in 2wd/4hi/4lo, add front diff lock, increase tilt, make tranny shift normally and add an ECO button for everyone else, Apple car play, center console lid open further, passenger key less handle, no more plastic bumpers, mud flaps not splash guards that break off so easy, super charger option, grab handles for all four doors, storage pocket on driver’s seat, rear a/c vents, rear window defroster, sound deadening, trailer light with 7 pin and 4 pin.

    It'd be cool to have a base V-6, High performance V-6, V-8 maybe a 289 or similar, turbo inline 6 cyl diesel.

    The Off-Road should have come with Duratracs instead of the Kevlar.

    1. Seems silly, but a mirror for the sun visor. My wife complains every time she gets in the truck :) Seriously, how much does that save them?
    2. Intermittent wipers - another option that seems like it should be standard on all trims

    End of gripe - love my Taco!!

    You should have went with a higher model for more features. If you do a search on here there is a Thread that shows how you can add intermittent wipers to the SR.

    I've got the intermittent wipers, but I'd like a wider range of adjustment. Outside the intermittent, the difference between "high" and "low" is large enough it could also use a middle speed. Sometimes I need a little more than low, but high is just annoyingly fast and noisy. Don't know if the new ones do or not, but the Ranger I had years ago had a ridiculously large range of adjustment.

    It would have been nice if they'd had the TSB programming from the factory rather than the garbage they had... Not sure who tested the original and thought it was OK. Having to go to two dealers to get it working the way it should have been in the first place was a pain in the ass.

    On the Sport and Pro, would be cool if the hood skewp was functional.

    Xenon headlamps would have been nice from the factory. Wasn't really a rare or big ask in 2017 on a vehicle in this price range.

    As has already been said, passenger side keyless door handle.

    Engine running, get out and all the other doors are locked. Why? Inconvenient to hit unlock button very time. Also, remote fold up for passenger mirror when you meet someone on a tight trail with no passenger.

    Lots, straight from the factory.
    Keyhole on passengers door. I don’t have keyless entry and I sometimes would like to open the passengers door first, or open the door for my wife. Can’t do it. =/

    Intermittent wipers would be okay as well. I know I could have ponied up more $$$ and had these with a different package. It would have been nice stock though.

    Better throttle response. You can stab the throttle to the floor and let off......... then the revs increase about 2,000 rpm. ZZZZzzzzz
