    Will I ever stop reaching into my pocket to grab the keys to either open the doors or start the truck? Every time, all the time....

    Took me a couple days to get used to that. still occasionally for locking and unlocking (usually only if someone is taking their time getting out do I use the remote to lock it) haha I have never owned a PTS vehicle before. But I sure do love it haha.

    Nope ..you'll eventually forget keys exist and realize you forgot your FOB in yesterday's pockets. Then you will have to go back upstairs to look for them in your dirty laundry...either way your digging them out of your pockets.

    Yes. But when you drive your wife's car you start slamming the dash and wondering why nothing's happening.

    When I drove a Land Cruiser Prado with pushbutton start, the most annoying thing was having to step on the brakes to start the engine.

    The old push button sucked when you had to slide the key in to the dash, then brake, then push. 1st Gen prius, old benz and infinitis had it.

    I have the opposite problem. I have gotten totally used to the push start and getting in and out by unlocking/locking with the door handle almost exclusively. The problem I have now is forgetting that my other vehicle (a 15 year old Camaro SS) has a key, and two at that! Every once in a while when I go to get in I touch the door handle as if it will unlock, or push my dash where there isn't a button, haha.

    But 90% of the time it's fine. I've had my truck for a year and 3 months and it's been nearly 30K miles so it's second nature. I always have the fob with me in my jeans small pocket and just move it from pants to pants when I change. It has a home on my charging dock at night. But I don't keep it on any key ring anymore.

    I'm already fully into the keyless mindset.
    I don't use keys very often. People are home before me, so no need to use the house key. Went keyless on the motorcycle.
    Door pass at work.
    I often yank on my wife's Rav4 door and it takes a second to realize that I need a key.

    It's a little weird. I like having a key, just something about actually twisting a physical key to turn over the ignition. I don't like having to step on the brake to start up though.
