    I have a 2014 Taco.
    Is it me or is the rear view mirror right in my line of vision..?? Blocking a huge portion of view. Design flaw.? I'm a little concerned.

    I love my Taco.......I think....:confused:

    Wouldn't call it a design flaw but yeah... the way the windshield "rakes" it does block a bit.
