    I def use the front one for my big hydroflasks and 50oz nalgenes, just sayin the console one could be a little bigger.

    Sunroof could be nice, but I have a full roof rack on mine so functionally, it'd be useless so I didn't put it on my list. Plus you lose headroom.

    You're not wrong. sometimes I forget and try stuffing a larger container in there haha

    Yeah valid point. I don't have a roof rack yet but eventual plans to add one. Heated seats is another feature I always wish it had. But I don't want it bad enough to figure out my own solution lol

    Manual shifters instead of switches for 4X4, More power, at least 4.0 L V-6 power for reg. cab. 4.56 or4.88 gears for 2.7 4X4 auto. would be a huge help.

    Heated mirrors and Diesel engine. My 2015 has cruise control and most of what everyone wanted...but, I’ll do a diesel swap eventually, only @40k miles right now so, I’ve got a long way to go (knock on wood) before this engine dies.

    Lol. I didn't even ask for heated seats! Some of the things mentioned have been on cars for the past 10-20 years. The car I came from was 10 years older & had an outside temp/ compass display & mirror defrosters. I mean, come on - how hard would it have been to put a light in the mirror switch?!? A 2nd "on" light in the fog light switch?
    Toyota's are know for reliability (why I got one) & keeping it simple is one way to be reliable - I get it. But damn, some of the missing features is just silly.
    Oh and i forgot to mention a transmission dipstick.

    As for electrical/electronics, heated seats might be nice, but would love auto up and down window controls. It's currently auto down, and I've often just hit it to go up, and it stops as soon as I release the button. Keep forgetting since I don't drive it that much. I have a 08 TSX as my current daily driver.

    A firm brake pedal would be fantastic, but I've gotten used to the "mushroom" feel. It's been that way since I drove it off the lot in 2008.

    Naw, Toyota removed it the last few years and replaced it with a second eyeglass holder:cookiemonster:
    I did end up installing my own outside temperature gauge though, mounting it in a different location.
