Those Tiny Annoyances

We all love our rigs, but they're not perfect. What are the tiny things that annoy you about your truck?

For me, it's the fact that every other time I go to buckle my seatbelt, my wrist hits the release for the center console and it pops open.

What little thing annoys you about your (otherwise perfect) Tacoma?

 

Interior plastic blemishes

 

Sometimes engage windshield wiper when intending to set cruise control.

Takes 4 beeps to unlock all doors with fob.

 

Cheap interiors to include extremely poor quality seat fabric, all kinds of interior plastic blemishes and dash and door rattles.....

 

I'm not sure if this is considered a tiny annoyance or not but at least for my needs the rear DC storage is not suitable. Under seat, while very safe and secure is extremely small, and the behind-the-seat storage is a hair too small for my toolboxes to fit, resulting in me not being able to carry 4-5 passengers comfortably. The cab is small enough already, and I have toolboxes in the floorboard and an empty storage compartment.

Edit: I play cat-and-mouse with multiple squeaks in the rear but that's solely because I modified the suspension.

 

Fogs turn off on high beam, to many cup holders, thin paint.

 

Clutch squeak is rapidly becoming more than a minor annoyance.

 

I think there's a little plastic bushing down on the clutch pedal linkage that will solve that.

 

The heated mirrors never work

 

Rattle, rattle, rattle, rattle.

The dash, the seat belt buckles, the passenger seat, under the dash, the half down window, etc, etc. One of these days I'm going to systematically eliminate all of them...(shakes fist).

 

This, holy crap the interior plastic scratches easy, part of the reason I left GM. Come on Toyota.

 

I cant get my 2013s drivers side A/C vents adjusted correctly. Both me and my wife dislike the vents (looks like they went with F150 style circle vents for the 2016).

Tilt steering is a joke, why bother.

E-Tune could use ALOT of refining.

Two of my mud flaps tore off during its first hunting season. The mud flaps wore down the paint where they were installed (if I ever buy another Tacoma I will take them off right away).

A lot of the nice features that my last 4-runner had, are not in the Tacoma.

 

What he said!

 

Slip joint needs greased

 

gas tank keeps running empty

 

haha
I hated the fabric seats would stain from water drops or a sweating water bottle. installed some covers to decrease my annoyance

 

I can honestly post that I have no annoyances with my Tacoma. the Entune screen could be more verticle, but I'm not annoyed by it.

My last Tacoma had a few annoyances:
1) The hood scoop threw a glare into the windshield in certain conditions.
2) The Sport seat bottom bolster was never comfortable to me.
3) the TuRD sticker on the bedsides. (Easily removed, and I did)

The above examples are exactly why I went back to an SR5 this time.

 

How about needing to be a Japanese gymnast to work on just about everything?

 

Getting in the truck in the morning when my body is stiff I can't tilt my neck enough to slide in, an I'm only 5'11"

 

No center console. No heated mirrors. Use rainX on glass. No Entune. Don't give a shit the interior may not be perfect. 6' bed for tools. 4 cyl. sound is f'n awesome. No problem.
