    Lets all make a list of things we think Toyota can do better on the next gen Tundra vs current Tundra, before they finish up, to assist their designers and engineers, if they read this. I will start!
    1. Interior plastic is crappy, especially the doors, do better
    2. Payload should be higher than it is now
    3. Nobody wants a "flex frame", that is what suspension is for
    4. Metal front bumper with winch mount, standard on all tundras
    5. Keyed locks on both sides of the truck(not just drivers door)
    6. Bring back regular cab model
    7. No oil may leak, within 250k miles, from anywhere
    8. A bolt in seating package for the bed area, like an old Subaru Brat. I want 9 people in my Tundra sometimes.

    Lets do this people!

    How about a true 2500/3500 HD model?
    With a 5th wheel package from the factory?

    Maybe a van based on the Tundra, like a Nissan 2500NV. THAT market is slim pickins. You can get a ford transit, a 90 year old chevy van, or the Nissan NV.

    If we keep this up, and Toyota listens, the next gen Tundra will be sooo great, every other truck will have a resale value that will be exactly 3 peanuts( mine included). They will actually give you 1 peanut if you take an old Ram at that point.

    Sounds like the perfect Ram owning experience, as long as one has a severe peanut allergy.

    How about one that is more affordable. Thankfully I bought mine when I did, I couldn't get one of these new ones, especially not a higher end one, ha.

    But just more features on the interior. Again, just comparing to mine ('16), I think they have these on the higher end models but should be standard. Heated/Cooled seats, Auto Headlights, Tire pressure for each tire, more USB and less cig plugs, rear bed power plugs.

    When I bought my New 2011 Tacoma, in May of 2011, the dealer(eastern shore, in Daphne) had a new Tundra, regular cab, v8, manual transmission, for $19,995. Bring that back, Toyota!

    Get rid of the TSS. Other than that, keep the price down to 40k or less for a crew max trd off road and i might be able to buy a brand new one.

    As it stands, I dont want a Tundra newer than a 2017 and low mileage 2017s are still pushing 40K and up here. Forget about new ones...
