    My 2005 1st gen, if you turn the key just enough to bump the starter, cranks until the engine is started. Does anyone else's do that?

    That price....I think mine was $45, and just about plug and play. It took more time to run the cord than to install the heater.

    Yup, block heater. My 2015 SR5 purchased 8/3/18 has this also. Found out the truck came out of Quebec. Has heated seats and a Bak-Flip bed cover with drainage also. Can only guess the previous owner experienced cold temps and parked outside.

    If the battery is dead you can’t shift into neutral. Key turned to on, brake applied, nothing.
    2011, column shift. Had to roll the truck backward out of the garage to open the hood.
    Last automatic I had before this was a ‘96 camry, that would go to neutral with a dead battery. The little trim piece to remove and push to get you into neutral was just for not having a key, back then.
    Battery died dead, real dead. Sitting for two weeks, lots of corrosion. Jumper pack wouldn’t let it turn over. Pretty sure it was the factory battery so not bad!

    There's gotta be something in the operator's manual for the column shift....have you taken a glance?
