    A friend told me their Toyota van has rain sensing wiper blades so they never have to adjust the blades during rain. Does anyone know if tundras have this capability? I’m at work so I don’t have the manual in front of me. Thanks all.

    Not available that I know of.
    I had a lancer with this feature and it was such a pain I ended up turning it off.

    If a bug hit the windshield the damn things would turn on thinking it was rain, and smear it all over :facepalm:

    Heated whipers like my wife's old highlander that would be nice.

    I have a 2019. I was just curious if this feature was available on any newer model tundras.

    My wife has it on her CX-5 and it is so annoying that it has been off since the first time she used it. Now what they need to do is automatically turn the headlights on when you turn the wipers on.

    My 08 GMC Sierra WT had this feature...also had automatic on/off headlights. You'd think Toyota would just do some of these things. It's not like those features will mess up their notorious reliability. Sure its something else to break but those are pretty simple features.

    We had these on our 2010 Mazda CX-9 and I didn't really like them. Sometimes it'd be sprinkling and they'd turn on full blast, and other times it'd be pouring and they'd turn on like it was sprinkling.

    Some suspension tweaks
    Had them on my Caddy. After the novelty wore off they were more of a nuisance.
