    I've had this occur twice so far and I'm perplexed. Since we're now into winter, I've been using the remote starter on my 2020 TRD Pro. When I open the door of the truck, normally the truck will turn off and then I'll start it with the push button. However, on these 2 occasions, I open the door and the truck stayed on. The 1st time, I thought cool (since it's stupid that I have to restart the truck), and I tried to shift into gear and it turned off. Then it wouldn't start when I tried (for about 1/2 hour). The next time I remote started, I opened the truck door, it remained on and so I manually turned off the truck (thinking I was gonna outsmart the truck). I then tried to start the truck normally, and nothing. It would not start, but would turn on accessories. Anyone have this experience? Or is this another Gremlin? Thanks.

    Being a 2020 is is time for your battery to take a dump. Tundra's do all sorts of funky things when a battery starts going out or has lower volts. I would check the battery and do a load test on it.
