    I'm in a dblcab.
    Even though the CM has a slightly different seat design, the folding feature seems to be the same. I can't imagine Toyota would have completely reengineered the latching mechanics.
    I'd say just take out the back seat and see. If everything looks/operates the same, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

    I think the options need to be more available across the board. With that being said I do think a sr5 and up should have day time running lights that also turn on the dash lights one touch up down driver window. one touch turn signal and all switches should light up. If you could add some option with out having to go up to the next level would be nice. I don't need and or want heated leather seats that option is pretty much useless in AZ now if they where cooled that would be a different story.

    I was talking about the back seat folding mod. I'm not worried about the in-floor storage.

    No, the folding seat mod doesn’t work on Crewmaxes. Their seat backs don’t move up and down like ours.

    I'm not sure they could make the cup/bottle holders any smaller. After my tacoma, which could hold a nalgene-sized bottle (or larger), this is a little disappointing.

    Or maybe instead the 3rd gens could come with a grabber stick to retrieve water bottles out of the passenger floorboard. Since that's where they end up after rolling out of the passenger seat.

    It's minor. I'm petty.

    And yes, a true manual transmission would be a hoot.

    I've got an SR and overall no biggies. I'd like a lock cylinder in the door handle on the passenger side. Bigger cubes on the I Force would be nice. Punch it out and crank it up to around 6.5 L , just for fun.

    I like it but wouldn’t do me any good. My back seats have car seats on then so they don’t fold up.

    Sounds like you should have bought a different truck.

    I have 1794 edition with the JBL upgrade. What a joke. And Toyota designed it like a can of worms to try and fix. If the truck did t have the upgrade it would have been much easier to remedy.

    Also, why doesn’t the digital dash have actual speed. Who cares about “average” speed.

    Otherwise pretty happy

    I'll add to the long list stated already of interior chrome and better sound system.

    Also wish the double cab could have the full rear window up/down and defroster. I'll probably never use the sliding rear window, and not having a defroster on the rear is kind of annoying. Plus a solid piece of glass just looks a lot cleaner.

    Factory sprayed bed liner standard.

    Better fog lights, I can barely tell they are on, help light up the sides a little but not much. Was thinking of looking at the 18 fogs to see if those are any brighter.

    Black interior pieces instead of silver (like the SR)

    More tie down points in bed (low down, not like a bed rail system).

    Probably more I'm not thinking of right now. A lot of them I can fix myself, just didn't come that way from factory for my specific truck.
