    The BD allows you to adjust shift point among many other parameters. I looked into but unfortunately they don't have one yet for the 2018.

    1. Rattle behind the dash. Research shows this is the plug in the ECU.

    2. Gas mileage.

    3. Seats will stain even if water touches them.

    4. Stock headlights are awful. Which really pisses me off because they put HID's in everything else.

    5. Skid plate is kind of a bitch to take off and on when you do an oil change.

    I think that is it for now.

    The tundra should come standard with the 5.7 w/ supercharger. No other motor option available. Everyone will get on line and cry about their gas milage but then giggle like a little girl every time they drive down the street.

    I still think they should turbo charge the 4.6 or supercharge it. Then offer it in the tundra as well as the Tacoma. Stupid V-6’s in full size trucks with turbos (FERD). Shine that.

    Nothing new here I'm sure...

    1. Antiquated lighting, still using reflector headlights and incandescent tails, still true in the '18s
    2. Cold engine, the transmission hunts at low speeds
    3. Crew max rear seats, lack of storage
    4. Too much chrome... everywhere
    5. Lack of L/S or lockers available, even on TRD Offroad or PRO
    Sure some of it can be fixed aftermarket or with some DIY but damn it would have been nice not to have to.

    No SR5 Upgrade package on yours? My '17 SR5 has it, was part of the SR5 upgrade package.

    No center front parking sensors. Don't understand why they put them only on the corners.

    I guess that is one of the shortcomings I don't like either. Doesn't make sense to put four in the rear bumper when you have a back up camera, two would have been enough for the cross traffic alert, kind of ass backwards if you ask me.

    My hate.. is.., well, the downside is I can't see my Tundra while I drive it. This is a sexy truck and I wash and wax to keep it looking perfect. So I'm constantly looking for other Tundra when out and about.

    Yeah and the radio is weak :(

    Dealer addressable only! I had mine turned off. You can have either one on or off, or both on/ both off. But dealership has to plug a laptop in to do it. I had mine seatbelt chimes shut off when they were in there too.

    Yes the 5.7 is a Powerful engine BUT..... Ford, Chevy/GMC and Dodge are not that different in size..... why is fuel mileage so bad.

    It will never change my love for this Truck, P_20180215_095128.jpg just figured Toyota could do better without loosing power

    The crewmax's have this but the double cabs don't. I think they meant the full rear window power down not the sliding window.

    Oh yes... after joining Marine Corps I couldn't stop thinking maybe I really should have joined the army.............. "NOT" I've been all over the world and in many conflicts the Army would not have provided me with that
