TOYOTA Read this. Improvements needed on Tundra

Toyota is always looking for suggestions on what to do to the next gen Tundra. There's no place better to get direct feedback from Tundra enthusiast than Tundras.com members. So let's hear what you would want Toyota to change, add or make different in the future.

I've owned four Tundras and my biggest complaint is the stereo system is severally lacking. If I'm on the highway with windows down I can barely hear the music (JBL system).

So what's your suggestion for improvements?

 

Full-floating rear axle

 

To summarize, the truck is in need of: technology, power, traction, suspension, transmission upgrades. The price is also somewhat high for what you get in comparison to the big three.

 

Crewmax with a 6.5' bed. Full boxed frame wouldn't hurt either.

 

What do you mean by traction? Like a locker in the rear from the factory?

 

I'm not seeing how a 5.7 is lacking in power?

At least a high quality limited slip in all models and a true locker option in the Pro. As you know, the current Tundra has neither and relies on a brake actuated device.

 

Auto down AND UP with the front windows !!!!! BIG PEEVE OF MINE !!!!...For $40,000 + i would think Toyota would make this STANDARD on all Tundras....may seem trivial to some folks, but ANGERS ME....PEE PEE'S ME...get my gist ?...

 

Owned a '13 for brief period...loved rear seating the way seats came a lil forward and recline back seat a bit and now i have a '14 would've been nice to have same concept...bring out the 12v outlets a lil further also add USB port in rear...make front AND rear seats heated standard all grades... also front passenger seat all electric as driver all grades...rear seat under storage esp concept all grades...12v and power outlet like Taco in bed with added USB as well...

 

Better headlights, lighted switch for the mirror adjustment , upgraded stero with door panels that don't rattle when u crank on the volume , rear sway bar and upgrade the brakes don't know y steering wheel shakes once in a while when applying them

 

You basically named everything there is in the truck. Time for a trade in....

 

Window button lighted

 

All power buttons lighted for Petes Sake !!!!

 

Auto on Headlights on the SR5 would be nice. LED running lights on more or all models.

 

Move oil filter from bottom of engine to engine compartment like Tacoma

 

Toyota could get SERIOUS and quit deleting features from past years! I really don't think they're concerned about competing with the American "badged" brands. My 2010 is prolly my last truck anyway and has been issue-free for the 75,000 miles I've owned it.......and I HAVE Driver's side grab handle, LIGHTS in the door bottoms, auto-up driver's side window (one of my many Mods) LED's everywhere and the list goes on.

 

And switch from integrated filter to canister filter.

 

X2 on lighted side mirror switch and window switches drivers AND all doors

 

please keep the rear window down option on our crewmax

 

Always liked the 3 or 4 rear window pane be nice on CM

 

Coming out of a Ram Laramie that had auto up and down the Tundra is way behind. My Laramie also had a backup camera and a cargo camera. The ignition was push button. The doors automatically opened when you put your hands on the handle. The stereo was much higher quality.

 

I recommend a 9 speed transmission like in the Mercedes. The 4.7 should have a twin turbo. The 5.7 should be kept as is for cost savings. A MDS system on all models. Whatever you do, don't put the pitiful Atchison cycle from the Tacoma on the Tundra. My biggest pet peave is the lack of a Diesel engine. If it were me I stiffen and lighten the frame and truck and install a Cummins 6.7L diesel mated to an Aisin transmission. If you do that it puts the Tundra light years ahead of the competition like it was in 2007.

 

Leather wrapped steering wheel, I mean even dodge gives you a leather wrapped steering wheel in the bighorn package.
Lighted widow switches with one touch up and down.
Auto headlights are nice, my 2011 dodge ram had those.
LED projector headlights, its time.
factory suspercharger option.
8 speed transmission.
Ability to change the LED lighting color on your gauges and accessories, friends king ranch has that option, kind of cool.

 

Include the mapping software and all applicable updates for the navigation system. If Garmin can include it with my $300 handheld, Toyota can include it with my $40,000 truck.

 

- AWD
- Real LSD
- Tundra HD
- Diesel option
- Heated steering wheel
- Electric opening rear window (DC)
- ALL switches back-lit

 

While I agree with what most of you guys are saying. This is also what keeps the tundra less expensive than the big three. I was surprised at how much my truck cost next to the Tacoma I was looking at. I would like the stereo to sound a little better and not be such a rattletrap. And I would love the window switches to be lit or every button. But if they added everything you guys are talking about this truck would be ridiculously expensive.

 

Projection headlights should be a standard option for all Tundras. Even the tacamo has projection headlights.

 

Here is a comparison chart of Tundra versus the big three. This is posted by Toyota. Great way to compare the price, specs and various options side by side.

I wish that Toyota would make a heavy version and a lighter version of the truck.
