    Does it come loose when driving?
    Maybe replace it..?

    Never had that issue in a personal vehicle, but my Kenworth tractor visor clips are notorious for needing to be replaced...

    I don’t really mind that if you remote start it that it shuts off when you open the door...but I do not like that it shuts off after ten minutes. It was -33F the other day and I would like to for it to run until I shut it off.

    I also find the lack of auto 4wd annoying and it takes way to long to switch into and out of 4wd IMO.

    I got rid of the 10 different colors/shades of the interior. Got rid of the seat belt beeps. Do you really need over 50 beeps?
    That said...I like this truck more than any other vehicle I have owned.

    Plastic steering wheel in a $55k truck. My daughters RAV4 has a leather wheel! I have recently purchased the leather wrap and will try to resurrect my stitchery Uncle Sam taught me 30 years ago.....

    next would be power folding mirrors and auto up/down. Followed the earlier link. Looks like this will be happening soon.

    Well compared to my previous F150 with all the Tech, 2 Turbos, lots of bells and whistles, I’m just fine with Toyota reliability and dated interior.

    The only 2 things that irk me a little bit for the luxury levels, tailgate lock and no heated steering wheel. Had the heated steering wheel in a previous bimmer, it was the shizz in cold weather.

    Which is why I'd be annoyed by the lack of a factory e-locker but until recently no one made one for them to use and I guess didn't make sense to develop in house?

    Yeah my 1794 has heated/ventilated seats which are great buy my hands are always cold! Wife just got a brand new X3 and that damn thing will even turn on the heated seats & heated wheel when the outside temp drops below a certain level ... don't even have to hit the button yourself! Tailgate lock should also be standard on all trims or at least at the platinum/1794 level.

    Just wish it had a rear locker and an LED option for the tail lights. Halogen tails suck and most aftermarket options just aren't there quality wise.

    I heard that! I love the heated seats. But, even my motorbike has heated grips. Why not for the steering wheel?

    BTW, I installed the power tail gate lock a few weeks ago and it works like a charm. 2 hour install, and the OEM instructions are detailed and accurate. Even this back yard hack could do it. ~$150.

    Door locks for sure. For such a rock solid truck to have this issue is beyond me. And $2500 to "fix/replace" all 4 at the dealer if you dont want to sawzall / Dremel into your mechanisms then JB weld new $6 motors in.

    I'm kinda out of place here but I have replaced 3 of my door locks myself and there was no sawzalls or JB Weld involved. The actuators can be disassembled and the motors can be replaced fairly easily.
    The dealer charges for all new actuators and the labor to pull the door apart to replace them. I bought 4 motors off eBay for like 10 bucks and now that I have replaced 3 locks I could do the whole thing in probably 15 mins.
    I used these videos when I was trying to figure out how to not spend that much money at the dealership https://www.tundras.com/threads/door-lock-actuators.21524/#post-518571

    Without a doubt, the 26 gallon tank. I replaced it with a 46 gallon LRA tank. Not cheap, but well worth it.

    I watched a vid that made it look like you had to cut into the housing so I punted. I wish you were in NNY instead of on the other side of the country.

    Thanks I'll look a little harder at the vids you posted. I dont really keep anything valuable in the truck anyway.. but it would be nice to be able to lock/unlock from the fob/ and drivers door again.

    I guess my point was, as you said, if the dealer doesn't have to saw the door apart, neither do I.

    I had my engine light come on just a week after purchasing new Tundra. Turned out it was my new locking gas tank, screw-on lid! It's believed that I didn't turn it one click, like you do with factory (unsecured) cap. My concern is that it wasn't that at all and that the darn engine light is coming on again unless I put back factory gas cap - which I don't want. So, I wonder if I'm good with just going with Autozone locking gas cap, as long as I remember to click it - or what?

    The only thing that really bugs me on my 2020 is that when you use the remote start the truck shuts off when you open the door and have to restart it. So stupid...
