    I’m hearing the current Tundra will get a refresh next year for 2026. Have two 2025’s & one 2023 Sequoia, and drive 70-90K miles/year, so I might have an opinion. Overall the trucks are well designed and have an enormous amount of thought put into them. But they can be improved. Attached is my list of realistic improvements -

    1) Get rid of the small gas tank, 1 powertrain should equal 1 constant size gas tank. The smaller tank is a ridiculous way to save money.
    2) Allow dealers to configure the software to allow for different tire sizes so odometer & speedometer stay correct. TMNA configures these trucks with lifts knowing owners will add larger tires, but everyone who adds larger rubber shows fewer miles and low speedometer readings because the software is locked down. Other OEMs allow the change. You can get dealer to adjust you blinker from 3 to 5 or 7 turn signal flashes, but we can’t get an adjustment for a good speedo reading. Your attorneys may not want owners to adjust, so allow dealers access so they can adjust for owners during a service visit. This is really Bush League not having ability to adjust for tire sizes.
    3) From someone who tows quite a bit, just stick to manual adjusting headlight system. Toyota auto adjusting headlights are really a fixed rod torquing the headlight housing based on load in bed. It’s not good. Those are even disconnected when the TRD 3” lift is added. Just install the manual adjuster so we can use it when necessary.
    4) The TRD Off Road package should come with a standard 1.5” or 2” level on the front spring set. The package is good deal, but from street it’s just a nice sticker on the bed panel. Be competitive with Chevy TrailBoss. Use Westcott as the design form.
    5) Provide some accessory electrical space in the relay/fuse box. Owners do accessorize their trucks.
    6) Bring a Performance package upgrade that can be ordered, or added later by owners.
    7) Need weather overlay on a moving map, like the Waze app. Not everyone lives in California with perfect weather. When you drive a lot, weather avoidance really comes into play.
    8) Allow audio systems to be upgraded easily. The JBL 12 speaker system in my Limited is nice, but still not audiophile level. Don’t mind paying for the upgrade as long as it delivers.
    9) Don’t ever make a truck with a power drivers seat and a manual passenger seat.
    10) Put some darn front tow hooks on these beasts.
