They turn off your engine when you open the doors or you unlock it is for theft protection. When your not paying attention anyone would be able to just drive off with your truck.

My MDX remote start stays on and you cant unlock it, put it in drive, and all the gauges stay off until the key is close and you press the ignition button. No need to turn off. The car should just detect if the key is close or not.

I had a 07 Tacoma that I bought myself after my first deployment. It was totaled by a 16 year old who was texting and driving and hit my ex wife. I bought a 2011 Tacoma after that, traded it in for a 2017 tundra. I've got 126 thousand miles on it. I love Toyotas. I've also owned a 2014 4-runner and my ex-wife owns one of the TRD v-6 camerys that I'm basically paying for in child support.

In case you are out of tyhe loop its fun to do 5 things I hate about my vehicle videos, I LOVE this truck and it was a stretch to even come up with 5 the only thing I legit hate was the uncomfortable leg rest issue but that's fine now...Dontg take the video that serious as if im really complaining Im not😁

The issues on the tonneau cover - the water and dirt doesn’t leak from there. What’s happening is your rear wheels are kicking up the water past the slots in the wheel well and it drips from the bed rail caps. It’s only an issue on the driver side because the passenger side has that cubby that stops most it. I discovered this when I pulled off the bed rail caps and found all the dirt that collected. On the locking issue, I forgot that used to be a problem for me too. Now after a few years it seems to seat easily

Someones already probably said it but the remote start turns off after getting in to keeo people from just driving off with your truck. My chevy does it to but its a little better in that i have to actually put the key in the ignition before it turns off and i have to "turn it on" again.

Jeff I m happy for you man. It’s a cool truck.👍🏻

22 TRD Off Road 6ft bed - I'm 6ft tall and I have to scrunch my head down to get in the driver's door or I hit my head. I don't like the remote start shutting off. I don't like that the tailgate isn't connected with the remote (stock). I don't like the radar cruise control. It hits the brakes on false positives too much (cars in other lanes on curves. The truck doesn't know better)

Nice truck, pro's and cons with any everything.😮

I have the same issue with my legs resting on hard plastic in my wifes 2012 Ford Edge. Never thought there might be pads to help with that.

Hey Jeff! Quick point on the leak. I had a 2018 Toyota Tacoma and I put a LEER bed cap on it. I was also noticing water getting in up in the front corners next to the cab. After I got to checking I found that my bed cap was sealed well and the water was actually coming in under the bed rail in the corners next to the cab. There is a wide open gap where everything comes together there under the top of the rail. Kind of a design flaw in my opinion. I loved the truck though!

The remote start is the same on my new Highlander. Its a security feature. And mine times out in about 15 minutes.

Jeff , you're never happy with your vehicles. I predict you'll trade it within a year.

That's the first time I've heard tonneau pronounced that way. Down south I've always heard it pronounced like tan-know. Not complaining, just sounded really weird to me. Funny how the same word is pronounced differently depending on where you're from.

The driving position being to low in the truck is something a lot of taco owners complain about to the point they have now changed it in the 2024 taco

Get the Pedal Commander, bro. It's a game changer for sure. I have had lots of different Tacos but for my 23...I decided to get a Pedal Commander for it and yep....I love it. Just saying....

Love the truck but agree that the romote start is incredibly dumb and having to turn it back on defeats half the point of remote start imo Its not just about cooling and heating up ur cab before getting in ...u should also be able to seemlessly drive away without starting ur vehicle twice lol Besides that the truck is great and should serve u well for years to come ... The only way to bypass the remote start issue right now is to get a completely different system and that seems like overkill .... hopefully one day toyota allows u to shut off that feature and adjust the settings for timer and stuff like that

My educated guess on #3 would be so unscrupulous peeps can't steal ur ride when it's running with no one inside plus you would avoid a ticket by the cops leaving ur car unattended while running but this ofcourse would have to be explained to the officer that siad truck has a feature to eliminate easy GTA from potential hijack

Just curious if this is the case.

Hate to say it, but I'd take a 1970 Dodge Dude Pickup any day. Yota's are good vehicles, I've owned two pre-tacoma Pickups, 22-RE 4x4, they were great. But nothing like 1970 MOPAR. For better and worse. Right now I'm keeping an eye out for a '69 Plymouth B-body.👍

The truck shuts off so some sh!tbag doesn't jump in and drive off with your new truck! The seating position has always sucked in the Tacoma, thats why they changed it in 24 redesign! Tacoma's have always felt like you're sitting on the floor and why your leg sits on that console like that. So glad they redesigned the whole truck.
