What Do You Dislike About Your 4th Gen? Let The Discussion Begin!

So... hahaha. This might ruffle some feathers. But, I really want to know what other owners biggest gripes and pain points are. What do you not like, maybe hate, about your 4G Taco? For me, I have a few small to medium complaints, but nothing I would call very serious. -- One, the rocker panel and belly hang lower than last gens. Definitely less clearance overall. But only really matters for moderate to difficult off-roading. Two, the sensors and collision systems, etc., can be a little annoying. Sometimes they get gunked up with dirt or ice and throw error messages on the dash. You can turn a lot of the beeping and automatic braking off, but some things are just a byproduct of the added tech. Not really complaining, and I haven't had too many issues, but I've disabled a few features for sure. Three, why do the hybrids not have leads for accessories (besides the factory aux switches) in the engine bay? The starter battery is under the seat, and after you use your aux spots up (easy to do), you need to run leads into the engine bay, or run everything to the cab (way worse, in my opinion). Four, the factory tailpipe hangs way too low. It's an off-road truck, its going to be one of the first things you smash. Five, why don't we have a front e-locker option?! Self-explanatory. Six, the foam under the trim on top of the bed is too flimsy. Once you add any weight to it, especially on the ends (like a camper, topper, etc.), the trim starts to deform and make what seems to be a less stable surface. Seven, needs bigger cup holders in the center console by driver/passenger. Eight, ISO dynamic seats should be an option. Maybe that will happen soon. Nine (okay last one), random... but why can't I buy an OEM snorkel yet?! -- Some of these can be fixed or addressed with aftermarket parts, but still. Toyota, if you're listening, I'm here to help consult on the 4.5 Gen refresh, lol. We'll make it all right. And for the record. I really like this truck. I sold my 3rd Gen Tacoma for it. Not upset at all. Just making conversation. Nothing is perfect! Picture for attention... How my truck sits now...

Finally got my bed rack and installed it the day i got it. I ordered few more items, so i can mount my maxtrax and rooftop tent risers. The AXS gates easily hold 45 lbs plate
