Default If I could change ONE thing.....

If you could change ONE thing about your Tundra, what would it be? Can't pick something that's already an option, I mean something that isn't offered that you would like. Ideally, I'm talking about relatively minor changes, not major things things like a diesel option or a 3/4 ton option, but something that could reasonably be introduced major changes.

You can only pick one! For me, I would like to see a larger gas tank I guess. I HATE stopping for fuel.

And you can't mention the gas pedal either. Or floor mats. In case people start crying again....

Oooooo let me think...how about a gauge cluster that doesn't look like they put the gauges at the bottom of soup cans?

Or white LEDs, not the amber disasters.

Or a fricken spin-on OIL FILTER and not a god-awful messy filter thing.

Or a oil filter can somewhere you can replace without crawling under the truck.

Or a hundred others I can think of right off the top....

I forgot about those. The first time I tried to clean them, seems like it takes a significant portion of one's arm to actually reach in to the plexiglass surface. I thought I was going to be bit by a spider.

I concur!! The LEDs don't bother me at all, though, but amen on the gauge cluster design (must have been some senior design engineer's son's junior college design project....), and the PITA oil filter access is right-out. Is that "really" the best they could give us?

My personal beef is the overly-intrusive traction control system. Maybe offer a one-button "Sport Mode" that stays selected even after turning the engine off that gets rid of the VSC/ATRAC/ALSD. Enough with the 2x 3 second button pushing ritual!

Also, someone else is going to say it anyway, but a regular old mechanical Limited Slip Differential with a TRD locking rear would have been SO much better.
