Yes, it's required by the DOT for that reason. By disabling it, if you are in an accident and the Insurance Co. Finds out... might not be the best move.

No, The harder you make it, they'll just go after more destructive means... IE: cutting hoses or drilling holes in tanks. My office fleet has been hit so many times I have replacement hoses I keep. Our cargo van, which had a "lock", they just cut into the filler hose and put a hose to siphon...

100%. I've worked on these type of systems. The cellular fees for the Automaker is pennies a year... they're low-bandwidth with very low priority traffic. Hell, we can by trackers for cargo shipments in bulk for under $8/ea... a cell phone that works anywhere int eh world sending real-time GPS...

Yep, nothing new for Toyotas... They've always been a bit grumpy on first shift when cold. All the way back to my 84' Celica. Ford Rangers shift quite bad when cold, it's a known (and considered normal) issue. Not just the first shift, but all the way until it's fully warm. I test drove one...

This is like the morons I see in full overdrive going up a steep grade and lugging down their engine. Then going down the grade at 100 mph or riding the brakes the whole way down... never learned what the L mode, or manual shifting (or gear limiter) was for. Also (Since I'm a local) watching...
