What’s Something You Notice More After Owning Your Tacoma for a While?

[TreadAuto]

When you first get your Tacoma, you’re fixated on the big stuff – acceleration, range, exterior looks.

But after a few months of daily driving, all the tiny cabin details start to get under your skin. Little things you never thought about before slowly become annoying (or surprisingly nice).

As someone who develops floor mats for these trucks, two small points stuck out to me personally:

• Anti-slip nubs on the mat underside. Nothing ruins a drive faster than a mat sliding around under your feet.
• Surface Grip. Cheap mats loaded with calcium-carbonate filler develop a slippery, plasticky surface.

That got me thinking.

What’s one small, unexpected thing you’ve started noticing more after months of owning your truck? It could be something annoying, a pleasant surprise, a tiny interior quirk, or even an accessory gripe. Curious to hear your thoughts!

And if it’s something annoying, how did you fix or work around it? Might help out other owners dealing with the same frustration!

How hard it is to reset trip meter. One real button does it on a Venza.
Stupid double wall hitch.
Fake hood scoop on Sport that does not match white hood paint.

How much I miss real buttons. Just because it's a few bucks cheaper for the manufacturers is not a valid reason we have to put up with touch screens that require my eyes go off the road for too long while I need to tap a screen five, six, seven times before it realizes it's being touched.

The soft touch/padded materials on the doors and center console (where I rest my elbows) make the driving experience much better compared to the hard/cheap plastics on my 2024 TRD OR. I think Toyota should make soft touch materials standard on the Premium Package.
