Auto Lights
Just purchased a 40th Anniversary Edition and does it make sense that it doesn't have auto lights? We have a 2019 TRD Pro that has them. Why wouldnt't a 2023 have them?

I don't think the '23 ORP I just bought has them. I don't see a need for them if it doesn't. The same with auto climate control. I might use them if I had them, but I didn't care enough to bother to check before purchase.

I probably won't use the heated steering wheel. Well, if it gets down to 8*F again this year I might use it to take the chill off, but if it's 8 I'm already wearing gloves.

In 2016 they had the Trail and Trail Premium. Premium meant you got a few more features. Now it's the OR and ORP. Having bought a TEP and an ORP it never occurred to me that I was purchasing a luxury car.

This is a big step up from the 1986 Subaru GL wagon I used on the Outer Banks beaches for 14 years. That thing would go anywhere in the sand on 185/70-13 tires. Dual range 5 speed, factory skid plate, 3 position manually adjustable rear shocks and armored exhaust. All factory, including the white spoke wheels. The front sub frame finally rusted apart.

If I am not mistaken and Toyota hasn't changed anything in the last few years, auto head lights are only on the Limited and the Pro.

That was actually one of the reasons we wanted our 2020 Pro if you can believe it as my wife kept driving around in our 2016 Trail without her headlights on.

Every vehicle we had since 2004 had auto headlights... except our 4Runner.

"as my wife kept driving around in our 2016 Trail without her headlights on."

Seriously? Has she had her eyes checked?

Clearly you haven't seen the amount of street lighting we have in a place like Phoenix. Every main road pretty much is 4 to 6 lanes wide with constant street lights in place.

Very different than the east coast (I'm from NY originally and lived for 4 years in southwest VA aslso). You see people driving with only their DRLs all the time at night here and not realizing it.
