People want push button start because it's trendy.
2020 TRD Pro Updates - Army Green & Push Button Start
- Thread starter Ryan1975
- Start date
i thought that at first and now i dont miss having a key or having to use a fob to unlock my car at all.
One more thing to go wrong, and have you seen prices on replacement fobs? I was quoted $550 to replace one my wife locked inside her Mercedes, (along with the spare.. doh). Ordered a blade key for $60 to unlock (AAA would butcher the door panels to pry it open) - but one can't use it to actually drive.
At least with normal key I can use a simple mechanical copy in a pinch.
I think auto open function when one is nearby is not safe.

Teslas don't have a fob, or a button. They recognize your phone (or a RFID card) then you just put it in gear and go. It's weird not having a starting procedure.

So true. Then when it fails the ford dealer ends up ripping your fairly new vehicle apart to access the multiple keyless entry antennas! Hurray!
If you had to pay for that to be done its expensive considering its unnecessary and your interior is being taken down for this crap and as fast as they can because it's a scheduled time limit job! Image the costs on bmw or MB

I've been lurking on the site for a while but this is my first post. I am in the market for a new SUV but haven't pulled the trigger. I am coming from an '09 Acura MDX and there wasn't enough in the current 4runners to make me want to purchase. The 4runner has more off road capabilities but in essence its the same vehicle I have now. I would basically be switching for bluetooth audio and navigation in a TRD ORP. The 2020 "refresh" has added enough widgets that I am all in. We have a '18 Odyssey and I love the keyless entry and push button start as well as Apple CarPlay. Combine that with the looks and solid reliability of the 4R I am going to be jumping in. Possibly to the Pro trim.

At what point will we all start to realize Toyota is not in it to serve the offroad community. A trd pro sequoia, really? A brand new trd pro that the most notable change is the color green. What a disappointment. Do better TRD.

Instrument Panel
This can't possibly be the 4Runner instrument panel. Maybe it's from some old school vehicle. Surely, Toyota would retain the super valuable Eco mode light and a bar graph to tell us when we're in eco mode. I mean, how would we even drive?

This makes me sad about the future of TRD. I'm just going to leave this here:
I really do not see an issue with a RAV4 off road.

If it weren't just a regular Rav4 with appearance package I'd probably agree. I actually think the RAV has some limited potential given the torque vectoring system. But it's not an offroader and it discredits any market power the TRD OR name had. The "adventure" trim was more appropriate IMO. The whole point of having a trim level is that it indicates a certain level of components and functionality. For example if a Limited 4Runner had cloth seats and no extra features it would be a problem because "limited" in toyota trim has a certain meaning. For Toyota TRD OR has always meant rear locker as a minimum. Then the Tundra had less, now the Rav has basically nothing functional with the same badge. Ultimately: TRD OR now means nothing.
What I'd love to see is the Lexus drive train in a softroader. The Rav4 size with the IS200T AWD drive train would be a legit offroad crossover. It's a completely different drive train though. And having double wishbone or a-arm suspension on both ends is IMO a basic requirement for any type of suspension upgrades or significant suspension travel range.

I'm so happy I purchased a 2019.
I would buy this immediately if you could get it in the current black dash color. Maybe add some ran mount balls in the open space.
