Keyless Entry and Push Button Start Standard!

It seems like every trim in the 5th gen lineup has push button start and keyless entry as standard now. The SR5, Trail, and Off-Road come with it now. No mention was made anywhere. Anyone else notice this?

Don't understand the fascination with push to start. Just rented a car that has it, goes to accessory when i want it off and starts when i want accessory. It's very annoying.
 
Don't push the brake petal down when trying to go between on and acc and it won't start. It's only supposed to start when you have the brake petal pressed.
 
This is my first vehicle with push button start and now I wouldn’t want one without it! Love having my keys in my pocket and just grabbing the handle to unlock and go.

I think it matters on the build date. Look at this

Wow.. that's a bit messed up..

Not that I really care about using a key or pushbutton.. but a keyless entry makes it easier with kids..

Now that I see that.. I'll have to do some more digging for new builds around town.

Edit: That's really weird.. in my area, out of the only 3 that is available (due to Japan's earthquake) only one has the pushbutton start in 2WD SR5 non premium.

Just press Lock, Lock, and hold down LOCK for 3 seconds on the regular key. As was mentioned, the downfall is that when the key is inserted or brake touched, the engine turns off. It's supposedly a Safety feature, but its a CYA from lawsuits and accidental injury.

Still nice to at least warm a vehicle up or cool it down, but the start/stop requirement is annoying.
