Okay so maybe you're coming from another vehicle and you find that one or two features that you are missing or wish you had or one that annoys the crap outta you???

Mine would be going from a GMC All Terrain :

1: Tap to turn. Just pushing the blinker down you got 3 flashes or in tow/haul you got 6. Miss that so much for some odd reason.

2: Auto climate control. For $45K I think my 4runner ought to have that. I made a 5 hour trip and must have adjusted that damn click knob 50 times. I just needed that 1/2 click. Lol

Auto headlights
Auto dimming side mirrors
Apple car play
Air vents for the 3rd row/trunk
Dual zone climate control
And after driving a new outback with eyesight...a system like that would be awesome

What’s missing from my 4Runner? I miss the push button start and touch lock feature that I had on my Tacoma. What’s annoying on my 4Runner? Too many interior rattles. 4Runner feature I didn’t know I’d like so well? The built-in garage door opener. Love that.

- A powertrain (engine + transmission, fuel economy) from this decade
- Proper headlights that don't get a "Poor" rating from IIHS -- this one is inexcusable in 2019.
- An infotainment system from this decade
- An instrument cluster from this decade
- Larger fuel tank for improved range on long trips, peace of mind when off-roading in the boonies
- Keyless entry + auto start/stop across all models would be nice, but it's not for everyone
- Radar cruise control would be nice
- Heated steering wheel would be nice
- Power open/close tailgate would be nice

Crossing my fingers that the 6th gen addresses most of the above issues without turning it into a Highlander.

Heated steering wheel. (A feature I never thought I'd care about, but on my increasingly creaky hands, it sure was nice.)
A power tailgate would be nice. (one of my coworkers was loading some stuff in my truck and she physically couldn't close the tailgate, in part because she was too short to get a good grab on it)
I missed automatic climate control for the first few months, but I've gotten used to that one.

Leg room, telescoping steering wheel that actually telescopes

It’s funny you say that. I just test drove one yesterday and thought the steering wheel could be closer. I also noticed the fob and other key on the chain were dangling on my leg the entire time. If I could have pulled the steering wheel up a bit that would not have been an issue.
 
Auto headlights...for the love of Pete why is this not standard on all trim levels.

I really miss my info panel that was on my 2014 TEP where the clock is. It displayed temp and miles to empty and included a compass. Not sure why that was dropped....
 
Honestly the only thing I ever wish it had that isn' a simpel swap is a heated steering wheel to match my heated seats.
 
#1 Auto Climate Control. That’s been my biggest gripe since day one.

#2. I really hate the position of the front floor vents. It takes FOREVER for my feet to get warm. With it being winter it’s fresh on my mind too.

Remote start, blind spot, heated steering wheel, more spacious storage for cellphone and wallet.

Going from a 2000 Ford Explorer XLT (4.0L OHV V6, 4WD) to a 2018 TRD Off-Road Premium:

  1. Keypad entry
  2. Rear-seat HVAC blower with split-level vents
  3. ControlTrac "4x4 AUTO" (although the only way to force "4x2 HIGH" is with the "brown wire mod" which I never did)
  4. More intermittent windshield wiper intervals (6 for the windshield, 2 for rear window)
  5. Extremely tight turning circle and narrow overall width
  6. Cloth seats (but that's because I wanted the heated seats....I did once have a 2005 Ford Focus with heated cloth seats though....)
  7. Steering column shifter and dashboard panel headlight knob

Ok, maybe I'm getting a little nitpicky. Anyway, I'm glad that Toyota had enough sense to not add the "tap-to-turn" signals -- I hate those!
 
Oh wow, I do not know, my previous two cars, an Edge and Explorer, I was either indifferent to the features, or did not like them. I do not like auto climate control, auto headlights (unless you can choose to have in auto or not), and that blinker, lane change feature which I disliked.

I really cannot think of anything! lol. This is probably one of the reasons I love the 4r because of how basic it is, reminds me of my 95 F-350 I had.

Ok, for annoyance, that panic brake thing, I hate that feature, have no idea why this thing has it or what it suppose to do other than brake harder than you want to.

I do wonder how that blind spot indicator would do, looks sort of useful to have to assist in blind spot monitoring. I have seen it on other cars, a little red dot in the side view mirror.

Edit; the post below reminded me, yes, I wish the passenger seat had the same adjustments as the driver seat. My explorer both seats were eight way or whatever adjustable.

Hight adjustable passenger seat, when it comes down to it this bothers me most that Toyota doesn't supply this as standard on a Trail Premium.
