I'd rather read the commentary than watch the vid, just saying.

The video jumping around (stabilization?) makes me dizzy.

I don't mind the video its something different and you can show things that would be hard to describe with pictures. I also appreciate the extra effort in the comments it seems that the Edmunds staff has been more active in the comments recently.

My steering wheel only tilts. I would really love for just an inch or two of steering wheel travel in my own truck. As it is, it forces me either too close to the wheel with bent legs or the correct distance away but too upright. It's not to the point where I'm all hunched over, but just enough to make me uncomfortable after just an hour or two of driving.

That thing has literally a half-inch of telescope adjustment in the steering wheel. The seat has no height adjustment. How does something like that happen in an organization like Toyota's?

Also, regardless of how many times it's described as "all new," everyone has pretty much acknowledged that it's not all new, and since the last version was very outmoded by the time of the refresh, that's pretty bad.

Just looks so half-hearted.

I noticed that, too.

Rather read the review.

I'm looking for Edmunds to do a honest review of this trucks driving Dynamics. Lots of complaints out there and there are some issues with the truck. More so than you would expect for this day and age with a Flagship New vehicle. Please look into the Vibration that comes through the steering wheel at 1800 to 2500 rpm under acceleration. It would be great for you to comment on it because Toyota tends to think its normal and characteristic for this vehicle. The vibration goes hand in hand with a terrible resonance coming from the engine bay/Exhaust system. "OH WHAT A FEELING" Thanks Toyota for leaving your customers on the hook for these issues....
