3 Features on My 2022 Tundra That Surprised Me

Hey Tundra Guys, I’ve been thinking about installing an auto-start/stop eliminator on my 2022+ Tundra. I don’t always hit the brake pedal hard or long enough to trigger the auto-stop feature, but still — I don’t like the idea of the engine shutting off every time I stop. Seems like extra wear, possible oil-pressure cycling, more stress on the starter, and just a general slowdown when I hammer the gas again. I found this eliminator on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4oq9AdQ — before I pull the trigger I wanted to see if anyone here has used one. If you’ve tried an auto-stop eliminator on a 3rd-gen Tundra: Did it work reliably (no random re-enabling or errors)? Any unexpected side effects — check-engine lights, weird behavior, performance issues? Is it truly plug-and-play, or did you have to dig into wiring / deal with fuse boxes / coding? Price is a little concerning for me — It is so affordable it makes me question. But if there’s a proven one that works clean on a 2022 Tundra, I’m all ears. Let me know your experience. Appreciate it.

Now that I’ve had some time behind the wheel of my 2022 Tundra, there are a few features I didn’t expect to use much — but they’ve turned out to be way more useful than I thought. Figured I’d share for anyone on the fence about these options:

1. The Camera Rearview Mirror
I didn’t even realize the Tundra had this option until I started playing with it. It’s been a game-changer, especially when I fold up my OEM bed cover. Flipping the mirror into camera mode lets me still see what’s going on in the bed and behind me. Way more functional than I expected.

2. OEM Bed Lights
Coming from my Tacoma (which didn’t have bed lights), I always thought I’d add them someday but never got around to it. Having them factory installed on the Tundra paired with the OEM bed cover has been a winning combo. Simple but super functional, especially at night or when loading gear.

3. 360° Cameras
I honestly didn’t think I’d use this feature much beyond off-roading, but I use it constantly. Duck hunting? Helps me cross tight water access roads. Parking garages or drive-thrus? Lets me know exactly where my rear wheel is and keeps the truck in line. For a truck this size, I’d say the 360 camera package is 1000000% worth it.
