Is the Capstone Worth It Over Platinum or TRD Pro?

Thinking About Auto-Start/Stop Eliminator — Anyone Tried It on a 2022+ Tundra?

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.

For those who went all in on the Capstone trim, how’s it holding up compared to other high-end trims?

The acoustic glass, 22s, two-tone interior, and power running boards are slick — but I’m wondering if it’s actually worth the price jump over a Platinum or fully-loaded TRD Pro. Especially with the hybrid already standard across those trims.

If you’re coming from a luxury SUV or a previous Tundra — is the Capstone really on that next level in terms of fit, finish, and features?

Let’s hear real owner thoughts — and if anyone cross-shopped the TRD Pro for off-road cred instead.
