Interior Rearview Mirror Problems of Toyota Tacoma

The location of the center rear view mirror on the 2011 (and maybe previous models) of Toyota Tacoma comes in the way of the front view. This is especially true when you are about to make a right turn, the low hanging rear view mirror completely blocks the view and it is really hard to see the pedestrians crossing the street, causing a major safety hazard. The low rear view mirror also becomes problematic, if the road goes down and then up on a right turn curve, as it becomes impossible to see the road ahead due to the location of the mirror. For anyone who is taller than 5'10", this is a major issue, as discussed on several online forums. I am having to constantly duck under the mirror to see the road, and I feel that this is an accident waiting to happen.

The rear view mirror is too low and causes a large blind spot. The blind spot created by the location of the rear view mirror has caused me not to be able to see several vehicles crossing in front of me. This is most prominent when approaching an intersection and a vehicle is approaching from my right. I have found that I must actually duck down and look around my mirror when approaching intersections in order to see all approaching traffic.

Sun visor droops down when pushed forward. Causes loss of vision at distance. Blocks overhead traffic lights. Blocks view down to below rear view mirror. Dealer replaced twice - same results. Toyota rep said this is typical for this vehicle and is a design problem. Neither dealer (I-10 Toyota) nor Toyota offered solution.
