I just had this happen to me. Hitting the panic button on my key fob was the only thing that worked after using the key in the door. After starting the truck and moving the truck. After hitting the unlock button several times as well as hitting lock and then unlock several times.
I purchased a used Sport Altitude. I added aftermarket leather seats. I have every option except the max tow package and the cold weather package. If I were to do it again I would add both. Other than that I'm very happy with my. Gladiator coming from a 2018 Tundra Crewmax.
I have purchased rims, tires, and sensors from online vendors. Without going into a long story I've come to the conclusion that it's less of a hassle to deal with a local businesses. If follow up is needed it's so much easier.
