Wind buffeting from sunroof
Anyone have a problem of wind buffeting when the sunroof is open? I noticed today that when cruising between 20-40mph with the sunroof open and all the windows closed I get a loud humming and buffeting sound that I can actually feel. It stops when I roll a window down or crack open the rear sliding window. Really loud and annoying!

I have the same complaint, although it improved big time when I did my lift. Assuming since it changed the way air flows over/under the truck. Prior to my lift, it was even too loud having the sunroof in the "vent" position, an often occurrence for me if its not raining.

Did you move the sunroof all the way back? It has a programmed stop, which in my experience helps with the helicopter effect. If you press and release the open button, and then press it again once it stops to open it fully I could see this becoming an issue. I would assume if you hold the button to open it that it might do the same thing. If I open mine all the way, it is nearly unbearable with the other windows up.

Toyota haa solved this engima that plagues every other engineer with their roll down back window. To be frank, I find the sunroof on every other car or truck to be intolerable at be speed. On a Tundra, it is pleasant at any speed. Because I am stupid enough to pay an extra $2k for a useless panoramic roof, you can bet I'd be stupid enough to pay the upcharge for a back window that serves an actual purpose and makes the said sunroof functional.
Think about it:
We'd probably pitch a fit if Ford fixed the driver side window, but in its place returned a to a vent window like we used to find in trucks from the 1980s. That is essentially their design for the rear window. It would defy logic, just like the current portal does.
