I’ll tell you what I did on my 2019 Single Cab
Under the dash at the top and to the left of the brake pedal - there is a white box with three wire clips plugged into it.
If you simply unplug the small bottom connector (this is for trailer brake lights) and the auto start stop turns off. Just remember to plug it back in for towing or dealer visits.
Additionally you can disconnect the battery maintenance system in the negative battery terminal. I like the battery maintenance system so I opted for the trailer brake lights.
I’ve had mine unplugged for a year with no problems.

As mentioned earlier in the thread Autostopeliminator is the only option I have seen that does not have negative side effects, including this.

I went this route (disabled BMS) have driven 2 years and 70k miles and no negative effects yet... Don't anticipate any either, I hope....

IMO this is the best solution: www.autostopeliminator.com
It is the only option with zero negative side effects.

I'm not sure if I could handle pushing the Drive Mode button twice to put it in Sport Mode when reaching over to push the Auto Start Stop button once is too much for most of us.
Pretty sure it takes five presses of the drive mode button now.
Get the Eliminator and never look back. Even when towing.
