Loose steering

especially at Highway speeds. Yes its aligned with Road Force balance and Haweeka adapter and rechecked,on a stock setup.

Firestone tires?

BED LIGHT, hands down.

Every truck should have one, get with the program Toyota!

Have you lubed the boot on your steering shaft under your dash? Pretty common probem on all Toyotas.

Me either, Tundra had them as well. What would be really cool is a power vent window like on the Siennas. Who knows one day. Would not have stopped the sale though.

Throttle lag, stock stereo should be louder (i hit max a lot lately), reverse lights dont do shit in heavy rain at night, wish I had a bench seat. Other than that its great.

Landon · 04-02-2009, 08:33 PM

1.The tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick.... when i first got this truck i thought something was wrong with it
2. Fuel Economy
3. No leather seats
4. My rims that look like flower pedals need better stock rims

Other than that THIS IS THE GREATEST TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

1 The cheesey sound when you close the doors on the access cab

2 Kinda bad road noise

Otherwise a fantastic truck

GLineman · 04-06-2009, 06:45 PM

1.whimpy leafes 2.back side winow no open 3.hood scoop inTRD only that makes a tough truck look tougher 4.paint scratches easily (car wash made it look like I drove through the brush 5.fuel economy (same as v6)

fasn8dave · 04-06-2009, 07:33 PM

1. Weak arse leaf springs!
2. Suspension squeaks just because I drove it through muddy ponds / creaks
3. No available power rear window like the Tundra
4. The cab's a little "low profile". I have to crunch to get in, but after that I'm pretty comfy.
5. I work for a living and it looks like I wiped my butt on my cloth armrest most of the time... I'm tired... man.. did I really do that, or was that symbolism? hmm...

I heard of this thing you can do putting like a clear coat along your lower sides of your paint, so you can get rid of your mud flaps. I 'm thinking about doing it myself now.

4x4Taco · 04-09-2009, 07:18 AM

My hates:

Can't believe no distance to empty on the computer! Light comes on with 1/4 tank left!!!

No heated side mirrors...WTF!

The TRD seat back is to small....I am a big guy.

Rear drum brakes...is this the 80s or what?

No bed light.

No leather seating option.

Hey...another Newfie!!! woo hoo.....hello!

JPinCowtown · 04-09-2009, 08:19 AM

I've only put 1,000 miles on my 09' so far - the only thing that really bugs me is no compass or outside temperature display. I didn't realize how much I used that on my old truck till now that I don't have it.

jmasterj · 04-09-2009, 08:45 AM

Poor visibility especially out the rear window of a double cab, low seating position, huge A-pillars, but you see that on most vehicles now due to rollover safety regulations. Poor rear view mirror placement, due to small rear window.

You got that right, Corner brook me buddy!!!

How bout the weak plastic for the seat belt to chip away when it springs back

MUDFISH · 04-09-2009, 12:08 PM

Nothing major, but I just picked up my 09 last week, and here is the list...

... no bed light
... terrible volume through the AUX port
... no mute button on the steering wheel controls
... no where to put loose change

acozzens · 04-10-2009, 11:40 AM

I have size 13 shoes.
Having just switched to this vehicle I'm still adjusting to the proximity of the gas pedal to the brake pedal. I've hit both before.. Maybe it's me.
