Lots of Shaking in my 2017?

    Just wondering if anyone has had this issue. I had a 2016 Tacoma that I drove for the past year. I ended up trading in through my dealership upgrade program to a 2017.

    This 2017 shakes sooooo much more than my 2016 at highway speeds. The passenger seat looks like its having Parkinsons. Drinks in my center console look like a T-rex is running after me.

    I brought it back to the dealer the the first week I bought it and they said it was because a tire was low on air. Oddly enough, when they "fixed" it the problem got worse.

    Has anyone had a lot of shaking in their Tacomas?

    I had a similar problem with my explorer. Sounds like the wheel is out of balance. I would have dealer check them all.

    Generally at about 2500 rpm. Or 70-80 MPH (Speed limits are at 70 here)

    Thats what I though, but the service manager told me "We did a preliminary balance, and did not notice anything other than tire pressure being low." Not really sure what that means.

    Take it back and have them ride in it with you. Something is off.

    I would take it back and watch them put the wheel on the balance machine and see the results. I've learned the hard way not to trust the dealers all the time especially when you know there is an issue.

    Mine shook at like 55, it was bad. Oh this was also after an accident. They replaced a wheel first, then wheel bearing. Doesn't do it now.

    You definitely should bring it back and have the dealership fix the vibration. Or the vibes will lead to premature failure of other suspension or steering components (or wheel bearings)

    Lol my guess is they checked one wheel, it was close enough so they called them good.

    Mine shakes around when I'm riding a rough trail.

    Rides very nice on the road. Even with E rated all terrain tires.

    You need to lift it and replace the wheels and tires. If it still shakes, replace the bumpers and add skid plates.

    I put on 50k in a year on the 2016, there was a deal to increase my payment 10 a month for a 2017, and I really wanted the upgraded navigation package that came with that 10 a month increase...

    I'm actually wondering if the tire is just shot (I just noticed the pressure dropped again). I'm really hoping it is not a bearing, and a wheel.
