    Does anyone else have one like this, I’m told by dealer that many Tacoma’s have this problem. I bought the Calvary Blue Pro, paid a lot of money for a truck that has a problem.

    The bumper is not aligned from one side to the other. It looks like it has been bumped.

    Take it to the dealer and let them know
    To fix it.
    You are right, gaps and needs alignment.
    QA/QC should have caught that before it left the factory. No excuse.

    What asembly plant was it built?

    Have you consulted your dealer? They'll fix it, probably just an adjustment.

    I have tried they say there is no fix but Toyota is aware of it. That a lot of the Tacoma’s have the same problem. I’m really upset about this. Had I caught it before purchasing it I wouldn’t have bought it.

    Take it to another dealership, there is a fix for it. Your not the only one that has had this issue and others have had it fixed.

    If anything, call Toyota Corporate. They are actually very helpful in getting things resolved.

    I have some body panel issues on my 2019. Toyota engineer came in to measure everything. I also have the common bed/ bumper issue as well. He was visibly and verbally agitated. He was assured the factory had corrected the build issue. My truck is from tmmtx.

    None as of yet
    Pictures?
    More likely the bed is out of alignment. Check the gap between the cab on both sides. If that is the case have the dealer square it up.

    My bumper was lower on one side than the other. Dealer said the bracket was crooked and they fixed it.

    This is a common issue. I had the dealer fix it after I noticed it. There is definitely a fix. It takes a little time, but you can do it yourself if needed. It’s not a big deal and your truck probably hasn’t been hit or damaged. The CAN fix it.

    Don’t worry OP. It’s just another one if the Village Idiots. There are plenty of them on here. Their nonsense comments help get their post count up!

    Just making fun of you. The number of posts implies you just discovered one problem. By post 500+ you'll give up asking questions...get used to the new QC standards.

    My dealership is looking into this now. Took pics and is in Toyotas hands as we speak. Going in Saturday for hopefully the body shop to realign the bumper.
