    I have a 2019 Taco SR5 AT.
    There is a vibration or drone type of noise at idle with truck in drive or reverse.
    It goes away when put in neutral or park. Also hear it at low speed when slowing to a stop.
    I have not been able to pinpoint where its coming from. Possibly rear of engine, transmission, exhaust area.
    Curious if anyone else has noticed or experienced this type of vibration.

    It's what I would call a droning noise when the truck is in drive stopped at idle.
    It goes away when I shift to neutral and rpm's come up slightly.
    Sometimes hear it when stopped in reverse at idle but doesn't seem to be as prominent as in drive.
    I also hear it when transmission has shifted to 1st and I am coming to a stop.
    Would call the noise a resonating or droning sound.

    So you hear a noise in addition to the vibration? I've noticed a vibration while in drive at idle, only when my AC is not on. I chalk it up to low idle. When my AC is on, the rpms kick up another 100 rpms and I don't feel it then.

    If the truck is still under warranty, perhaps have a dealer look at it.

    I plan to have the dealer check the noise.
    Just curious if anyone else has experienced the same issue with a 3rd Gen.
