Does a Tacoma become a Rattle Trap with Time and Mileage?

I drive on city streets, avoid potholes and I go easy on it. I have less than 5,000 miles on a 2010 TRD Sport and it already rattles. Passenger seat has a very annoying squeak and just recently I have noticed some rattling coming from the dash. I haven't been able to pinpoint it yet. Aside from these annoyances, the worst is the knocking/rattling noise coming from the engine on cold start-up.

 

My old 1999 taco ( RIP ) had 106k and was as solid as the day I bought it......but then Toyota bought it back cause of frame rot....

 

I thought mine had rattles until I drove my son's F-150 last week. Most of mine are from all the shit in the bed, center storage and glove box, clean her out and I think she'd be quiet.

 

the only rattle i have is from the two 10"s in the back rattling the metal bar behind the seat but a blanket between them stopped that

 

06 TRD oR4BY....I HEAR MUD HITTING THE UNDERNEATHE WHEN I HIT ROAD.....sorry caps lock

 

Every truck does!!!

 

93k miles.... resort to my lastest thread about my truck (hint: its a rant thread)

 

my passenger seat shakes on the freeway!

 

im just pissed i have over 25 k into my truck and if i drive out the driveway with the windows cracked it makes a big fu#$king clunk as the front wheels articulate over the 2" curb.. already replaced the ffing shocks and flapping front bumper... what next?

 

And people say NOT to buy the 1st of anything. My 05 runs like new.

 

ouch............

 

Sure it's not the front mud flaps hitting? I drive one spot where this happens. No big deal for me once I figured out what it was.

 

my girlfriend has one year on her and rattles like crazy i just tune it out

 

had an 02 tacoma (60,XXX miles) never rattled
had an 03 H2 (32,XXX miles) that thing had parkinsons desease, no offense ppl
09 tacoma (23,XXX miles) rock solid truck and i abuse it on a weekly basis

 

Mine is too new to tell.

I can say with experience that a Chevy will rattle and squeak all day long as soon as you pick it up from the lot new. BTDT

The worse thing about the last 2 Chevy's I had was the exhaust ticking...used to be they would tick a little when cooling down after shutting off the motor...but the 2008 I had ticked almost all the time. Drove me nutz at the stoplight.

The dealership tech told me it's because of CAFE mileage standards...they are running the motors lean to squeeze the MPG #'s...in turn this makes the exhaust very hot.

 

147xxx kms and it rattles like crazy! just turn up the stereo when you cant find the new one...

 

My 2005 Taco has 62,xxx miles on it and it is tight and handles great even with a 3'' lift kit and mud tires on it, it still drives like a brand new one.





I love my Taco.

 

my 2004 rattles and squeaks like a mo fo... and no, it's not all from the LT susp

 

You're doing it wrong. Maybe it's her head banging up against the head board ?

 

I've had a strange buzzin sound coming from around my glovebox area at certain RPM's on my 2006. I now have an '11 with less than 200 miles on it and it also does it.

Does anybody else experience this??
