Why am I gapping???

toyotas quality control there all junk i bought a 17 same problem took to dealer they done nothing then water leak around windshield traded last week for nissan pro 4 much better build and performance

 

Congrats on the Nissan

With discounts what’s the cost on the Pro4?

 

Take it in to the dealer. Just happened to notice that Toyota published a tech tip in January about the rear bumper gap (T-TT-0477-18). Get enough people taking it in and they'll at least start collecting some data to see if there is a QC or part issue.

 

@Dacon

I would avoid messing with hood hinges, that hood is heavy and It may shift too much and you might not be able to put it back without help. You may have to tinker with the rubber stops a little more. Mine’s not perfect, but is acceptable compared to how it was at delivery.

 

WTF??? That needs to go back for an adjustment....

 

The fifth guy looks like Bono.

 

...work ethic, attention to detail, pride and sense of ownership.

 

....and that’s just lunch break...

 

Yup , sad

 

Back to this old post. After checking out numerous Tacomas, I have found that stuff doesn't always line up "nice and neat". I have adjusted my Tacoma's hood so that it lines up OK with the fenders...both the gap and the height. Originally the passenger side of the hood was low to the fender and the driver side was high to the fender. The hood to the grille shell fit almost perfectly. With the adjustments I made hood to fenders, the hood to the grille shell is a little bit raised on the passenger side and a little low on the driver side. How did it turn out for you other perfectionists who made hood adjustments? Who would notice this but me? Hardly anyone. I'd have to tell them what to look for.

 

Thank you
Fit & Finnish is a joke on the American made tacomas

 

On the access cab.The more you study it the more shit you find out of wack. Do they have q.c. department in texas?

 

You guys are putting yourselves through a hell of your own making. It's a utility vehicle. Let it go.

JUST. LET. IT. GO.

That or start your own forum for OCD freaks and leave the rest of us alone. You are seriously ruining the quality of life of everyone that can't help reading this clown show of a thread.

 

Thank you for the laugh! Humor is important!

 

same issue!! Anobody figured it out?

 

Too funny my passenger side has a gap like this and my drivers side looks great. In for an answer as well.

 

Oh you think that is bad don’t look at the rest of your truck . Lol

 

Same here driver side looks OK could be more snugged but passenger side easily an 1/4" gap

 

You gentlemen are standing too close to the truck.

Back up about 5-6 feet (roughly 2 m).

 

The hood looks normal to me so does you bumper. You're good
