    Hi all. I have a 2021 TRD Sport AT I've had for a bit over a month. Every once in a while I will notice the speedometer indicator "twitches", in the range of about 1-2 MPH. After a couple of these twitches it just returns to its normal smooth operation. Long odds of being able to replicate the problem if I take it in for service, and its something that can wait until the truck's first maintenance. Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions? Thanks! :)

    I’ve noticed my tachometer does that every once in a while too. But not the speedometer side. And this is already its second gauge cluster as the first world reset itself at random often. Seems to be something these gauge clusters do?

    Curious to see other responses here.

    My speedo twitches all the time, but it's only a problem when I'm hanging out at the beach or the hotel swimming pool....

    Until now this has only been reported on the SR trim level, I’d check with the dealership while it’s in warranty.

    Cool thanks for the info. I am going to let the dealership know when it goes in for it's first service. Was there a resolution for the SR folks?

    I think there was a giant thread on this a while back? Don’t think it was model specific. I’d search but I never find what I am looking for when on mobile.

    My 2019 TRD did the speedo twitch since new. It hasn’t gotten any worse and I just hit 40k miles. I probably should have complained about it while it still had the first portion of the warranty but I didn’t even bring it back for the free oil changes.

    I searched before I posted but didn't come up with anything. Probably used the wrong search terms.
