    Yeah.
    Maybe their machine that tests the wheels is bent, or the tech is bent?

    But seriously, I had a 2009 with steelies and one of the wheels was never right. The tire on that wheel would wear funny. I found some alloy takeoffs and never looked back (but I did have to get new TPMS sensors since they are different). Steel wheels are made differently, and apparently there is a supplier out there with poor quality control.

    I wouldn’t worry about that. If you do your maintenance on time and be nice to the truck, it will be nice to you for a long time. While your truck is under warranty, don’t wait on anything else like this, get it addressed right away.

    As for the wheels, they are made by some outside vendor who’s having QC issues from the sound of it. Hopefully Toyota makes this right for you! Good luck!

    You’re gonna go to some house in the suburbs of Shenzhen where there’s a guy on an iron lung and there’s a brand new Bugatti parked up front.

    I once had a car sit 4 years on bare concrete (learned a lesson) upon getting it on the road it shook at speed. Took it to a tire dealer, they spun the wheels on a balancer and told me all four rims were bent. Continued to drive and over a couple of months the vibration went away. Bottom line tires can show the same symptoms as a bent rim when spinning.

    Dump the steelies. Never look back.

    I had the OEM tonneau cover on my 2017, it will NOT drop the back end and change engine acoustics. It's like at most a 30 lb panel.

    That is such a golden flood of bull shit! If anyone tells you that laugh in their face.
