Bed seems tilted?

For the bed itself it measures from ground to top of bed side (front of bed by cab) 48.5" both sides. From ground to bottom most part of tail light (easiest for me to measure) 32.5" on drivers side and 32 and just shy 1/4" on passenger side.


For bumper it was 3/4" left and right from top of bumper to bottom of tail light (sides of truck)

 

It sure looks like a lean. And its not just you.....it would drive me crazy also.

 

Yeah, I tried looking under the truck to see if I could figure it out. Apparently I am not very mechanically inclined.

nuke it from orbit?

 

It's the only way to be sure

 

Has it ever been in an accident or possibly overloaded?

 

No accident per the Toyota Dealership and provided carfax (which doesn't mean much). As for over loaded I couldn't say either as I am the second owner.

 

was it this way since you bought it and how long ago did you buy it?

 

I bought it about 3.5 weeks ago. I don't even know if it was like this because I never really saw it. Noticed it the other day after putting a sticker on my window and standing back to check it out

 

If there is any kind of warranty I would bring it in.

 

Yeah full warranty on it. Certified and got the extra warranty that covers everything. I know I know... but might prove useful.

 

Jesus Christ!!! Just Drive the thing. It's a goddam truck...not a show car! 176,000 miles and climbing. Love this truck

 

Ya because why would you want to buy a truck in good working order, when you can buy one with a possible problem and ignore it.

 

Got in contact with service dept. of the dealer I purchased through. They said they definitely want to take a look at it and fit me in today for a peek.

 

LOL, Mine did the same thing and when I looked at the leaf packs along with the Toyota Dealership they said "its within specs and not cracked so your good" even though both sides had a BAD reverse bow (aka they were collapsed). dealer said they would replace with TSB once Toyota decided what to do OR if they broke on me. I replaced them with OME Dakars a month later.

 

So the rear corner of your bed was lower as well? I am sure I will probably get a "everything looks fine" from the dealer too but worth a shot. I can't afford to upgrade to fix an issue :/

 

yea, at first thought it was just how I parked in drive so moved it onto flat ground, once I discovered it wasn't then I noticed they were actually collapsed with drivers side lower then passenger, good luck with Dealer, just don't expect too much so your not disappointed.

 

Ah ok gotcha. Yeah, I am not expecting miracles from them. Will be shocked if they actually do something

 

Lol, Pre-TSB Toyota Leaf springs are over loaded when they mount the bed on the frame

 

As expected dealer (sister lot) said it looked fine and the measurements from center of wheel well to ground measured out same on both sides. When I asked why the bed was twisted down on the right side they had no answer. It was even parked next to another tacoma which made it even more obvious. They said they couldn't see any frame damage or anything and that if I felt I wanted them to look further into it I need to contact their service foreman at the main lot which I purchased it from.

 

Is there any difference from rear window seal to bed? It looks like a bigger gap on the right side.
