    Just bought my tacoma and when I reach 70mph plus there is a whistling/humming sound at my drivers side door. I’ve been told it could be the weather stripping. Has anyone else had this?

    Lots of people. Myself included. It's the windshield/mirrors/weatherstripping/etc. there's a few threads around here on how to fix it.

    Humming sound could mean wheel bearing. Especially at that speed.

    Easy fix, just need a couple of feet of 1/4" round rubber and place it into the gap between your door and the weather stripping where the frame curves.

    Oh, and welcome to the club!

    well known issue of poorly designed weather stripping causing noise while driving in crosswinds at higher speeds. It's annoying and happens to me too. apparently there is a TSB for this, if you want to go argue with a dealership over it.
