    You would need to be way more descriptive in order for anyone to help figure your problem.

    Most likely your leaf spring- either the front bushing or isolating pads. Sometimes if they get dirty, the debris (dirt) will cause a squeak. Try washing them out with your garden hose at the highest pressure you can get (or use a pressure washer) and see if that helps. Your second choice would be liberal amounts of a heavy weeping lubricant such as pb blaster or fluid film. It’d be better if you could diagnose the direct source of the squeak before resorting to lubricants though so you can avoid just randomly spraying the stuff everywhere.

    My leaf springs (I assume) are horribly squeaky. It's embarrassing how squeaky they are, just creeping the lot looking for a parking spot they are talking. I did get the truck pretty damn filthy driving on some muddy county roads....the squeak did seem to start sometime after that and I pressure washed the truck 3-4 times to get all the mud off. I need to go back and intentionally hit the leaf springs to see if things improve.

    Sounds more like a 1950's Chevy than a 2017 Toyota.

    Yup then when TW detectives dug up a bunch of pics of him off-roading through some muddy swamps he changed his screen name and tried to act like someone else until he got found out again. I remember folks saying they were going to contact the dealer and show them the pics of him off-roading in the swamp :D

    That's right cause he kept saying the only off roading he was doing was going down a dirt road and then those pics surfaced.
