    rearbumperpassengerside.jpg rebumperdriverside.jpg Hi Everyone,

    I just got a brand new 2018 Tacoma TRD Off Road Double Cab and couple of months ago. I've noticed that there's a big discrepancy in the gap between the truck and rear bumper on the drivers side and passenger side, I know I haven't bumped anything and there's no damage at all to indicate someone else did. Is this a problem that anyone else is having with their third gen Tacoma and is there a way to correct it?

    Thank you,
    Dan

    Known problem, dealer will fix it if your still under warranty. Otherwise it a couple bolts up the bed and push it back into place.

    Take it back to the Dealer and have it adjusted, no big deal.

    That’s a big noticible difference. Didn’t see it on the lot like that?

    Just had mine fixed last week, but had it looked a couple weeks ago. My tech ordered a new center section since he said all the tabs would probably break when taking it off. There's a piece of metal behind all the plastic that, at least on mine, had to be bent/adjusted. Looks good now.
