    Does anyone know how to adjust the door to pull in closer to truck? It’s only a few weeks old. It was ordered and picked up by me as soon as it hit lot. 1CA84F5F-A213-4D76-9BA3-9F6148CD01EB.jpg

    Tough to see in the picture, how does it look compared to the other side? Either way, set up an appointment with your local Toyota dealer and they should send it to the body shop.

    absolutely make the dealer address that... I had to realign my bed, bumper myself when the dealer was no help though. and my front passenger quarter panel is uneven as well (if you look closely may think it had been wrecked - it hasn't). truck is running fine though the workmanship on body assembly has been a pretty common issue from what I've seen. this is worse than most I've seen though - they should fix it

    It was built in Texas. Started on a Friday night and finished Monday morning.

    That's too bad. That won't fit with the normal narrative.

    I would definitely take it to the dealer to fix. Should be covered by them or Toyota warranty.

    I find this hard to believe. This is how we adjust the doors at the factory.

    That does look pretty bad, definitely take it back to the Dealer.
