Taco Lean, warranty claim?

Noticed my truck leaning a little. I thought it was just the way the driveway sits, but then I measured the wheel wells and the left side is an inch lower than the right. Would the taco lean be fixed under warranty?

 

Lol..

Normal

 

It’s not Friday.

 

it's never sat like that before.

 

To give you a serious answer, no, it would not be fixed under warranty. These trucks have been like this since the dawn of man, which is why there's even the term "taco lean" for it. The dealer would do nothing for you, because there's nothing to be done unfortunately.

 

That sucks man.

Well TW is making me paranoid again, im gonna go measure pretty soon here. Will let you know on my findings. I only got 18k miles on my 18.

 

I started picking up big girls. Balanced it out for me. There are other perks too.

 

Amateur, I've got 5661 on my 2018 as this morning.

 

31000 on my 18

guess I just have to pick up bigger girls...

 

Why do you think this is unexpected or why is it a problem for you? Mine’s off by a inch last i checked but I can’t tell the difference without a tape measure.

 

Damn! You could probably sell it to CARVANA for 48k haha.

 

Why did I buy a third gen...

 

Cuz its got the 3.5, duh. Best engine ever.




I do actually like it

 

I've done quite a bit of research on this. Not only is this completely normal for Tacomas, it's a common issue amongst other mid-sized pickups as well.

 

Throw a little spacer under the lower side. Done.

 

Driver weighs too much. Diet.

 

This has probably been discussed to death on this forum, but assuming the lean is due to uneven wait distribution is there a good reason Toyota put the gas tank and battery on the driver’s side?

 

TW spacer lift hate coming here soon.

 

2016 93k miles . An ome lift fixed mine 60k ago . It may have to do with the swing out spare mount hanging to the right though . If mine was leaning slightly it wouldn’t bother me much . Toyota did do a leaf spring recall maybe he’s affected guys? I’d give it a shot op . If it bugs you it may not hurt to ask .
