    You know I'm so glad I do not have a romantic relationship with my truck. It gets me where I'm going it gets me back what more can you ask.

    It’s indicative to the chassis. Tundras have a slight twist as well.

    I noticed it once on my 2013 when I first got it, went “huh, yea, I see it”, and then got on with my life and thousands and thousands of uneventful miles.

    Probably not. I think it’s totaled.

    I had a 2007 Colorado with noticeable lean. Haven’t noticed it on my 2019 Taco.

    I don’t know what the hell we’re looking at in that photo. But cheapest way is probably to let air out on your passenger side.

    Had it on my 2008 Canyon and my 1998 Mustang. Probably had it on my 2002 Caravan too if I bothered to measure and likely have it on my 2017 Tacoma. It's just the settling of the suspension from the location of the tank as well as the driver.

    My lift had a drivers side and passenger side coil over and rear springs. Not Bilsteins lol but I feel like most company’s try and compensate for it by having two different shock setups? But even then it can still happen. Like another person said it happens in other vehicles too.

    some ........not many compensate for the driver 95% of the time is SOLO

    resulting in the LEAN !!!

    on a vehicle that if it were a Virgin is NOT symmetrical front/ back or side to side weight on eah wheel

    we could walk thru ANY mall parking lot with a tape measure and even the soccer mom vehicles would predominantly show the apparent lean

    its NOT an oversight by toyota or a conspiracy

    I don’t notice any lean in my truck but my wife is REALLY fat. So maybe find yourself a heavyset lady friend.

    maybe explore the 4Runner theory... although that could be more costly than the Billys

    As I stated, every vehicle I've ever owned has had this to some degree. Ford, GMC, etc. You mainly just notice it on your own vehicle, especially if you measure it. Not sure why it is called the "Taco lean."

    just get your self a women that weighs about 300 pounds to even it out. Put her in the backseat for equal weight distribution though.

    I was at my brothers house today and noticed that taco lean...until i got out of the truck, and looked at his driveway it was parked into. It leaned toward the driver side of the truck.
