Bed is loose.

My 2017 trd bed is loose on the passenger side. Thought at 1st it was the Tonneau cover but after further investigation I noticed the bed moves off the frame a little just on the passenger side. Any ideas for a good quick fix and how?

 

Tighten the bolts. Did you recently have the fuel pump recall done?

 

Tighten the bolts.

 

T55 torx bit and a breaker bar!

 

Problem: Bolt is loose.
Solution: Tighten bolt.

 

Interesting solution ^^^^^ I like this!

 

Jeeze u guys could be nicer

 

You're right. I suppose a little more information would help. Are the bolts loose? Like what was asked earlier, was any work done recently that the bed was removed for?

 

Which way is tight?!

 

Use the power of elimination. Turn one way. Check bed movement. Improved? Yes, good job you turned the right way. No? Reverse direction.

I like this thread.

 

Please tighten the bolts . Thank you .

 

Let me guess, passenger side/ front of bed?

 

If in fact the bolt is tight but it rattles anyway, this is a known issue. More predominant with 2nd Gens.

Righty! I'm a lefty so I made sure to marry a righty because... righty is tighty! Yea!

Unless...(dark clouds and general gloom) it is a spinner. Sometimes things that spin get the lefty tight treatment. A circular saw blade bolt for example.

 

Get a humor bone man! The OP got it you can too...

 

Yes it is passenger front side.no work was done. It is 3rd Gen as you know. I will look at the like you sent.

 

Bolt is likely tight. There’s a sleeve in there so tightening it doesn’t do anything, assuming they are the same as 2nd gen beds. Check out the link posted above, I had the same issue with my 2015, jammed a piece or rubber between the bed support and frame and it didn’t make another sound for a couple years.

 

My 2017's bed was mounted crooked when I got it. I loosened those 6 torx bolts on the bottom inside of the bed, holding it to the frame, aligned the bed and retightened the bolts. It's amazing how easy the bed moves with the bolts loose.
