    Thank you

    i am a Toyota Fan. I am actually at the dealership now trying to figure out why my 2019 Tacoma trd is vibrating at low speeds. Primarily during acceleration from a stopped position.

    i just has the alignment, tire rotation, and balance done today but that was not the issue. I had spark plugs / routine tune up done about a year ago.

    i currently have about 170K on the truck.

    waiting to test drive with a Toyota technician.
    Any thoughts or advice? Please

    2019 with 170k?! Good job!! My guess would be a pinion bearing or u-joint with those miles on it.

    I will hopefully know here in the next hour or less. At the dealership and they are looking at it now.

    Appreciate the feedback.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Always start with new plugs imo. Any oil seepage where the valve cover meets the head? It may be time for valve cover and spark plug tube gaskets. Pop a coil and see if the tip is oil covered or dry

    Still don’t know. I blew a tire before getting it to my main dealership and had them look at it based off of my concerns and sharing with them the possible issues. A little unsettling considering that I’ve now had 3 different Toyota dealerships look at it without any idea.

    The vibrating has calmed down and is almost unnoticeable in most cases but every once in a while I will feel that obvious vibrating feeling.

    Probably just trade in for a new truck

    That's what I would do. Then you don't have to stress about it

    Years ago I had a Ford Aerostar van that started vibrating at very low speeds under acceleration. It was a U-joint on the driveshaft that went bad.
