    Bought my 13 tacoma with 2500 miles on it a month ago and the past few weeks my front end has sounded like an old bed with the squeaking. Especially backing up and driving slow speeds (Through Parking lots) dropped it off at a Toyota Dealership this morning but have not heard back yet.

    Just got a call back from Toyota after having it all day they were unable to pinpoint where the noise was coming from. The suggestion was to keep driving it and if it becomes more prominent maybe then they would be able to figure out whats causing it. So nothing really as far as help.

    Thanks! I will try and give all of these options a shot. Just bums me out cause its new. Had 2 silverados my entire driving life for 12 years and just switched over and this annoying little thing happens. Trucks great just need to get the noise to stop its a little embarrassing driving past people and sounding like and old rusted truck.

    I may have found the issue to the front end squeaking. (time will tell) When the hood is open and you bounce the truck you cant hear a thing the second i closed the hood the noise came right back. Couldn't find where anything was scratching until we looked at the hood latch. Paint was being scrapped off the bottom of the hook so my guess is that is was metal to metal noise from the front. After adding some lube i have not heard it in now 24hrs. Im sure when it dries again it will come right back so ill need to figure out a way to adjust it or see if toyota knows how to adjust the latch. Ill be back if it ends up not being the solution.
