2023 OR - Bouncy ride at 45+

this really needs to happen, OP just might not like the truck,, that's what it's sounding like.
I am sure rather than chasing their tail, the local dealer is willing to call and arrange a test drive when they get one in.

 

I went from a 2009 TRD Off Road 2wd to a 2023 TRD Off Road 4wd.
The 2009 has brand new 2023 TRD tire & wheel takeoffs & new Bilsteins & progressive springs, ball joints, sway bar ends, rotors & brake drums.
There is 0 comparison to ride quality on freeway. the 09 is like a car compared to the new truck. I wouldn't say mine shakes, bounces but it's definitely a firmer drive. With 500 miles on it now, I'm either getting used to the firmer ride or it's breaking in. I have been driving it on some washboard dirt roads to loosen things up.
Yours doesn't sound normal to me. Look at your wheels & see if one has a shitload of wheel weights on it. Perhaps some weights have fallen off.

 

Front passenger was out of balance 1oz... they added a weight. Steering no longer vibrates.

Back is getting done this afternoon.

 

This is my third 3rd gen OR Tacoma the last 7 years. I knew what I was getting.

There's off road suspension and then there's a shitty ride.

 

Bumpy could be the road and vibrations might be the tire balance. Try a balance with an actually tire shop. Dealers are bad about rotating without balancing the tires.

 

Not a common issue so far as I’m aware but maybe they handled it roughly on transit or at the distributor. Either way the dealer needs to drive it with you, and make it right.

Scrolling back, did I read correctly that you’ve personally had wheel/balancing issues on your ‘19, ‘21, and now the ‘23?

 

Had 3... 3 out of balance wheels.

It's fixed. Horrible quality control from Toyota.

 

Surprised the dealer didn't want to balance them. May want to call Toyota corp to get a refund if you paid for it. This should have been a warranty claim. Also may want to find a better dealer.

 

Turns out I paid for a 12-point service at this auto repair place years ago when I got new tires for my wife that carries over to family vehicles and it included balancing. I didn't realize it. I had all intentions of getting my money back from Toyota. That local dealership is trash. Always has been.

 

sounds like you'd know then.
Why so many 3rd gens and other vehicles?

 

Because I have a truck buying problem.

 

Interesting enough, I've typically traded in every 2 years and have never once been upside down or put anything down.

 

It’s disappointing honestly, waited 4 hours today to have an alignment done and the steering wheel is still crooked. 2k miles on mine.

also I just noticed today the door strikers are too far in and I have to slam my doors to close them. At first I thought it was normal until I was walking around the dealership and opened a few tacomas they had that were normal.

 

Normal.

 

Wrong.

 

I am.glad you got it solved , I knew the tires themselves were not the problem. The Pro comes with the same tires and they rode smooth . I put some others on 265 75 16 and a buddy of mine with an off road snatched them up the day I took them off. It's amazing how different service departments can be , I pass by my nearest one because it's long waits and bad service.

 

That was a joke. Glad you got it sorted.
