    I just bought a new 2013 reg cab 4wd Tacoma. I didn't notice it when I bought it but the bed is all out of wak. It sits lower on one side and gap between the cab and bed is different on each side.

    Took it to the dealership once and they didn't do anything. Going to take it back again but was wondering if anyone has seen this???


    :confused:

    That and then walk around truck, have a tape measure, show them, fenderwell heights, gap differences, etc. Step back, make them look at it from the rear, be firm, it is a new truck with no record...sounds like it got wapped somehow before it hit the showroom floor, one of those hidden 'things' because it is not sold yet they can repair with no record....

    If they really hassle you, take it to a reputable body shop and have it checked..........

    good luck...

    Have a 2011 DCSB. Shortly after purchase I noted bed askew--almost three quarters of an inch closer to the cab on one side compared to the other. Clearance between bedsides and bumper varied from side to side. I just loosened all of the bed bolts and "bumped the whole bed assy. into a position where all measurements were equal. Not really that difficult. Looks a lot better to this anal owner.
