    Mine has 18000kms, it has a noticable rattle inside the drivers door. My 2009 had this develop around 10 000kms as well, same sound, same location.

    I should add, this is a lot less shaking and rattleing than my '05 Frontier, that thing was a rattle box, right from new.

    Ask visa or my wife. They both constantly remind me how much I've got left to spend.
    The way to keep it from squeaking is keep modding it until everything has been replaced and/or fixed at least once. So far it's worked for me but I stay broke a lot.

    ICON Coilovers, MTR's, Icon 3-leaf, bilstein 5100, crappy stock bumper that squeaks.
    my 05 DC doesnt rattle, but the sh#$t creaks like a 1850's victorian, the doors creak when the truck flexes over speed bumps and going into parking lots, the flippin cup holders sound like a herd of mice is loose down there, and of course the factory leaf bushings are always sqeaking. Not to mention the ticticticticticticticticticticvtic.. overall think toyota is fallin off. im not at all stoked either when the dealer tried to deny me my TSBS!! Fword im glad that putz CEO was crying, shows how weak toyota is right now.

    Like the two other new cars I've owned, at first it's quiet, then it develops some rattles that last a couple thousand miles, and then those go away and it never makes another sound.

    05 65k, it's pretty damn solid still. I cannot hear any rattles except the box of 17hmr rounds behind the seat, but gopher season is over so that rattle will be replaced with AR ammo for prair dogs!

Backup cam in the tailgate handle mod.
    The rattles don't bother me it the smoke and flames coming from the engine compartment that really worries me!! Haha, The only annoying noise is when I turn up the radio and the window control panel vibrates. But the radio is real loud at that time...no wonder why i dont hear other noises!

    50k on my 05, and the only extraneous noise is the squeaky whine behind the back seat. Haven't seen my ex-wife in a long time.

    Turned over 30k today. Have a few miscellaneous squeaks and rattles. Nothing affecting the durability, but slightly annoying. I've noticed that my springs have started sqeaking when anyone gets out of the truck.
