    Hello Everyone,

    I have a 4cyl. 2013 Tacoma PreRunner SR5. I have had it a week. Recently I opened the hood (very heavy btw) and it looked like the engine was tilted to the left. Is that normal?
    Thanks

    check to see if the motor mount(s) are sunk into the frame. earlier years around 05-07 the motor mounts would cave in but have been fixed since. not sure if such a problem happened on the 4 cyl. though.

    My 2011 I4 was tilted. Everyone I've seen has the tilt.
