New truck needs alignment?

Mine as well, almost like it was set that way at the factory to compensate for spring settling.

OP, how about yours?

 

Hey, if no one's said it yet congrats on the new truck !

 

Appreciate all the help guys! Yeah it's slanted at the top. I will get a pic asap. I apologize just busy at work

 

Noticed my alignment was off initially. Didn’t worry about it too much because I was putting new tires on it soon. Tires went on at about 2K miles. Took it in for the 5K service. Toyota dealership refused to do anything, for the service or for the alignment, blaming the tires.

Took it to a pro 4X4 shop. They aligned it and gave me the printout of before after. It was way off before, even counting for different tires. The shop said most trucks leave the lot with a sub-par alignement

 

Awesome great to know!

 

Here is the pic of the front end, please let me know what ya'll think.

 

Agree here. To the OP, have the dealer do an alignment.

When we purchased our Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio it tracked true and straight; nothing to indicate a crappy alignment. Well at 3k miles the front tires looked like this:



It was worn down to the threads. Now with the Tacoma, it would be easier to see the wear but don't wait, have them look at it. After getting the new tires we had an alignment done on the Quadrifoglio and boy was it WAY off.

 

My dealer has equipment that automatically checks the alignment when you drive into the service area. Not sure if they all have this now.

 

Wow you are proud of your car. It’s just an Alfa.

 

I’m just glad it’s not a Beta.

 

Take the truck back too the dealer,make them fix it.

 

Both my tundra and tacoma looked like this. Even immediately after an alignment. I never worried about it too much. I just make sure to rotated and align every 5k miles and I've never had an issue with irregular tire wear

 

I think that would be a Ridgeline...

 

Factory tires tend to wear out within 25,000-30,000 miles or so. Unless Toyota puts way better tires on their autos than other car makers...

 

I have an appointment tomorrow morning at the dealer to have them look at this! Thanks guys and I'll let you know what I find out.

 

Alignments are done to the tenth of a degree. You usually cant "see" a car out of alignment regardless of how out it is. Have em check it because it's so new. How's it handle on the highway? Sketchy changing lanes?

 

My toyo open country tires were worn bad at 35000 miles. The outside edges were basically bald. They were wearing very bad. Dealer did several alignments and all that jazz. I was told I was driving to fast around curves lol. So maybe slow down and see if it helps was their opinion. Also noted this issue was brought to their attention at around 15000. I enventually bought a set of nitto terra grapplers g2. Look better in my opinion lol
