Reminder...Do a Careful Walk Around on Your New Truck

Can't all this be fixed by loosening a few bolts, aligning, and torquing the bolts back up? Should take all of a few minutes.

 

My OCD would absolutely NOT allow this...

 

After drinking a few beers the bumper will look just fine

 

I have noticed on my 2018 Trd Sport with 5,000 kms that the bed is not aligned properly. The bed sticks out more on one side than the other. Looks like to me that this is a issue coming from the production line. Once the weather warms up I will loosen the bed my self and align it straight. Did anyone else have this problem?

 

I climb up in the bed and look at the top of the cab also.

 

Easy fix. Just cruise around the mall parking lots until you find a Ferrari. Back over the hood of it until your bumper lines up properly.

 

Maybe it got pushed down putting the shell on . Bolts might not be tight enough .

 

Same thing happened to me when i bought my '16. Thought i was crazy for a while at first, then thought it was undisclosed damage....but this is just an adjustment issue (if it bothers you enough). I haven't spent enough time looking at the rear end to do anything about it yet. I was glad to find out it was pretty common.

 

Bumper is off on mine. Since day 1. Meh.

 

If you zoom in, OP really does look like that

 

Is that George W Bush taking the picture?

 

Hahahahaha.....

Thanks for the advice guys...I will try to adjust it myself when I get a few minutes. I thought it was a more complicated issue than that...

 

My one side is up 1/8 inch and the other side is down 1/8 inch so add knot plus knot knot = perfect

 

Thanks for the guide. I will be sure to use it when I align my bed

 

I think he is one of the original Hardy Boys.

 

Common issue, easy fix. Shouldn't even need to contact Corporate for something this minuscule, dealer is just being a butthole. Mine is a bit like this too but not as extreme as yours. I'll adjust mine whenever I have some free time.

 

My is off also

 

Loosen the bracket,lift it with a jack,align, and retighten the bolts,simple.

 

Mine had this issue and the dealer fixed it best they could..


Every taco i drive behind has this issue...lol..

 

It’s a Tacoma thing. We don’t even understand.
