    Just picked up my DCSB TRD OR on Thursday. I do not get any vibration. I've had a number of Toyota trucks, this is w/o hesitation my favorite. The ride on all surfaces is very nice.

    If it bothers you don't buy the truck. You will never be happy even though it is normal.

    I used to have a Ford Ranger. While it was a great truck, the Tacoma is far better.

    Is this a noise you are hearing or a shaking that you are feeling?

    I have noticed a very very very tiny little slight vibration in the colder weather when the truck idles up to 900-1000rpm which IMO is just because of the increase in RPM and is normal...not sure if anyone else notices this. As far as it being bothersome...no and it would not be noticeable to 95% of drivers...I'm very picky with how my vehicles run...also mine is a 6MT.

    Is it just the auto tranny's lockup torque converter trying to inch forward? Did you test drive a standard transmission?

    I have an '09 6spd with ~30k, never had this problem.
