    I just got my 2018, havent made my first payment yet and the problem is when I am braking its like the whole rear end is vibrating, The dealer said its normal,I dont get how any vibration is normal. Any ideas to why this is happening. An I have read alot on the shifting as well and the stumble All in which I have experienced. It kind sucks because Ive always wanted a tacoma and I finally got one and have had alot of these issues happening and so far not happy with this truck.I would be happier to know there is a permantant fix.

    Yeah it’s not normal don’t let them pull that bs on you. My OR doesn’t vibrate in any way. Something’s definitely wrong.

    Welcome to TW!

    I have the same thing going on when the bed is empty, however, when full it doesn't do it as much. Try using some ballast weight like three or four bags of sand it should do better.
    The truck is still new and some things like this are expected, although it's NOT NORMAL. I also suspect the rear brakes are not broken in as yet and may be a contributing factor.

    As far as the shifting that's been fixed with a TSB print the following TSBs and to dealer and they'll fix them, "Tell them you are experiencing these issues and you are concerned about related accidents, etc.

    1) Stumble TSB https://imgur.com/a/DGX9FqU

    2) Vehicle surge TSB https://imgur.com/a/DGX9FqU
