I have a 2009 double cab 8′ bed 5.7 liter engine and I’m not happy with truck the dealer or Toyota . I’m regretting buying it , I contacted toyota about the bed bounce they emailed me back saying put weight in the back or buy better shocks, the paint scratches very easy, the fuel milage sucks. The dealer has been horrible to deal with my wife has a camry and wants a new one I told her no more Toyotas in our life. I’ve had a lot better treatment at the ford and chevy dealerships

chris – Definitely sounds like an alignment problem (but tire inflation could be part of the issue). Did you get the tires rotated once already? If it was an alignment problem, all the tires would have uneven wear.

Chris try another dealership and find out about the front end alignment. I got my first alignment at 15,000 miles and every 15,000 after. I got over 61,000 miles on my first set of Duelers. I currently have 68,500 miles on my 07 Crewmax Limited.

I have had my Tundra for 2 yrs and it only has 20,000 miles yet the front tires are worn out on the outside edges. Savannah Toyota is telling me that there is not a problem with the truck and that this is due to hard cornering. I have 3 year old and I do don’t drive “hard”. The tires have been rotated every 5k(i missed 1 rotation) needless to say this will be my last experience with savannah toyota.

Grid,
What gives? You don’t trust your own countrymen to build you a solid truck? So I guess all those old domestic trucks still on the road were rebuilt by the Japanese? I don’t think so. The best country in the world builds the best trucks in the world…period.

Good to hear Grid. I get the same mpg’s if I do 55mph on the interstate to and from work.

I must be the only person who got a good truck – 07 crew cab 4×4 5.7 – My truck gets 23 mpg hwy and 16mpg pulling my big trailer. It has 84,000 mile and drives like new. Yes, there is some bed bounce but I deal with it. I have not had ANY problems with motor or trans. I do all the maintainence myself because I dont trust the dealerships or repair shops. I have owned 4 Toyotas in the past and all were built in Japan so I was expecting problems with this truck because it was built in USA. Not the case.

I drive a 07′ Tundra my company bought new in Sept. of 07. Mechanically sound so far. But sure glad I did’nt buy it. Clips inside tailgate a constant problem, finally took apart myself, drilled the rod and put kotter pin in it. Why could’nt Toyota do that. Seats are very uncomfortable, can’t get the wheels balanced properly, and at only two years old now, the radio has quit. No Toyota pickups for me.

07 trunda at 36,000 miles SVC light 4 wheel low light and check engine light all come on. Vechile was taken to local Toyota shop. Service rep quoted when these three lights come on at the same time tranismission needs replaced. Toyota replaced transmission at no cost. Today five hundred miles into new transmission all three lights come on again. Toyota is back to the shop for repair. Maybe this time I get more that five hundred miles and I have a lot of faith that the repairs will be made or I will visit the Chevrolet dearler across the street.
