That's a good alignment. People may comment that the 3rd Gen numbers were used (notice the 2020-2023 in the header)... It doesn't matter. Alignment numbers are alignment numbers. And Toyota suspension hasn't really changed in 30 years. A good tech can make a truck drive well with countless...

OH! I didn't even look to see that you have an SR with leaf springs. Total DERP on my part. Yeah, that's most likely just the bed. It would be worth confirming that your axle is centered under the frame as well, just to rule that out.

The difference in wheel poke may have little to do with the bed alignment, and could be mostly due to the rear suspension having a panhard bar. Is your truck's rear suspension lifted at all?

Oh jeez... I have a lot of stuff in my Taco. It's a culmination of needing things over the years and being prepared. Almost everything has been needed at least once and has a purpose. I also guarantee this list is forgetting stuff. Under the back seat: Bottles of water in ziplock bags Get home...

Shouldn't be an issue. Discount Tire does this at all my local locations, and they seem to prefer it over using the lifts. If the alignment was recently done, take it back to whoever did it since that work is likely under warranty. Also - check your tire pressures with a good gauge. Incorrect...

The off brand Chinese Android head units have been getting better and better over the last five years or so. There are still some duds, but if the seller has good reviews, and sells other products with good reviews, it could be worth it.

This. I bet your fans are unplugged.

Yep, EVAP system leakdown test. I freaked out the first time I heard mine do it. The manual says something about it too. It happens 5hr after shutdown.

Especially when our trucks have driver adjustable modes that do WAY more than any pedal controller can do. And I'll say it again for people in the back: The ONLY thing that these pedal controllers can do is to simulate the driver pushing the throttle pedal more or faster. Which can be done...

So..... Why haven't you just taken it back to them and gotten it fixed for $300? Seems like a small price to pay to have this resolved.

Spot on. I'm in the PNW, which is WET for a solid 50% of the year, damp for 25% of the year, and dry-ish for the other 25%. Skinny tires feel very sketchy on wet asphalt. Add in some road debris or uneven surfaces and traction will snap loose much quicker. Skinny tires also need higher psi to...

I've seen both videos. Neither one actually tests the tires in real conditions. Tire width affects the feel and performance for daily driving, snow, sand, mud, rocks, and... Everything. And I'm not just talking about the carcass width - tread width has an even larger impact. Load rating also...

Tires don't change the suspension, so that wouldn't void any warranty coverage.

So the first dealership said they could fix it for $300, correct?

This is correct - if your suspension is stock, alignment is covered under warranty for 1yr/12k. Once the suspension is modified, it's all on the owner.

Nice! I had to buy an overlay kit for a Limited Taco, and only use the grill badge, so this one saves $25 or so.

The Toyota factory bottle jack is honestly the best bottle jack available. Carry a wide block of wood to get additional height, or maybe a Hi-Lift sand/mud base.

Yep. I Google searched the image, and it's an Ikon Technologies GPS tracker. Commonly used in rental, loaner, demo, or BHPH lot cars. Sometimes added as a dealership option but nobody ever really wants it. If your truck is leased, leave it. If you own your truck, remove it.

Yep, it's an SR. Not a TRD Prerunner. The unpainted rear bumper is a dead giveaway, along with the lack of fog lights.
