Is this normal?

I was washing this bad-boy when I noticed the weld-seams by the drip channels seem awfully warped. Did I get just get unlucky or are they all this wobbly?

I’ve had a. ‘24 and now a ‘26. I don’t disagree with you, but yes totally normal.

ok, phew! Thanks for the reply! I’ve had plenty of cars/rides in the past , and none of them looked like this. Was a little worried there.

Hey is that the Bronze Oxide color? I debated for a month over what color to order my new Taco Limited.....Bronze Oxide, Supersonic Red, or Heritage Blue. Since the Limited has chrome wheels and front grill, I went with Bronze Oxide but, boy, good luck finding ANY model at the dealership with that color....folks buy them faster than a fat kid grabs a cupcake!!

yup! It’s bronze oxide! It’s actually the color that caught my attention and made me look closer into tacos (I was originally planning on going 4Runner)

That is sealer material that has been smoothed out and painted over. It's definitely an odd detail on Toyota's part.

As previously stated. Totally normal. I read somewhere that the uneven surface help to keep water from staying there. Maybe BS, but I'll believe it.

I see..has this been the norm on previous Tacomas and other Toyota products? This is my first Toyota, so wasn’t sure if this was SOP for the company.
