| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1. front wheel alignment shifts under load(in spec) as much as 1/4 in. this toe out causes excessive and dangerous tire wear. tires came apart after 3000 mi. the vehicle is hard to control with toe out of this magnitude. i have to get the alignment done with a load in the truck to be able to safely steer it and get some respectable tire wear. god save an unsuspecting driver! 2. rear springs bottom out "hard" causing the vehicle to jump. the rear spring bumper to axle housing space is 1 in. (with load). toyota says "don't load it, it's not really a truck! these two items make this vehicle tricky to drive and is setting drivers up for a real road test. |
