Your describing exactly what I said. I even told the foreman that it feels a little like I got a massaging seat for no extra charge. Only problem is that I can't turn it off and on a seven hour road trip, it gets annoying even if it is mild. I had to fight to get the dealer to swap me into...
Mine was not violent. A mild vibration that is tolerable, until you go on a long road trip and realized you just paid a lot of money for a vehicle that should at drive smooth on smooth highway roads. Mine was as you describe after 70mph. However, if you have a place to get it over 80mph, it...
This is a great thread. I am going to remove that big square floor panel and just hinge it up by the seat. Maybe screw on a strap near the rear bumper to easily lift it after I remove the connectors. I will put some rubber liners on the metal floor and have some shallow storage for stuff I...
It wasn't the tires for me. You guys should read this thread:
Do you have a vibration in your 4R? Dealer having issues diagnosing? (Blaming tires?)

I have no idea what trim levels, or what months of production might be effected. Just curious Brumey, are you looking to trade the 4runner for the F150? I am also not feeling all that excited about keeping this second 4runner they gave me. I waited almost 5 months to get the configuration I...
Don't know if anyone is even still watching this thread but long story short: my Toyota dealer could not fix my vibration issues. They swapped rims, tires, front and rear driveshafts, and all the U-joints. It still vibrated so they said they are actually sending it back to Toyota for some...
The speedometer is not correct on the sr5 with stock tires, at least on mine it was not. Verified with gps, my vehicle was going 66 mph gps speed and my speedo would read 70 mph. Apparently Toyota calibrates all the 4 runners the same despite the sr5 coming stock with baby tires. I had to put...
Sport mode has a good bit of fake sound pumped in from the Toyota engine sound enhancement (ESE) FWIW. I have a base sr5 and confirmed this by toggling it on and off with Carista while driving. I know your not supposed to drive with carista plugged in but I did it anyway. I kind of like the fake...
Can you expand on what lift or phasing is? Mine feels like the engine is missing or there is a loose motor mount, but that is not the issue. I put it in manual shift and changed rpm, I also tried 4wd, and tried neutral at high speed. Same vibration. This is why I also suspect the driveshaft...
I have a mechanic in my family, but he lives too far away to look in person. However, after describing what's happening, he suspects the driveshaft U-joint, which is ironically the exact part the vibrating tacos are being recalled for. He also said to have the dealer check the balance of the...
I figured I would at least give the dealer an opportunity to fix it before complaining. I purchased the tires elsewhere, so those were not done by the dealer but they know that they have now been replaced twice. If the shop foreman does not fix it on the 16th, then I will file the complaints. I...
I replaced the tires, and then Goodyear replaced those tires on them because I still have vibration. After 3 sets of tires now, I am confident it is not the tires. I wish it was.
I am not sure if this will also effect our 4runners, but I know they share a lot of the same parts as the Tacoma. I have an appt with the service shop foreman in 2 weeks and I will certainly show him this Tacoma drivetrain recall, especially since vibration is a symptom...
I got new Goodyear Workhorse HT 265/70 r17 tires yesterday. SL rated HT, not the AT. I wanted the best chance of highway tires to smooth this thing out. Unfortunately I believe there is still vibration. I go on a highway trip on Friday and will confirm back afterwards, but I honestly think it's...
FWIW, I have had this issues before and my new SR5 has it now. The OEM Bridgestone Duelers have been road force balanced 3 times now and everything checks out ok according to dealer. In my experience, everywhere you go on any given day will road force balanced the tires and say they were out of...
I was stil waiting for mine and it has not showed up yet. The delivery date kept getting pushed back. It now says Sept 20th which is rediculous cause it was built in April and supposed to be delivered end of May. I finally found a base model 4x4 without all the port installed stuff at another...
I am in the same exact situation. Deposit was done in April. Vehicle is sitting at the Portland rail yard. It says ETA Aug 12th - Sept 2nd. I already posted my rant in this thread. It is what it is. Toyota does not seem in any hurry to push out these QC vehicles, at least not enough to put some...
That's exactly what I mean. My ordered SR5 got to port around May 14th. It's August and I still don't have it. They continued to build and deliver new vehicles with the correct parts in the meantime, which means that they do indeed have the correct parts. I would think the QC vehicles should...
