Today at 25k I went for oil change and I mentioned a noise / clunk/creak from rear when backing and turning out of the driveway. Turns out the passenger rear fox shock is bad also. They ordered the part and it is also being covered. I have to say this is putting a bad taste in my mouth. I had a 2017 TRD off-road basic model cloth seats etc and NEVER had an issue. I sold it at 74000 miles and got a 2021 venture and no issues. Was not happy with the color and I wanted the PRO in magnetic gray and finally got it brand new with 4 miles. I’m kind of wishing I kept my 17 basic TRD OFF-ROAD. I definitely have the “new” design. I checked. Anyone else having this or just defective parts / bad luck. Thanks

The normal TRD OffRoad or Venture doesn't have the fox shocks, so it won't have the clunk issue. They use the normal black OEM Tokico shocks that come on the SR5 too, so comparing them is erroneous. The TRD Pro Fox shocks are a considerable upgrade over the basic shocks on other models like you had, so if the dealer is replacing it under warranty, why go through the hassle of swapping the whole vehicle? If it comes down to it, you could always sell the TRD Pro Foxes and go with a better aftermarket solution (Fox 2.5s, Bilstein 6112/5150) and still have a considerably better suspension set up than the crap OE shocks that come on the other models.
