Check the rubber stops that are under your hood in the front. There are two-one on each side. Adjust them by turning them. I know this sounds way too easy, but it could be that simple. It was for me.

Nope, it’s just two round rubber bumper, caps, studs, whatever they’re called. One on either side at the front. Apparently, they’re adjustable.

This right here! The service guy was laughing at us because we told him we thought it was the suspension and when we picked it up he told us it was the rubber under the hood! They’d spent well over an hour checking everything underneath.

He’s content *♀️. I’d have paid that much if I’d wanted one.

I had a 2015 Trail Edition.

This past January we were paid $28,000 for a 2015 Trail, completely stock with about 85,000 miles when insurance totaled it. Maybe that will give you a starting point for a possible payout. Pass on a truck that was used as a drug mobile, the tiniest bit of fentanyl can do a lot of harm and I...

I’m not sure if this is the same problem as yours, but I noticed my bumper was loose on my 2018 and was going to take it in to the dealership for repair, I had assumed someone bumped it in a parking lot. I started pushing around on it and it popped into place with very little pressure. Maybe I...

Our 2018 SR5 will do this if the wheels aren’t balanced correctly. I know that sounds oversimplified, but I’ve had to take it multiple times for re-balancing after putting new tires on it. I always put the OEM tires on our trucks, so this isn’t about saying it could be the tires because they...

Same here.

It seems as if a fairly large segment of the people who post on this site “never pay MSRP”. Ok, great for you. I’m not buying it. I just bought my sixth Toyota in the last 25 years, some of them were traded in for newer models, one of them I financed for my son, and one of them my husband...

My insurance paid me $28k+ last month when they totaled my 2015 Trail with KDSS and it had 120k+ miles on it (not sure but closer to 130k). So, maybe it’s not too far off the mark? *♀️

Our 2015 Trail was totaled in what seemed like a simple accident, the airbags never went off and the other person’s car isn’t really that bad. The woman in front of my husband slammed on her brakes in a 45 mph zone and he was flowing too closely. He tried to go off to the side and hit her rear...

I bought a ‘22 TRD Off-Road Premium on Thursday night. I called many Phoenix area dealers for a week prior and got stories that ranged from 5k over MSRP to “we don’t have any in stock and we’re taking reservations and you’re #37”. I ended up buying from Earnhardt Toyota in Mesa for MSRP. On...

I paid off my 2015 Trail with KDSS and then we bought a 2018 SR5 4x4, and my husband took the Trail and gave me the new one. I miss my Trail, the ride was smoother for whatever reason and it’s been scratched up from desert driving and my husband backed into a metal barrier (had it repaired)...

I’ve owned a 1986 4-Runner 4WD, a 2004 2WD, a 2008 4WD, and now we have a 2015 Trail and a 2018 SR5 4WD. When we decided to trade in the 2008 on a new one I told the salesman that I was fine with a 2WD this time since we still own the Trail. Then when he told me that the 2WD SR5 doesn’t have...
