“Rear passenger leaf springs failing at 60k miles. I notice the when looking at the truck, it sits unevenly. I've noticed the ride hasn't seemed as stable/sturdy and then noticed the issue with the suspension, I'm assuming its leaf spring related as there are numerous issues mentioned on various forums but I've not noticed a recall issued yet.”
NHTSA complaint #11083396, filed 2018-04, 60,000 miles“Like many others on here, my truck bed and structure has rusted over certain supports from the bottom up. My vehicle has had a topper since it was new, and it has now developed heavy rust under the paint in the front corners over a brace. There are many forum entries and complaints about this issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11090451, filed 2018-04, 109,500 miles“Driving and noticed a strange sound coming from my truck. I stopped at a gas station and was told that my leaf spring was cracked. It actually was 2 springs that were cracked. There is no recall on my car at this time, but I have spoken to several mechanics who say this is highly unusual to happen and Toyota should be covering this. Of course, when I went to the Toyota dealership, they would not even look at the charge without charging over a $100 fee since the car was no longer under warranty. …”
