    Hi

    Im wondering if there is anyone here thats has a new Tundra that pulls to the right, I bought a brand new Tundra and its been to the shop 3 times and they cannot get this thing aligned, Toyota knows about it there is a TSB and still they dont seem to care. If anyone has had this problem fixed can you share your alignment specs or whatever you have done here

    Thanks.

    I have a 2020 also, 3500 miles on it and although it doesn't pull and seems to drive fine. I was just scrutinizing the front tires and noticed the outsides of both front tires are wearing fast.

    Looks like I need to contact the dealership about getting the alignment straightened out, at the current rate of wear I'll need new tires way to soon. It's always something.:mad:

    Do you know the TSB number, I have searched multiple tsb databases and can not find a thing regarding steering or alignment.

    What is a "TCI"? I'm experiencing some cupping on the outsides of both front tires on my 2020. Would love to look this up, but cannot find anything online that comes up with that reference.

    No, but I have access to a number of official Toyota TSB bulletins and could not find anything regarding your issue.

    Outside tread wear is underinflation. I run 45 in mine front and back. Tire wear is just fine.

    There’s a lot of reports of tundras pulling to the right. Seems like most say it’s the road crowning. Sometimes mine pulls and sometimes it goes straight. Try different roads before you go in again to check it.

    My 19 pulled right..dealer confirmed but said it wasnt signifigant enough to re-align.. said its the roads..

    Took it to a really good alignment shop.. yes it was ‘in spec’ but he tweaked it by a degree or so and now it drives perfect...

    I am probably going to have to take mine different shop as well. Dealer said camber was in spec before alignment so didn’t adjust.

    I’ve been getting cupping and more wear on the outer edges of each tire. Seems like the inner edge of each isn’t cupping and has more tread left.

    Same here. Installed the 305/18's and had it aligned. Went on a 500 mile road trip and felt it was pulling th tohe right. Took it back to the shop for another alignment, it's not quit as drastic......but it still pulls to the right
