    20 inch rims
    This is my 4th tundra in the past 12 years

    Vibration/shake from 35mph to 60mph
    Feels like a Ford 1 ton ,Sometimes worse than others,weird feeling under seat,
    1500 miles on it ,
    Did it from day one,Change rims back to the 20 inch rims that were on my 2014 with no issues
    Dealer says ya something there, but not sure what ,will call tech support,tech support says no issues heard of.
    Dealer says its how they all are ,
    Im not impressed with Toyota Customer care at this point.
    Any thoughts

    K.G.

    My guess- needs road force balancing

    lol at "its how they all are." No, it's not. Take one off their lot for a drive. There'll be a difference.

    If you cured it by switching wheels/tires, like Sean said, sounds like the tires aren't balanced properly.

    All my past Tundras went down the road as smooth as a corvette.
    Not tires or rims ,
    Stock 18 inch tires rims = shake
    20 rims and new tires balanced twice =shake
    thinking unbalanced driveshaft ?

    I wonder if Toyota dealer school teaches that "They all do that" line. No....they don't.

    So anyways, do you have a rear lift (your truck, not you)? Sometimes that can cause a drive-shaft vibration which can be resolved with a carrier bearing drop kit.

    I have a 2015 Pro and after it sets for for the work day and i head home, the tires shake for about 2 minutes then goes away. The Tundra will flat spot tires after setting, outside temp makes it more noticeable. You really notice it when you have immediate access to the highway i say within 1/2 mile. I've seen it on 18s & 20s, if you feel the vibe then it goes away, that's it, if not then look at your center u-joint.
