    Caster pulling to the side with less positive caster is general terms, not vehicle specific.

    Yeah who knows. In Tennessee I know you have 3 days. If you decide to back out or return it you can technically speaking I believe.

    Dude send me the contract. You can blank out your name or address or whatever. I will go through it line by line for you and see exactly how much they took advantage. Im sure a few others will do that too. I'll call them and tell them i just bought a tundra, and im incredibly dissappointed they would allow a dealership of theirs to take advantage of new tundra owners like that. I HATE that kinda stuff. Makes my blood boil.

    They should have given at least half back to you in the deal. They mark things up like that to show you a bigger discount.

    Yea, you got porked. But, don’t feel bad. Before I knew anything about lifts (most of my knowledge has come from this site) I would look at the sweet trucks that were lifted at the dealership and would think how nice it would be to just have a truck that was ready to go. I had no idea about spacers etc. I could have easily been in your position and clueless to the fact my lift was only worth a few hundred bucks.
    I would honestly push to have them buy it back. If that is not an option then continue to take it back and document the issue every time until you legally can push the matter.
    Good luck. I’ll be hoping it goes your way.

    We had a similar problem with a Honda Pilot. Could very easily be the tires. Sometimes the steel belts do stupid stuff and create very noticeable pull. Replacement is the only option, But to rule it out the tires try swapping them front back if still there try side to side. then you'll know for sure if it's the truck

    How did you make out with your lemon, my 2018 Tundra is a lemon vibration issues and has nothing to do with the tires,rims and balancing of them, toyota won't pay the dealers to diagnose the issue and dealers won't invest the time knowing they may never find the issue and not get paid, i'm taking them to arbitration now, the truck eats tires, the vibration gets worse with mileage it's not getting better on it's own toyota, what i've found out is Toyota has more issues with their vehicles than people think and to date they haven't honored the warranty on this lemon, so when Wasitworthit say's his truck is a lemon believe it, mine is to, it's been in 8 times for repair with nothing done to fix it.The truck is completely stock! The 2022 Tundra will have so many issues the current Tundra has been around for years and they can't even mitigate the issues with that dinosaur.

    Interesting first post. Did you test drive the truck before you bought it? Have you taken it to an alignment shop or literally anyone besides the same toyota dealership?

    Hi OP, I am just curious. Does it pull hard right? Or is it a slight drift to the right over a distance?

    My truck has been to 3 different Toyota dealers and is actually at a independent repair shop now and going next week to a specialty shop that does does custom work, lifts etc they like the challenge of finding out the culprit. Toyota has dropped the ball, customer service is a joke too, they've no authority at the 800 number, too much time and energy and money on this lemon , I'm now paying out of pocket to try and diagnose this issue even though it's been there since day one. I test drove it for a few miles and didn't get on the highway, truck had 250 miles on to when I got it! Toyota doesn't get it, there's alot of people waiting and watching for the outcome most are turned off by their lack of honoring the warranty to date. Regional Tech was a puppet for toyota and a liar too!

    Yea whatever. I love when some angry owner comes on here spewing his side of the story and due to his frustration let’s everyone know the Tundra is secretly a POS. Take a breath, calm down and limit the verbal diarrhea.

    Need some background on your truck. Lift? Tires? I’m assuming it’s lifted if it’s going to a “specialty” shop, who did the lift? If you’ve been taking it to the dealer for the same reason 8 times, you could’ve and should’ve been able to get your money back by now.

    Toyota takes a while with these cases. Mine took about a year for them to finally buy it back. They wanted to resell it so they bought it back before it was labeled a lemon.

    My Truck is stock, the specialty shop wants the challenge of finding the issue, there's no reason this truck hasn't been fixed or taken back other than toyota is about the dollar not my satisfaction or honoring their warranty.

    Stock as in factory OEM everything? Or stock as in it has a crappy lift that was installed by the dealer prior to purchase?

    My side of the story dude are you retarded, I wouldn't be talking about this POS if they had fixed the truck, they chose to do the opposite, he's making his payments on a truck with major issue's, let's do nothing maybe he'll just get tired of the BS! I knew when I posted here there would be people like you with no common sense. Where are you dude I'll let you drive the POS so you STFU!
