    All - just seeking some help or photos from you all. I’m not the typical person that will buy something new and then complain about every little thing; however, just the other day on my 2020 MGM Pro l, I noticed the upper grille seemed to be warping a little in the center below the plastic insert not where it meets the hood. It was in the center and I pressed it down and it seemed to click back in but the plastic is still a little wavy in the center. Not a big deal and hard to see in pics below but it was raised and had to be pressed back into position. Then from drivers viewpoint, it appears the dashboard had a little warpage in the middle more towards the passenger side. Not sure if it’s normal or if I have an issue. I’m going to go to dealer but can’t stand dealing with them.

    Can others tell me if you see the same thing on your 2020s and if you could post pics I would appreciate it.

    Thanks

    I've got the same warp in my dash board on my 2019 , I'm not concerned about it or see it as a real problem but would be interested to know how common this is ....

    hahaha, that makes me feel much better that others aren’t too worried. I agree it’s not hiring anything.

    I've had my 14 almost a year now. Love it except one thing........the hood bulge concept. I think it sucks. Am I the only one? Quite flimsy to say the least. A poor design. My dash has no warpage though. I also prefer the rear bumper style a lot better that was on my 07 as far as the sides. I think the 14 and up rear bumper flat out looks goofy. 1st world problems..heh

    Same warp in the dash . My 2010 had it worse . I used packing foam back then to tuck it up underneath to support and raise it up .

    Hi
    I have the same issue with the dash. Couple days ago I was at the dealer for oil change and asked about the dash they looked at it and confirm it was not right, took some pictures and will submit clam to Toyota. On there lot there were 4 new tundras and service manager got the keys so we can go and take look if they have the same issue. 3 out of 4 were curved at the passenger side by the windshield went. I will definitely keep you guys updated with the clam from the dealer.

    My dash looks the same. It's a 2019 that I've had since June of 2019 and there hasn't been any change, so I haven't worried. I'll likely mention it before my bumper to bumper warranty is up just to see, but it's certainly not the end of the world to me.
