    Hi all, picked up used 2020 4x4 Crew Cab w offroad package last week. First time post. I noticed this exact same lean in the bed. It looks like the answers on this topic range from cosmetic to suspension to frame issue with new truck as the solution. I have come across other tundras with this same twist and some without. Some with the cab lean and some without. I am taking it in to have this looked at today.

    Has anyone resolved this with either just accepting it or getting a new truck? Perhaps with a shim under the bed or adjusted suspension? It's otherwise beautiful but I am within my return window through Friday and if this ends up being a frame issue, I'm going to have to pass it back and start over on the truck hunt.

    I tried to attach pics

    As you said, you have 3 days. You noticing it now, means you’ll notice it again. I’d swap it for a different truck.

    Heres the thing, when I noticed it on my truck I made a conscious effort to pay attention other tundras I see around town and 95% of Tundras I saw had the same lean. I think its a Tundra thing and to be honest I am not going to go toe to toe with Toyota to fix it or replace my truck. It has no performance effects at all.

    I'd pay the dealer or maybe an indy shop to do a normal pre-purchase inspection for peace of mind.

    Thanks all. I found the same lean on several other tundras, some more than others but did find some completely straight. The 2020 I had just seemed to be a lot more exaggerated with nearly an inch+ diff from bumper to ground. Ended up swapping it out due to a few other things and ended up going with a 2021 platinum. very happy with the new one. Thanks for weighing in here guys!

    WOW to have to go through that is just nuts. When a person spend that much money one would think that things would be in order, I mean you would like to get something that is semi worth the amount of money one would spend?!. Hope it all w we irks out for y’all.
