    Hi
    I just bought a 2021 trd pro sequoia with 37k and was wondering if this is normal for this truck. Under load between 1800 and 2200 rpm I can feel the gas pedal buzz. Not sure if this is normal for this truck. This is my first v8 truck I haves owned.

    I also noticed when driving on uneven surfaces I can hear a creaking noise coming from the front of the truck. I don’t know if anyone else has a Trd pro that can confirm that this is normal as well. I know that tundras trd pro had an issue where the trd skid plate that would rub on frame causing this noise.
    Thank you

    I have the trd pro skid plate on my ‘12 . It pops and makes weird noises on uneven surfaces as well . Some people have tried to address this by putting rubber on the rub areas…..

    Welcome to the forum.
    You can eliminate the creaking noise by putting something between the skid plate and the frame.
    I first put a piece of an old rubber floor mat, but when I installed my cat shields I put some thick nylon washers on the bolts between the plate and frame.
    No more creaking..

    If you end up needing to take it off, talon sells a nut plate that makes installation easier.
    It has the nuts welded to plate so you don't have to beat your knuckles up putting the top nuts on.
