    2024 Black Tundra SR5 XP package
    TRD Lift with Nitto 35's
    Hello everyone, this is my first post as I am new to the site. Purchased a 2024 SR5 Tundra with the XP Package in my home state of FL back in June of 2024, only 4500 miles on it so far. Since then I have added the TRD suspension lift and put Nitto 35's on the stock TRD 20 inch wheels. I will admit I drove a Ford for the last 22 years and this is my first Toyota. I love the truck but I have had some issues with it. Nothing major, but wondering if anyone else out there has experienced the same issues.
    Window trim around all 4 windows came lose, was repaired and became lose again. Breaks make an awful squeal when backing out of my driveway and the drivers sideview mirror whistles/hisses when I get over 60 MPH. Here are some pics of my new rig before and after. I'd also like to switch out the grille and get red calipers, if anyone has done this already I'd love to get your feedback. Look forward to reading your posts and sharing some of my own.

    Love the truck and the lift + tire upgrade! Don’t have whistling on mine (2024) but I’ll listen for it. Brakes don’t squeal but I have to really give lots of space to stop the thing. You get a bed cover?

    @Bucng8r Thank you, yes I went with BAK Industries MX4 Tonneau Cover it comes with a 5 year warranty. Very pleased with it so far. Only issue now is that I wish I had lights in the truck bed.

    Brought the truck in this morning to my local dealership, they are replacing the breaks and window trim. They put me in a 2024 Capstone (very nice) as a loaner. Still unsure what will happen with the sideview mirror. They claim its a known issue, but they cant do anything about it until Toyota issues a service bulletin. Lord only knows when that will be. For now I am just pleased to get the breaks replaced. Was embarrassing backing out of my driveway and parking spaces in a brand new truck making such an awful sound. Wasn't a good look for Toyota either and as we all know they don't need any more bad publicity.
