2020 Crewmax 4x4, Bead Creaking

So for the past few weeks I've been trying to figure out why my bead is creaking. It only happens when I turn and the elevation changes on that turn....I've tightened/checked every single freaking bolt under the truck...any ideas? It's definitely a creak.....

 

Do you have the TRD Aliminum Skid Plate. They are famous for creaking and making you feel like your suspension is F’D up

 

Maybe it is not the bed. Bed bolts should be easy to check and tighten. check your spare tire as well as the skid plates if you have them.

 

No skid plates, this truck sees gravel roads, nothing more (We use the wife's jeep for anything else). Didn't think about the spare!

 

I thought my bed was creaking but it was the leaf springs. I washed them off and sprayed some dry lube on them and it went away. With driving gravel roads, you probably have a lot of dust on yours.

 

I second the leaf springs. Clean em, spray em and check the bushings. Mine squeak from the bushings occasionally so I use some silicone spray to quiet them down.

 

Do you have a bed cover? My Fastop tonneau creaks when the bed flexes. Took me a while to figure that one out, now I just ignore it.

 

Problem solved!

 

I had a squeak and it was the tailgate latches. Lubed them up, and no more squeak.

 

+1 to this, some spray lube on these latches as well as the leaf springs will pretty much kill any rear focused noise.
