    I have a 2020 Tundra that I bought new. At roughly 15000 miles i noticed a humming noise coming from the front.. ( sounded like a wheel bearing going bad) I went to the dealer and they checked the bearings and reported that they were all good, and the noise was a bad tire. So, I have kept driving it.. had the noise checked by another Toyota dealer. The put it up on the hoist, checked the bearings ( which they said were all good) the humming noise went away for a little while, after they had it up on the hoist, then came back. I had new tires put on, the noise was still there, but seems to disappear for a few miles.. then come back. Then I discovered that if you engage the 4 wheel drive.. the noise disappears, but when you take it out of 4 wheel drive the noise comes back. Went back to the dealer again ( because now I'm at 57000 miles..) and complained. I took the service manager out for a drive and let him see what was going on.... and they have no idea what the problem is. They want to call a field service rep?? WTH! Anybody have any ideas? Please and Thanks!

    I haven't been around here very long, but that sounds similar to this issue. Seems strange with such low miles on the truck
