OK, this is my second vehicle and I don't drive it very much, I use it for my photography and I was really looking forward to the 4x4 so I can get to places my other 1998 Toyota Tacoma can't get to.
The first time I went out to a dirt road it felt like the front wheels were going to fall off. So when I got to end of road which is 9 miles long I took the tire wrench and to me it felt like ALL the lug nuts were loose I turned them about 1/2 turn and it seemed fine but now I am on a paved road, Time went by and I just took it up Old Coast Road in Big Sur, Ca again, now this is just a dirt road no big boulders, just ruts and small rocks. People live on this road and drive their cars to get to their house`s. So once again I can feel the loose suspension in the steering wheel as well as feel the wheels like they are just going to fall off.
I think the people at Victory Toyota think I am crazy and don't believe me. I have been there twice for this problem and they drive it on a flat dirt road where the suspension can't even come close to what it does out on the Old Coast Road so nothing gets done. Even the Tech told me that they really don't build 4x4s to take off road, I looked under the truck to see if I can see anything and I was surprised to see that there is a bottom out bumper and it is 1 inch to 1/12 inch away from the plate, I thought this was not right so I went to the Toyota dealership and climbed under one of the brand new trucks and it was the same?? He also told me that if you take a new Tacoma 2 wheel drive and put two guys in the back that it would bottom out the suspension. Umm, excuse me Toyota, I just spent 30,000 thousand dollars for a four wheel drive truck that " I " have to put a lift kit in to drive it off road ?? << So they tell me that they are going to call Toyota on Monday July 14 2014 and call me with what Toyota has to say about it and what they are going to do to resolve this problem, I will bet you my life I will not get a call and I will have to call them,, any takers???
Also, I did go there last weekend and talked to Bret and told him what was going on and he told me that if it is happening on the dirt it will happen on the road, and I told him no and he said yes, and I said NO. So I got into a argument with him, so we will see what happens and I will let you know and whomever bet, I will let you know if you get my life. Oh ya, right now Toyota, you suck.
