600 miles on my 4th gen and have only found 1 complaint.

[Gfenza89]

So after owning my 4th gen for 600 miles and 1 1/2 months my only “issue” or complaint would be occasionally when driving slow in a parking lot I get this strange slight vibration or shudder in the truck usually when slowing to a stop. No idea what causes it but it’s happened a few times. Other than that I have no complaints and really do enjoy this 4th gen.

Is it a hybrid max?

No

If you can reproduce that reliably, I'd take it in now. Mine doesn't do that

I think there have been reports that this is one of the early symptoms of the trans failure. Any hard shifting?

Only first shift in the morning sometimes that’s it

I can’t honestly it’s so random trans good

Don't worry about that transmission... I'm sure it's fine... I get paranoid anytime I get a weird shift... Anyway... I've noticed the A/C compressor can shake the truck a little and you'll feel that at slow speeds and also the fan kicks on all the time randomly and maybe that can cause some vibration....

Yeah mine does that too lol not really that annoying though

@Gfenza89 I think that when you can reproduce that you should take it to the dealer. Having read many owner's reports of early symptoms of Taco transmission failures, this could be one. I do know that some people say that their transmissions work perfectly and I think if they all should, with no clunky shifting at all - like all the Toyota automatics I have ever owned..

Good and keep us in the loop!

Yeah not sure hopefully not but I wouldn’t be suprised I’ll prob just ride it out until the first service see what happens

My TRD off-road does not do that, but I would roll with it and report it at 5k checkup if it’s still doing it.

I agree - not worth a trip to the dealer at this point. You just have to hope that you can reproduce it with a tech along, or they probably still won't want to do anything.

So just keep loving your truck and I have seen some people say that their transmissions smoothed out considerably with some miles. Let's hope that is the case for your truck.

Exactly that’s what I’m going to do, who knows could just be a break in thing or go away, my trans shifts good so far. If it’s still doing it at 5k miles I’ll mention it to the dealer.

My truck did that when it was new, i am at 3,000 miles now. I think it was the engine vibration from being in a higher gear going through the parking lot at low speeds. Another 2WD SR5 i drove did it as well. Ever since I put larger tires on I havent had it happen at all. Sometimes in the morning I get a weird shift only right after i leave my driveway and its only once. I think its due to the adaptive shifting strategy, I feel like my truck is fully broken in and it pulls really smooth with good power now. Before it felt like the powerband was kind of lumpy.
