Ive been dealing with a vibration at specific speeds that is quite annoying, At first, it occurred at 40-50mph. I brought it in to dealer, and they told me they test drove another new TRD OR and this was normal. BS. I went to GM and he helped me get service to test forced road balance. They did this, but problem did not go away. I went back with the truck and service told me they couldn’t do anything else without sanction from corporate, and I should open a case via hotline, which I did. After a significant wait, I finally got A call the regional tech service manager was coming to dealer. In the meantime, I read I should rotate spare tire around different positions, and when I moved it to the FR, the vibration improved. I met the Tech and Service manager, and i informed them about the tire rotation results. The Toyota regional Tech person assured me they would get to the bottom of the problem. I got a call the next day the truck was ready, and they replaced FR tire. The service report indicated they confirmed the problem and how space swap helped isolate the problem, but they did not appear to road test With new tire. Now the same/worse vibration happens at 68-78 mph. Argh. Very frustrating. Im going to call on Monday to get back in but Im loosing confidence in the service dept of this dealer. Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated. A $53+ vehicle should not have this problem. Currently 1300 mi on truck.

I've seen a few of these same threads and it always comes back to a bad tire that needs replaced. Or if you have the roof rack like above. It's not normal to have it. That's your dealer being lazy/incompetent.

Ok. After following the rotate the spare tire and going back and forth with dealer service, issue appears to have been solved. A new tire on front right of truck appears to have been defective. But it took me pointing this out and insisting they try a tire. My guess is Goodrich had a bad run of tires that need sorting out
