Vibrating gas pedal and general rough ride

[IceCap__Tacos]

Hey guys, I am at my wits end with my 24 SR5 w/5k miles. The gas pedal vibrates and the steering wheel shakes slightly almost all of the time. The vibration in the pedal is most noticeable when you’re trying to maintain a constant speed, right after you let up on the acceleration to maintain speed, there is a very noticeable shudder and vibration. The dealer has replaced a stock Firestone tire that they claimed had a busted radial, which improved the ride slightly but hasn’t fixed the issue. I’ve had the tires road force tested, balanced, and the alignment done. Now they’re giving up and telling me it’s normal for tacomas to have a rough ride. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Does anyone else think their Tacoma drives rough?

Find another dealer. It's not normal.

All ICE vehicles will have slight vibrations in their drivetrain. However, there is nothing out of the ordinary with mine. Either your tolerance for this is very low, or your truck needs another dealer

No vibration on mine, maybe it’s the shoes you are wearing when driving.. Doesn’t make a lot of sense feeling a vibration in the gas pedal… it’s drive by wire.

The service manager drove it and initially agreed with me that something was wrong, but after they couldn’t figure it out he said it was normal. The tires are wearing unevenly on the outside edge as well.
