    Rear · Suspension

    When my 2009 tacoma reached about 18,500 miles the rear spring started to squeak. You can hear it even getting in & out of the vehicle. If you put much weight in the back it will squat & lift the front end up. It even does poorly pulling an empty trailer. This is my 10th + toyota & i am very disappointed that this type of problem pops up & toyota won't do anything about it. I may just by a gmc next time. *tr

    I have a 2009 toytoa tacoma with 26,000 miles, and the leaf suspension is failing. There are audible groans and creaks just getting in and out of the car, or if i put in loads as light as 50 pounds. Further, the ride has become worse over bumps. Toyota has issued tsbs for this issue in earlier models, but they have not addressed the problem, and there isn't a tsb for 2009. *tr

    The truck bottoms out at about half the payload capacity of 1,295 pounds. A 652lb atv caused the truck to bottom out. There is a tsb out for 2005-2008 models and toyota claims it has remedied the problem but the same exact parts are still in use on the 2009 models. *tr
