| Aug 201326900 mi | The center cap of one of the wheels inadvertently came off. This was not related to an accident or off-roading. It may have even not been replaced during a recent oil maintenance. The dealership replaced for free. | ||
| Oct 201759000 mi | One of the center caps on the wheel broke and needs replacement. I've found that these aren't easy, or consistently, re-installed by the non-dealer shops I take the truck to for tire service, alignments, etc. Sometimes they look like they're mostly in place, but not quite 100 percent seated. Other times, trying to seat the cap will break one/some of the attachment tabs...2nd occurrence over the almost 8 yrs of ownership isn't horrible, but annoying. Tail-gate lever and key is problematic. It is difficult to pull the lever to open the tailgate and the lock has been difficult to get the key into. I took the inside panel off the tailgate and lubricated everything with a silicone lubricant which helped in the short term, but it's been getting more difficult again after a couple months of regular use. One of the TRD off-road stickers has been showing signs of aging over the past year. Showing to the point of the sticker is showing visible partitions within the border of the sticker like it's starting to come apart. | ||
