SUSPENSION
MY 2012 TOYOTA TACOMA TRD OFF-ROAD DOES NOT MEET MAXIMUM PAYLOAD CAPACITY. VEHICLE STARTS TO BOTTOM OUT AT 30% OF IT'S MAXIMUM CAPACITY EITHER WHEN TOWING OR CARRYING CARGO. RIDE ON THE VEHICLE IS VERY HARSH WHEN LOADED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS 2005-2011 WHEN THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A HARSH RIDE WHEN LOADED WITH ANY CARGO IN THE BACK (I.E. TSB# SU006-07). THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND SEVERAL DOZEN REPORTS BEING ADDRESSED TO TOYOTA AND THE CURRENT SERVICE BULLETIN HAS NOT BEEN APPLIED TO THIS YEAR MODEL. *TR
