    I have a 2023 4 RUNNER TRD Sport, and the wiper motor is noisy. I previously had a 2016 TRD Premium, and I didn't have this issue. In researching the Tacoma forum, it appears to be a very common annoyance. Not seeing anything on the 4Runner forum.

    Anyone else have issues ? Is there an aftermarket upgrade ?

    There are two chineseium aftermarket wiper motor choices listed on Rock Auto if you want to roll the dice!

    The Rock Auto interchange list shows the same wiper motor used on the Lexus IS, GX460, and LX570. I'm sure those Lexus prudes would complain if the wiper motor is loud. I suspect you just got a dud. Try going the warranty route.
