I took it to a garage and told them and one of the techs drove it around and nothing happened.
Can you make it happen routinely on the streets around that shop? If you can go back, get the service advisor or a tech in the passenger seat and make it happen. It is the best way to communicate intermittent problems.
Generally, the first place to look is tire balance/damage but that is rarely intermittent, other than only being noticeable at certain speeds.

This is my 19 4R TRD Off Road
Your issue is extremely common to 4R's due to our body on frame constuction and there is a 99% chance the fix will cost a big fat 0.00 but...
I have questions before I can advise.
2wd or 4wd?
Lifted or standard suspension?
Brand and size of your tires?
Who does your tire rotation & balancing?

You have Parkinson’s

Another possibility is that a wheel sensor has gone wonky and is giving bad information to the ABS. The car might think you’re slipping and automatically activating the antilock brake on that side.

Belt separation in a tire
Posted on 6/18/26 at 8:00 pm to grsharky
Probably tie rods. I would turn the wheel and look at them and grab them and give them a shake. Had a 4runner and same happened to me. Don't buy Chinese shite like moog. Either use Toyota or Sakei555 which I think are the OEM.

4wd, standard suspension and tires. A reputable local shop does the work usually.

Tire out of balance / out of spec on psi / or bad tire.
Would jack up loosen lug nuts and remount the wheel and retorque the wheel evenly to proper spec.
Then might look at suspension / alignment.

I would say you have more than one wheel out of balance. Each wheel vibrates when going at a different speed.
You can tell which wheel it is by where you feel the shaking. Steering wheel shaking means it is on the front end and if it is on the back end, you feel it on your arse!

Ok, no problem.
Our vehicles require a "Road Force" balance. Preferably with a Hunter branded road force balancer. The regular old school tire balancers will not work.
Good news..Discount Tire will give you a Road Force balance free off charge along with a tire rotation anytime you need one. You don't need to have purchased tires from them but they hope you will in the future. They will also match any tire deal you can find on the interwebs.
Just let them know how important it is for 4R's due to our frame construction to have a "Perfect" road force balance and they will put their best guy on the job.
You didn't mention the brand tires you're running. With a 4x4 4R it's very importatnt to stick with quality tires due to our balancing issues. I've alway run Nitto Ridge Grapplers or Toyo Open Country A/T or R/T with no balancing issues. Some popular brands, BFGoodrich KO2's, are notoriously difficult to balance.
Lastly, with larger tires if your 4R sits for 36 hours or more the tire will develope a "temporary" flat spot and when you get up on the highway you will feel a little 5- 8 minute vibration but it will always go away. If not, it's time to head to Discount Tire.
Edit: If you don't have a Discount Tire near you simply go to the Hunter Equipment website and there will be a link to locate shops near you that have a Hunter Road Force Balancer albeit they won't be free like Discount Tire.

Classic death wobble.

If tire balance is good next check should be Wrapped Brake Rotors

They checked the tires and wheels and they looked fine.
Go to a competent female mechanic and insist that you want a rim job.
Report back, thanks.
That is all.

Something is probably slightly bent or warped, connected with the wheels.
Posted on 6/18/26 at 9:41 pm to grsharky
It's the drive shaft.

Hang some truck nuts from the trailer hitch for better balance

Could be a tread starting to separate in the one of the front tires.
Move back tires to front.
If the vibration moves from the wheel to the seat, replace back tires.
