I was experiencing this and the first shop I took it to argued it was balancing but after rotating and balancing it did not improve. I searched in here and could not find the answer. I suspected it was my passenger CV as it had been replaced 3 years ago by the mechanic who lifted the truck after accidentally ruining the original. They did not use a Toyota part.

After much research, I was convinced it was inner CV joint failure (thanks to YouTube) so I took a chance and bought an OEM CV and got it installed.

The shake is gone. I hope this helps someone in the future.

I was wrong HELP Steering Wheel wobble/shaking only on hard acceleration from stop or slow speeds (video) - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/help-steering-wheel-wobble-shaking-only-on-hard-acceleration-from-stop-or-slow-speeds-video.1363545/

Are you lifted at all? If you're lifted it is likely adding to the issue with incorrect caster angle, and increased CV angle.
