Be Careful!

My '99 Tacoma was going strong (250k miles) until I found multiple frame rust perforations (pushed my thumb right through easily...). Really hurt because I have always bought Toyota and this was my second pickup from them.

My truck was bought back from me by Toyota for 1 1/2 times the KBB value ($12,900) in a widespread under-the-radar "recall" program. Turned out a frame manufacturer out of Detroit was at fault-inadequate rust protection the issue.

Apparently some Titans were also recalled in this program.

Thought Toyota did the right thing, though I have since bought a Ford Ranger and have been very pleased with that.

There were others on this board with the same Tacoma frame issue. Do a thread search.
