I'm sure most of you who drive one know about the frame issues on the Tacoma's, but in case you didn't, I just had my frame inspected today at my local Toyota dealership and the frame failed the inspection. They found a few places where the rust had worked it's way through the frame rail. I found a couple myself using the old screwdriver method.
Because it's a 2001 and Toyota still makes replacement frames, they are replacing the frame with a new one (and leaf springs, brake lines, cables, etc) at their cost and giving me a rental in the mean time. If your truck is a 2000 model or older, it's my understanding that Toyota will buy the truck from you, assuming the frame fails, for some amount over the market valve. |
