Apparently the rust didn't want to stop at the Tacomas .

We can’t just warranty the frame.
Makes ya just wanna slap the crap out of the folks at Toyota. The next person that wants to talk good about Toyota quality should be shot. Yeah, at one time they made possibly the best cars and trucks on the road. But that was decades ago. My brother usually buys Tacomas. He's had 3- 3.0 engines replaced because of cam failures. Didn't read about the campaign on those though did you? Google Toyota sludge monster and see how many hits you come up with. If you want to read them all, pack a few days groceries. You can expect to see frame failures with the new Tundra as well. They are already seeing fatigued frames at the center section and have quietly been replacing frames on truck less than 2 years old. You also haven't heard about the last generation Tundra that is prone to roll overs either but you certainly heard about the Explorer. I'd rather walk than ride in a Toyota...ask my brother.
