Well gotta give Toyota a thumbs up. I took my 02 Tacoma in during the original recall. Dealer said it passed and coated the frame. Just this past fall the truck failed inspection due to holes in the frame.
Took it to dealer after calling corporate , they took pics and was given a full new frame swap.
So now I basically have a new Tacoma with only 120,000 miles on her.

I'd have been more impressed if Toyota had simply built the entire frame out of box section as they did with Hi Lux of that era.

Probably a lot less than it would have cost them in sales if they HADN'T done it.

I would love to see another manufacturer make good on a 15 year old vehicle.

If your Tundra has marble sized holes that you can see, I can only imagine what it has that you CAN'T see.

My 1995 Tacoma with 135000 miles was bought by Toyota for almost $10,000 in 2008. It was the frame rusting problem program that a guy in the Lowes parking lot told me about. He said go see your dealer and be blown away by what they are going to give you. I do believe there was a cutoff date on the deal. And I was never notified directly by Toyota.

I was glad for the new springs as I had overloaded the old ones a few times and they were showing their age.


So put another chassis under it.


These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Pretty funny. If it's a Toyota or a Ford that's a pile of $hit, well that's ok. A GM and you guys jump all over it. Laffin. mtmuley

Had a '06 Toyota Tacoma and got rammed from behind, not huge shock but lifted slightly one side. Inspection result from insurance, car is total! fixing the frame would be too expensive.

Every truck has its ups and downs and tradeoffs are aplenty.

The previous owner of what is now my '02 Tacoma (with 72xxx miles, not that it really matters) didn't ever take it to a dealer for the whole frame recall thing, which means that by the time I bought it, Toyota was no longer making good on their offer for buyback or replacement. I took matters into my own hands and replaced the frame myself. I found a healthy frame from Tacoma that had been in a rollover accident, and switched 'em out (scrapped the old frame). It was an enormous project and I wouldn't try it without a lot of extra manpower; an automotive lift sure came in handy too. It works though and it's rewarding to have it all in one piece now.

I heard this week that there is (or forthcoming) a Tundra frame recall for corrosion.
