Description of the problem	I am the original owner of the 2003 toyota 4runner ltd. I always seen rust on the frame since i purchased the truck and had it serviced at a toyota dealership. They never told me the rust was bad or had through holes in the frame because they never looked. Recently i decided to request the dealership to look specifically at the frame for holes. They found may holes near the gas tank crossmembers and passenger side under bumper and driver side bumper. There are no campaigns or programs to cover under warranty for corrosion issues. However we know that toyota had a recall for 110,000 tundras and are performing undercoating for tacomas. (my brother is having this done on his 2006) i tow a boat with my 4runner and i am not sure if it is safe to tow anymore. I feel toyota is responsible for the frame rusting so bad and should fix the rusted parts like they did for the tundras or tacomas.
