| Description of the problem | Just purchased as a used truck, the body is in real good shape but the frame is rusted. Called toyota to be told that there was a limited service campaign to undercoat the frame but that campaign has ended. I tried to remove the hitch from the receiver a couple days after i took delivery of the truck, it would not come out. I crawled under the truck to see if it had been welded up or something to keep it from coming out, no weld just rust. I didn't notice the rust as it is under the back side of the frame at the receiver. The rest of the frame looks as if the undercoating is holding without additional rust. I hope that toyota will do right by this at some point. |
