| Description of the problem | I have very bad rust in the bed of my 07 dc. I bought the truck new. The rust was obscured by the toyota bed liner until i saw other owners posting and checked it out. I keep my truck in immaculate condition and it only has 57,000 miles. The rust is coming from underneath and is focused around the bolts that hold the bed to the frame. I am afraid that the bed will fall off of the truck! I am trying to bring awareness to this defect before it causes an accident. A call to the dealer and every post that i see says that toyota will not help. This is not an isolated issue and toyota should take responsibility for the poor workmanship and replace the defective parts before there are accidents. My frame is also rusted. Toyota dealer sprayed a solution on the frame but it is still rusting and is affecting this bed rust as well. |
