Description of the problem	Bed bolts began rusting soon after i purchased the truck. I complained to the dealer but they said it was nothing. Waited a year and it got worse, rusting the bed, so i brought it to dealer #2 who said there was nothing they could do - no recall or tsbs. My frame was replaced 2 years ago at original dealer and i asked about the bed again but was told no warranty, recall or tsb. I just learned that there is a tsb on the bolts and corrosion of the bed. Other than a rusted out bed, my truck looks and runs great but i'm afraid that my bed it going to fall off every time i hit a bump. I feel like i was misled - lied to - by both dealerships. Toyota should have corrected this issue 10 years ago. I am not in the position to have repairs done or purchase a new truck. Toyota should be looked into for not making the corrections as soon as the issue was discovered. The design is flawed as the bed is double walled with some sort of insulation between the layers. As it rusts from underneath, water enters between the walls and the insulation holds the moisture. By the time the rust begins to show on top the bottom is so far gone. I really do not want to scrap a vehicle because of toyota's neglect.
