Toyota can't build frames for their trucks. Mine is rotted. Toyota plans to spray it with a rust inhibitor. They have recalled every 2006 and older tacoma for this issue and won't recall the 2007's. I now own a pile of junk and toyota won't do what's right even though they clearly know there's an issue.

An inspection of my frame has not been performed because iowa is not included in the "cold weather state" list in the service bulletin. I am guessing they have never been here in winter. Is it where the vehicle was sold, vin number, or did toyota just limit the states it would cover. My issue is if my truck has a…
