Is anyone seeing rusting frames on the 3rd Gen?
Im thinking of purchasing the 3rd gen Tacoma but im scared of the rusting frames of the past

There's a five year warranty on the frame. The rusty frames were made by Dana Corp in the U.S. It is still costing Toyota a bundle. I'm fairly confident the problem has been corrected. I'm getting ready to get a '16 tomorrow. There are only about 6 4x4 Tacomas on most dealers lots at this point.

The salesman told me the frames are still made in the us. Its got me worried that they just kept the same manufacturer and problems
|
I'm trading a 2000 Tacoma that was undercoated. The frame broke at the right rear shock and near the gas tank. The truck was otherwise perfect. I'll be OCD about climbing under this one and checking. There used to be franchises such as Zeibert that under coated cars. The closest one to me is about 90 miles away. Rust is not really a thing in Virginia.

im in virginia too but we do sometimes get harsh winters that kinda scare me about rust

There's a class action lawsuit filed for this rusting issue. Not sure if it applies to this model year vehicle but you should be able to find more info online.
