Toyota tax yada yada, from a dealer so slightly less sketchy than some Craigslist rando, but at the very top of my budget with a lot of miles. VIN: 5TEUX42N45Z004573

Unlike every other rust bucket truck manufacturer, Toyota went out of their way to fix the problems with their rusty frames. A Tacoma/Tundra truck that had a hole of more than 10mm in diameter qualified for a brand new frame
Just because they changed the frame doesn't mean the frame was rotted to the ground, or that the owner wasn't an idiot who didn't know how to properly maintain it

how much does toyota pay you?
>>16754674
yea
>>16755147
not wanting a fold-up and easily stow-able truck
>>16755166
not wanting Toyota's anti rust preventative technology

You again?
A large number of Toyotas less than 10 years old developed gaping holes due to corrosion that compromised the structural integrity of the vehicle.
There is no other " rust bucket truck manufacturer" that had anything comparible unless it worked in a salt mine for all its life.
My neighbor took his Taco in for inspection and was told it "didn't meet the criteria" for frame replacement. Less than 2 years later, same dealership determined vehicle was "unsafe to drive" due to frame rot. He has a Colorado now.
