Consumer Description

ABUNDANT FRAME RUST ON 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH 53,000 MILES. VEHICLE DRIVEN IN NORMAL CONDITIONS; UNDERSIDE SPRAY-WASHED REGULARLY ALL WINTER LONG. THE AMOUNT OF FRAME RUST IS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER SIMILAR TACOMAS I'VE SEEN, BUT MUCH GREATER THAN ON OTHER MAKE AND MODEL TRUCKS OF THE SAME AGE OR OLDER, EVEN MUCH OLDER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE RATE OF RUST DEVELOPMENT ON THESE TACOMAS COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO FRAME FAILURE, PUTTING OCCUPANTS AND OTHERS AT SAFETY RISK. *TR
