Any frame issues with the old truck? Just curious.. I've been reading both good and bad stories about rusty frames in the late 90's to early 00's trucks.
The program is a little confusing and nobody understands all of it, but if (when) the frame failed (hammer knocks a good dent or hole), Toyota would either buyback the truck at 1.5x KBB or replace the frame, depending on the year. Some folks had to jump through hoops, and the process went smoothly for others. As the original owner of a 2002, I got the undercoating in 2010, and that extends frame warranty to 15 years. I need my frame to fail before 2017!
I've been reading both good and bad stories from around the web on the frame replacements. It seems Toyota is trying to bring the frame replacement campaign to an end leaving some folks out of luck and with a bad frame. I think some of it is from people not getting the undercoating in the specified time period. I've owned 4 Toyota trucks from '87 to '94, and I probably wouldn't get a late 90's to early 00's model unless I knew the frame had been replaced.
NIce Truck hoss! a Tundra?
We had been looking at trading the little car in on a sedan but lately my wife is warming up to the idea of a pickup... Loaded full size is a bit out of budget and beyond our needs but im thinking a nice economical Tacoma might be worth a look.
