2006 Toyota Tacoma 4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed

236-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range

84320 mi After having my truck into the Toyota dealership for frame inspection and them cleaning it inspecting it and applying rust prevention coating and telling me it was fine. One year later two major holes in the frame one on either side. Going right to the top at Toyota Canada, they refused to repair my truck, because the truck was purchased in the USA and brought to Canada. That was Canada's excuse. Toyota USA said the truck was now in Canada and they would not fix. After being a loyal Toyota customer for over 36 years, I tell them goodbye. Never heard of a truck having a Nationality Problem when trying to get it fixed. Always thought a Toyota was just a Toyota. But I guess not. If a Tacoma frame hasn't already been fixed....avoid it like the plague.

Truck was recalled for replacement of entire frame and rear springs due to corrosion and cracks. It now drives like a new truck and I am very happy with Toyota. I had to pay nothing for this repair which cost approximately $11,600.00.

US $700
Frame replacement for class action law suit. The undercoating toyota applied made surface rust into real rust but I got a new frame out of it. I paid extra to have them install new shocks/struts (parts only) and had preventive transmission/differential/transfer case fluids done. Included new brake lines, fuel lines, LCA's, ball joints etc. Super happy with this and I now see the truck lasting as long as I do. If you get a Tacoma look for one that has had it done. 
136000 mi Had been waiting for a new frame to come in anyways. Toyota replaced entire frame and leaf springs.
