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. |
