OEM Tow hitch area

Does anyone else have rust on the harness plug area that's to the left of the tow hitch? It's really annoying and looks bad like that. Ughhh I hate rust. I'll post pic up tomorrow.

 

I was stationed in Germany for the past 3 years. Got my 2007 Taco while there. Within a year and after the first winter there, I had more rust that I could imagine. Very common now with these trucks.

Tacoma, WA has some similarities to Germany when it comes to the weather.

 

Yeah, mine had rust there too when I got it brand new from the dealer. They agreed to touch that up though.

Paint it or leave it alone? There's some on the hitch too

 

Paint it, why not. Wire brush it until the rust is gone then throw some paint on there.

 

just as bad as buffalo with all the snow and salt.

and we are suppose to get 2-5 inches tomarrow, when will it end

 

perfect time to relocate it......

 

Yours looks like they miss some spots at the factory. Paint it electric yellow

 

Sand it/wire brush and some rustolium paint.
