    New here but wanted to pass the word........My '02 is Toyota # 13 and the 3rd p/u.....After "losing it" for 11 days ( they gave us a Prius to use,wife wants a new one:rolleyes:)....they returned it Friday........WOWW...how many other companies will do a "frame swap"???? Plus ,they priced a "shock package" I could not beat ( I priced HARD on the "Net" and they matched)..plus I finally gave in and did the Ball joint recall too......Whole front end is new,new rear suspension,brake lines plus E-brake cables..then they do the little extras,new coolant including block,R&R a/c and recharge....even cleaned and re-oiled my K&N filter;)........

    Glad to find a "Taco" forum and will try to pass "learning experiences" as they happen...

    Damn that is one awesome Toyota dealer! I didn't know they did frame swaps??? I thought it was just rusted, scrapped.

    tacoholic,

    the newest recall is to "inspect" and either;prep,reseal and paint or replace the complete frame for '00 up to '04's .....my dealer had 3 going on with mine and two being crushed ( older models)....one of our other drivers has his over at another dealer for the "frame swap" and my neighbor is getting the "prep/seal' deal....Frames are trucked from Texas on Flatbeds then fitted to our cab/beds.....I can not say enough about the "Dealer" keeping me in the "loop".....my letter to Toyota is in the draft stage as we speak........

    Stock. Purchased 2/17/19. Cement!
    Did anyone ask what dealership this was? That is freakin' awesome. Never heard of such a thing... Frame Swap. That sounds labor intensive. So I guess Toyota would wanna do it and get reimbursed through Corp. Nice move and good choice of dealership.
