    I'm just about to pull the trigger on buying an 01' Extended Cab that had its frame replaced by Toyota in 2009.

    I understand that the original (previous) frame was covered by the Warranty Extension Program for 15 years from the date of original sale, but is there any warranty for the (new) frame that Toyota installed in 2009?

    I can't find any documentation or confirmation from another owner with a frame replacement.

    I just recently had my 2001 Tacoma's frame replaced. The new frame has another 15 year warranty. I couldn't be happier, the truck is driving like new. The new frame seems to have a better coating on it than the faulty frames.

    Are you sure the new frames have a warranty? I have never seen or heard of this. If you have any documentation please post it. My frame was replaced in 2011 and Nothing was ever said about a warranty being on it.

    I heard this as well and the only warranty you have is whatever is left of your 15 years from manufactured date of the truck and that's all you have, nothing extended for the new frame since is isn't a purchased item it has no "additional" warranty coverage with it.

    if it doesn't say it clearly in writing on paper somewhere, then you have no extra warranty period with it.
