Rust warranty

Opinions on this rust on the frame? Should we remove black coating to take it to be looked at?

 

Cancer!

not too sure on the process but that frame looks real flaky.

Took it to one dealer today they said it looks fine

 

Do you have a better picture of the original post? There are two that look pretty bad in here.

 

Second looks to be rust through, poke at it

 

It's fine until you can poke a hole through it. Hit some of those spots with a hammer and see if it is soft.

 

Get to a dealership! You have until 12 years from original sale date to get the frame replacement.
My 2010 regular cab took 3 months to get the frame as it was custom built as regular cab trucks aren't built anymore.
Don't wait!

 

Yes I did today since I called they told me our warranty is up in November. They said it’s fine

 

Get on that with a chipping hammer (gently) and wire brush (vigorously).. Some of that looks no bueno. Really clean it up and see if there are any holes.

If you have the option to do frame warranty- I’d do it on Toyota’s dime. It’s definitely not bad enough to pay for it tho! My frame’s gotta look a lot worse before I’d consider funding that.

 

I agree with this.

looks "OK" from my comfy computer chair, but a little cleaning would be good. Not to mention to get some undercoating. Some runny, goopy undercoating like Krown or RustCheck. None of that rubberized "5 year" junk. That stuff does more harm then good.

 

See if there is a way for you to look/ inspect inside the frame, they usually rot from the inside out.
