    We have a Toyota Tacoma Prerunner.
    When we bought it I thought it was a 1999-2000 year model. Is this possible? We need to know because the frame needs to be replaced, & we are hoping it falls under the frame replacement program Toyota has for these older trucks.

    Ask any dealer to look up vin # or look at your registration papers for year then check internet for recall info.

    When is the production date of the vehicle It is on the Vin sticker on the door if some one has not removed

    Entering the VIN on any of the online Toyota dealer parts vendors will also tell you the year.

    Only 01-04's got frame replacements...earlier years were bought back and even if its a 2000 its beyond any coverage.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    1995-2000 model years are no longer covered under frame warranty. Only the 01-04's get that now.
