    I inherited my 09 Tacoma, 2.7 auto. It has 58,000 miles. I have been reading quite a bit on this forum about frame rust. My tacoma has lived in the south and won't be taking many trips to the salty north.
    My frame appears to be in perfect shape - no rust !
    What would you recommend I do to keep the frame rust free...Thanks !

    Pressure wash the underside, let dry and then do “Fluid Film”.

    Keep it in the south.

    Keep it off the beaches.

    If you go N in salt season, or get beach wet sand, pressure wash when done.

    My '13 looks new, living on coastal Fl. With no attention or treatments.

    OP....your most cost effective option is to keep the frame clean and dry. Suggest after off-road or mud encounters to just flush the frame to remove any debris collection.

    Sure you could smear the films on the frame......not sure of the effectiveness in your situation.
