    Been utilizing the forums a while but haven’t posted.

    Bought this 2015 in Fall 2022 in North Jersey. VIN pulls TRD Pro but I don’t think it actually is a Pro. Had 26k and one owner with good dealer history. It did get some CRC from dealer at one point.

    I’ve been in South FL since purchasing and have a long commute, current ODO is 64k. I’m moving back to the northeast this summer and love the truck but don’t really know what to make of the rust with the mileage considered

    I still owe about $17000 and may sell it down here if it makes sense

    If I keep it, I’ll do Fluid Film or similar annually

    thanks for reading

    I agree, nothing wrong there , wool wax or fluid film will stop that surface rust. Make sure you get it good inside those channels up near the cats.

    I see on Amazon they sell FF in red capped cans and black capped cans. Why are there two different kinds?

    red is original

    Why do you not trust the VIN? That's not really something that can be manipulated. Well, not easily.

    Is there stuff missing that Pro's were supposed to come with?

    My Carfax report list my truck as “2015 TOYOTA TACOMA ACCESS CAB/TRD PRO” it is not a TRD Pro.

    Ah. I thought you were using the Toyota website. Try that and see what Toyota says they built.

    Carfax can be pretty thin on accuracy on lots of things

    Yes, the Toyota site is definitely more spot on.

    Your frame looks good
    Keep checking it from time to time
    Extended warranty goes 12 years after truck was first purchased

    I still think Toyota short changed Tacoma owners
    Frame should have been a recall
    Making them more responsible for their poor quality frame
