    hi guys
    I have a 03 Tacoma that is showing some frame rust holes. So I have a couple questions. It's and extended cab 4x4 trd w 168k miles. It was under coated in 2010. If it fails inspection (which I'm confident it will) are they gonna replace the frame on this truck or are they going to want to buy it back? Also, I have done a buyback a few years ago on a 99. Is this gonna have a negative effect on them possibly buying this one back? I think I'm gonna look for a southern truck for my next one...

    They don't buy back 01-04s. They just swap the frames.

    No your past history will not effect the outcome.

    Getting a Southern Truck is not really a major plus just longer till the problems start.

    I bought one from down south.

    Get ready for a wait most dealers are pretty backed up.

    The frame vendor can not keep up with the demand.
