2013 TRD too much rust underneath?

Looking at this used Tacoma in Central IL, is this just average wear or should i be concerned about this rust?

 

Heres some more pics

 

And a few more lol

 

Looks like a snowbelt truck....don't look bad to me.

 

Yeah Im in Chicago and have always driven cars, Im sure it looks worse on my Maxima but Ive never looked lol. Heard about Toyotas rust issue so thought it good to ask

 

Normal for 3 to 4 Midwest winters. Gotta love salt.

 

Nope, looks good to me. Some surface rust is normal especially on the leafs.

 

Looks good. Take a close look at the boxed frame sections near the front, cab mounts, and floor sheet metal and corners. 2013 isn't old. You should get at least 10 years out of a rust belt Tacoma. More than that if you take care of them and keep them clean and oiled.

 

The springs are the only things that look kinda bad.
Everything else looks okay.

Any pictures of the frame?

 

Thanks for all the info guys, i got tons of pics since its so far away, looking for these opinions before i make the drive.

 

Ya your good to go...I see nothing wrong, looks normal.

 

Awesome, just needed to hear it from someone not making commisson off me haha

 

Glad you posted this... i just bought a 2013 from Delaware and it looks similar underneath. Too late for me to turn back, but I appreciate the peace of mind =)

 

Spend some maintenance time with some phosphoric acid to neutralize the rust followed by application of chassis black. You could also use one POR15 or one of the Eastman chassis products.

 

A bit of Fluid Film and she'll be good to go.

 

Jump starting this thread: Also looking at a 2013 DCLB (148k miles for 22k). Truck is from SLC, so rust, but the guy says he has all his vehicles coated for protection. Have all service records for last 5 years. Is this too much in some spots though?

It seems kinda bad at some welds and near wheels.

 

Looks good to me!

 

Yup, looks pretty darned good. You can touch up the differential and some of those welds if you want, it’s not very much work.

 

I would say that's very good given the age. A 2-3 beer afternoon with the angle grinder and a couple of wire cups, a rattle can of Rustoleum black and a good coat of fluid-film, that thing will be cherry under her skirts!

 

Thanks for the responses. I was pretty worries about the rear diff, but sounds like I may be overthinking it.

My other option is 2008 trd sport DCLB with 140,000 for 20k. CA truck with only surface rust on the shocks, and was leaning that way.

But I may be more inclined to this 2013 now.
