    10 days old and only 600 miles. $3000 worth of damage.

    Just detailed the truck after having it for 8 months..5 or 6 chips that required a dab of touch up paint. Living here in the land of salt and stones in the winter is rough on a ride.

    When my'14 was about 6 weeks old some neighborhood kids thought it would be a great idea to jump on my hood. Got a nice big dent right on the hood body line. Insurance covered it with oem parts and I used this as an opportunity to upgrade to a scooped hood. Cost me about $750 out of pocket, but now I have a skewp!

    Couple of minor door dings, been lucky so far. Trying to avoid trail rash just yet, but have been through some brush that I am surprised hasn't scratched it. Seems to be s lot tougher than the GMC Sonoma I had previously.

    Bought mine new in July. About a month ago I had phone in one hand, keys in other, was in a hurry, and stupidly hit the door right above the passenger lock tumbler with the tip of the Toyota key. Made a finger nail feel-able scratch about 1.5 inches long. Damnit. Totally my doing, but I swear this Toyota key is (was) sharper at the tip than any other key I've had before.

    I just ordered a paint stick and a clearcoat stick from AutomotiveTouchup.com, hopefully that will take care of it. The scratch went just through the clearcoat but I figured I'd buy the paint stick just for future whatevers.

    ARE cap, wade inchannel vent visors, weathertec floor mats, ranch hand grill guard, tuffy security boxes in bed, lockable tailgate handle. Still have stuff that needs to be installed and still have stuff ordered lol.
    i picked mine up from dealer and drove it home and parked it front of my house and sat there and within 1 week my back bumper scratched up on passenger side and tail light got scuffed up and some one double parked beside my truck and scratched paint on bed when they opened the door, and of course the touchup paint i bought for truck doesn't match its lighter than the color of truck.

    Just a few along the back of the cab, darn dogs! Came after a few months. Irritated me at first, then I remembered I got the truck for truck things! No worries here!

    Still waiting since March for my first one. Studded tires will go on in another month or so, should be pretty scuffed up by April.

    Found dent on the roof my first week. Either caused my the auto car wash i went through or the guy who detailed it at the dealership before I left. Popped it back out from the inside couple days ago, looks good as new.

    Less then 500 miles on my 15 and someone at my apartment had a purse or something and put two scratches on the rear quarter panel. Every time I wash it now, it kills me because everything else is perfect still

    I took my 2014 down ATV trails and 1/2 mile down the middle of a creek before it had 500 miles on the clock. It's a Tacoma and I don't plan on entering it in any car shows... :)

    One thing I can say is the paint job sucks on these trucks. Branches that never left a mark on my other vehicles scratched the hell out of my truck.

    Two days after I got it. Someone opened a door into it. Barely noticeable but I know it's there. Might buff out.

    My 2014 had 2k miles on it when I took it out and got pin striping. Now I don't care and never will. I and most others purchased these trucks for one thing and that is work and have fun. No way to do that looking like a Barbie =p

    my first couple were self inflicted, got a used truck cap (tall) to go camping, while lifting it up (with only two people) it slipped off the side a little and scratched my TRD sticker all to hell

    above cap was from craigslist, $50, missing rear lift window, made my own, during fabrication again self inflicted scratches on painted side of tailgate

    I accidentally put a big scratch in my tailgate trying to load a push mower( a heavy ass one) by myself. I stood in the bed and lifted it straight up, and part of the mower gouged the paint. Well I couldn't have that, so I had the tailgate repainted. We have a family friend who works for himself doing body work. He does amazing work, looks brand new. :D

    Amazed I haven't got brush scratches yet. I shouldn't have said that. Tiny rock chip on the hood is rusted, what's the best way to get rid of the rust before touch up without making it bigger, so it doesn't grow UNDER the touch up. That's one thing on my Sonoma, it had tons of rock chips, and for whatever reason, the primer was white under black paint, but none ever got past the white or ever rusted. I laughed at people that said "typical rust" in their ads, the buyer was amazed at how clean mine was as well.

    Couple of minor door dings, but not chipped yet.
