    Mine looks pretty bad but I haven't gotten it checked yet. Wondering what dealers guys used and if you were happy with them or not. Thanks.

    I did not get the name of the dealership, but a guy I know who has a lot of local toyota tech friends had said the dealership he had worked at was pretty backed up with a handful of them just sitting and waiting on frames. I will try and get the name of this specific dealership.

    Mine was done at riverhead Toyota. They had the truck for 4 months. Couple hiccups when I got it back, nothing major tho. All in all I'm very happy to have my truck back and she runs awesome and feels like a new truck.

    That said you're probably going to be waiting a while to have yours swapped, they had a huge response to the service campaign to replace the frames and it has since expanded to include 30 states now instead of the original 20. Just make sure you tell them you need something comparable to your truck. I had a 2014 TRD sport dclb as my loaner the entire winter. Hope that helps.

    Thanks. I was under the truck changing coolant/ oil yesterday. Doesn't look as bad as some pics I've seen on here. Plenty of surface rust but no holes. I even banged on it a bit. Not sure what to do yet, I don't want that oily mess they spray.

    Personally I'd wait as long as you can and see what it looks like after the winter. You have til March of 2016 and until then I'd wait until you find a hole in the frame.
