    I bought this truck a week ago from a gentleman in NH. Paid $1700 bucks for it. Thinking I was getting a great deal until I got home and saw the frame. No holes but certainly rusty.
    I thought what the heck I would take it into the dealership and see if it qualifies for the frame warranty. Made an app at 11am Friday morning, took it in and 30-40 mins later he came back and said the frame is toast even though there are no holes or perforations. Found out the truck had been sprayed by Toyota in 2010 and that the delivery date on the vehicle was Aug 2003 and it still had 5 months of warranty left. Soooooo after calling Toyota Corp they gave the green light and I left app an hour later a pretty happy camper. The service advisor told me that it would be app 2 months to get done so they gave me a new Sienna to use in the mean time. I am still in shock and can't believe it!
