"IF" you only had one complaint about your truck, what would it be?

I only have one complaint about my 2001 Tacoma (93k), my chrome bumper is rusting from the inside out . I purchased this truck in November of 2000, the truck is kept in a garage nightly, and it’s parked in a covered parking garage during the day. The chrome started flaking off on the flat part of the bumper about two years ago, then about six months ago I realized it was rusting from the inside out. To be honest, that bumper is embarrassing, but in today’s economy I don’t have an extra $300 to replace it. The service manager at my Toyota dealership said he has seen worse looking bumpers on newer trucks. That statement sure didn’t give a boost of confidence in purchasing a new truck (lol).
Other then that one complaint, I love my Tacoma & plan on driving it until she dies.
