Will this qualify for frame replacement??

I honestly wouldn't waste the time. The truck isnt totalled, you got off relatively cheap. New suspension, new hitch, clean, patch, and coat the rest of the frame as soon as possible, considering how close snow season is approaching.

 

It’s not happening they won’t be strong armed.

 

the recall expired a long time ago

 

yea, towing with that will either rip the hitch off or bend the rear end of the frame.

 

Sounds good. Thank you everyone for the insight. Much appreciated!

 

I have seen far worse! If your looking to dump some money into it I would recommend pull the bed off drop the tank,spare,the skids . Put it on some jack stands and undo the coolant ,brake lines to cab your steering column. Then your cab bolts and jack up the cab about 6 inches . You may have ubolt some of fuse box and lay on engine. Rent a high presure steam Jenny and peel all that rust old coating on the frame off. Don't forget to hose out the inside of the front of rails. Also check where motor mount to frame have seen some rot/crack.

 

If you got the coating done by toyota that should give you an additional 3 years if I remember

Edit: and the frame warranty is 12 years not 10

 

if you want to "strong-arm" Toyota you might want to contact the Yakuza. good luck.
