Janet,
Which dealership did you bring your Tundra to? I want to make sure I don’t patronize them ever.

great article but still just a tease and no real meat to it just speculation. anyhow, my ‘00 has severe rust – the front sway bar mount rotted and fell apart, the sway bar dropped and took out a power steering line. its a disaster! I have 120000 miles on it. I have had many many toyotas including a pristene ‘96 Tacoma, never have i seen anything as atrocious as this.

I live in VT, BTW (rust central).

take back my Toyota!

Phil – Fair enough. Many people who never have liked Toyota have always said they had a reputation for rust.

Heh, I have seen more Toyota trucks busted in two than I have seen Ford trucks on fire. I don’t know why this is being treated like some sort of major revelation, Toyota’s always had junk frames for their pickups. Heck I have seen less 80s and early 90s Toyota trucks with intact non-welded frames that those that were either busted or repaired. Those trucks were built in Japan so no Dana scape goat to blame it on. My Ford truck’s frame busted between the spring mounts, but then it only took 32 years and 265,000 miles for it to happen.

RJM before coming into a different website and shoot out all the problems of one manufacturer, you should at least know the issues of your favorite manufacturer. Now explain Ford’s second recall on the same item the cruise control which catches on fire? You can take this several ways. Is it that Ford owners think their poop don’t stink so they don’t get it fixed? Is it they can’t read? Here’s a good one is it that the part replaced is having the same problem again? Yes Ford’s are built Ford tough, especially when it comes to catching your home on fire. Ford’s fix for this is don’t leave your truck or SUV in the garage or next to your house. So now you park your Ford across the street.

rjm – I think the lesson is that all trucks have problems. The F150 shoots spark plugs out of engines, can spontaneously combust, and has been known to blow an airbag when the key is put in the ignition. http://www.tundraheadquarters......-problems/

I dont feel sorry for anyone who gives money for a foriegn product.
Ford has had the best selling truck for 31 years now.The frame rust on these trucks is an obvious sign of a cost cut in the material process or poor quality / consistency in anti corrosive techniques. And they did not learn much, the current generation tundra has a host of issues. Sales speak volumes its how the consumer speaks. I hope there is a lesson here for all.
