Toyota has a history of not making things right. I inherited a 2003 Tundra from my dad when he became incapable of safe driving. American made Tundras and Tacomas had several years where inferior steel resulted in millions of rotten frames being ignored or covered (up) with undercoating. I’ll have to spend a couple of thousand dollars to make my Tundra safe for more than a few years. Toyota told me that the truck was in for the recall where no rust was discovered. I do not believe for a second that there was no rust when the technicians sprayed the frame. Here are a couple of pics- there is zero rust anywhere else on the frame. The truck only has 74K actual miles on the meter. But this is “normal” wear and tear…

Are you kidding me? You have some surface rust. Anyone who lives in the rust belt would kill for a frame that clean. I cant believe that you are upset about that.
