I have to disagree with the Tacoma frame warranty comment. There are heaps of Tacoma owners in the US with a rusted hunk of shit because Toyota wouldn't cover them. There are also heaps who had to fight tooth and nail for anything. Of course, many have had it fixed too but to suggest Toyota is looking after their customers with that concern isn't completely accurate.
I've been following the frame rust situation closely since about 2011 because our Taco is an '07 and the potential for dangerous frame rust scares the shit out of me. They did apply the shitty coating a number of years back under warranty but as many (more knowledgable than me) predicted, it's just flaking off. Now I need to scrape it back and begin annual undercoating of my own to minimize the rust.
