My 2001 Toyota Tundra has excessive frame & bed rust/ rot. I noticed some rust bubbles forming on the top side of the bed about a year ago. They have increasingly gotten worse and now they are almost rotted through in multiply locations. I maintain my vehicle very well. I wash both the top and bottom of the vehicle throughout the year, even during the new england winters. The bed rust/ rot is were the cross-member under the bed is spot welded. The frames coating/ paint is all flaking off and starting to rust/ rot excessively.
Frame/chassis is rusting at weld joints and mounts. Paint is bubbling and rust is visible below the cracked paint areas, which concerns me since I tow a 6,000 lbs RV trailer. I am also concerned that the vehicle might not pass the virginia state vehicle inspection.
2001 Toyota Tundra limited. Frame is rusting very rapidly, tried to paint frame where I could reach,but paint flaked off after just a few weeks. I talked to local Toyota dealer, they said there was nothing they could do.
