What owners wrote

On 01-08-2018 I had a mva in which the front of my truck struck another vehicle and my air bag was deployed. As you may judge from the picture the impact was minimal. The other vehicle, a 2003 honda civic, was drivable, while my much bigger truck was not due to my condition and the deployed air bag. I was knock out approximately 5 to 7 minutes, I made this estimate by the arrival of winter park pd.

I had my truck bed rhino lined when new. I now have only 95,000 miles on it and the bed is rusting from underneath. I lowered the spare tire and could see the corrosion more clearly. The rust is actually bubbling up the rhino liner.toyota did issue a recall for this issue, however mine was not showing these issues at the time, now the recall has expired. Toyota knows there is a problem, they need to extend the recall so that vehicles can be repaired safely and put back on the road without the bed falling off.
