Yep, the area of the frame in between the can and bed has had some rot issues. And TOYOTA is trying to step up and keep this from sinking there ship. They have had quite a few quality issues here as of late, most believe that TOYOTA cut corners to pass GM as the #1 US automobile and figured they would take of the problems later when they came up. And I couldn't own something that said TuRD right on it.

Because of who I work for, I can only say that I have seen
the frames up close and verify that it is true.

90's through to early 21st century is said to be affected. It isn't a recall, but if yours is rotting out they will buy it back. I haven't paid much attention to it myself, but from what I have read they didn't coat the steel with any corrosion protection and they are simply rusting out. It also has to do with how they formed them as well, but not up on the details.

CTT, I'll somewhat agree with MJ on the AVALANCHE. When I was a salesman for CHEVY, I hated those things. To much wasted space in them for me. If your considering the AVALANCHE, just get the SUBURBAN. There the same exact thing for the most part except for the body. They both have the same drivetrain and wheelbase.

CTT, I'll let you know tomorrow where I will be,
but it looks like no fishing time.

Wedding on Saturday and then back to Pa on Sunday to pack for Japan.

CY, I could tell you the whole story, but my lips are sealed due to extenuating circumstances.
