“Frame has rotted out to the point the vehicle can no longer be safety certified. It is the same type of frame rot that was part of the recall for both the tacoma and tundra. The same frame rot problem is in the t100. It has seen winter driving here in maine, but it has always been kept clean with regular trips to the carwash.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Jul 2016
“Hello I own a 1993 toyota t 100 4x4 truck . The truck only has 106000 miles on it and the entire frame, front suspension fuel lines are almost rusted out to a point where I cant even get it past inspection. The toyota dealer near me wont offer any advice in what to do. The rust is so bad , I have holes in the frame and the bumper fell off on the highway . I have owned older trucks from other companies and have never seen rust this bad. *js”Owner report · Structure · Apr 2012

“Recall part defective in 1993 toyota t 100 .. We had our head gasket replaced during the recall and 40,000 miles later our truck is completely disabled due to this same problem! It is a very costly repair for a part that I see by doing a search online is being reported as having many repeat occurrences with consumers. My vehicle is worth over $5000 at least if it ran that is. The repair by the dealership has been denied and contacting the manufacturer has been useless. Both basically say its my problem but I feel its not since people who purchased toyota trucks known to have problem are still stuck with this major defect on a part that should last the life of your vehicle. *jb”Owner report · Engine And Engine Cooling · Feb 2005
