FRAME IS EXTREMELY RUSTED ON 1997 TOYOTA T100 PICKUP. BALANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED. RUSTED FRAME HAS CAUSED MANY OF THE CONNECTED PARTS TO ALSO RUST AND MAKING BASIC REPAIRS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX. THE SUSPENSION AND BRAKING SYSTEM HAVE BEEN EFFECTED THE MOST BY THE RUST. *TR

Across model years
Worst on record: 1994Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
