I must know more. What's wrong with the Tacoma?

Toyota trucks have thin sheet metal for the bodies and rust out rapidly in snow country.

I know this was the case decades ago, but is this still an issue after using galvanized steel bodies?

It is common to see a rust trail coming off the rear wiper of their SUVs made in the last ten years.

It's getting pretty dated. For example, some full size trucks now get better fuel economy.

Basically, Toyota has been too afraid to touch it (lest kill the golden goose) for approaching twenty years.
