WOW how far they can fall where Quality is concern
Pros: Rattle & squeak free.
Cons: RUST RUST RUST
The first 4 years were trouble free, another happy Toyota owner. Then it started! Rust started to take over on the underside of my vehicle and every 15 months I was in the shop getting rusted rear brakes replaced. Then 7 years into my ownership experience my frame started to flake off big chunks of rust. Toyota has serious problems in the quality area as I was quick to learn in early 2009. 1995 - 2000 Tocomas being bought back due to rusted frames, 2001 - 2004 Tacomas being both bought back (early on) and new frames being installed in the others, 2001 - 2004 Tundras with same issue of rusted frame, not to mention all the other recalls recently.
