Was at my dealer's service department this AM. I know the Service Writer for a long time .. He told me to check out the shop, they were replacing a Taco chassis under warranty. I'm new to Toyota, so I was pretty surprised by this, and actually never heard of another car maker doing this. Pretty impressive!

Walking around the yard .. I can't stand sitting in a waiting room, I saw two rusted out chassis' waiting to be hauled away. I know the one being done was an '07, the other I don't know.

It brought up a couple of thoughts ... One, Toyota must value it's name and reputation quite highly to go to such an extent for a customer, and two, wouldn't it be much cheaper, considering it is about an all week job for one tech, at $110+ per hour shop time, for Toyota to offer a new vehicle at 20% off or so??

I'm pretty surprised by all this ..
