What Owners Say
"Its called delamination. Started ten years ago. The clear coat on these Year model 2005-6 Tacomas just peels off all over. You see it on nearly all the vehicles of this model and year group. A huge paint defect issue that Toyota has always refused to fix or compensate owners."
Anonymous A., SC (2006 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner 4.0-L V6)"2006 is starting to rust out"
Anonymous, IL (2006 Toyota Tacoma Base 2.7-L 4 Cyl)"There is significant rusting of the frame. Although Toyota undercoated the truck as part of a recall then entire frame is rusting significantly and is nearing end of life. It should have been replaced like other vehicle during the recall. This has been the only negative about this truck."

"The paint started peeling about 18 months ago. Started on the top of cab above front windshield and continues to the end of cab. Also the hood started peeling first between the windshield washer sprayer nozzles. And very little peeling at the front part of the hood by grill"
