Son Considering a 2009 Tacoma - Advice Please

[Bob]

My son is considering buying a stock 2009 crew short bed 4WD Tacoma for general use and occasional towing of a small camper (actually second generation, '05-'15 would be acceptable). Are there any particular issues or things to watch out for?

Frame rust is the big concern for the 2nd gen tacomas.

By any chance looking for a extended cab/long bed TRD tacoma with a new frame. Has tow package and oem rear locker....:D

Thanks, but he needs the crew cab.

Thanks guys. What about years after the end of the frame recall, 2011 and up? Would a 2015 frame be considered normal?
