I have a 2010 that I bought new and had rust proofed and kept the annual inspections up to date. I have not noticed any rust yet, but I have not inspected the inside of the box sections, where they seem to be rusting. I had seen this come up on the truck forums with the 2005 and newer trucks. The prior generation (< 2005) Tacoma trucks had a frame rust debacle that resulted in frame replacements or buy backs. You would have though that would have been a learning experience for them, to the extent that a corporation can learn.
My truck just got back from it's first visit to the dealer for some recall work. Other than that it's been a great truck. I'll be keeping an eye on the frame for sure.
Let the Toyota hate rip!
