I have a 97 Tacoma extended cab. At about 30K miles, the truck's black paint started to crack under the clearcoat. I have been told by a Toyota approved bodyshop that is was called "crow's feet". the bodyshop said that it was nothing that I could have done, that it was a defect from the factory. I then took the truck to the dealer where I got it from, and they prolonged dealing with the issue until the truck ran out of warranty. I have about 134K now on the truck, and it also has a bad valve tick that from what I read on the internet seems not uncommon for this engine. I know that some time has past, but I just found this site. I think that something should be done about the way this company treats their customers. This truck was not cheap, even for the winter of 1998.
