@fightforfood247 I’m ultimately going to have to eat it. It is either lose $7-8k or just drive it and eventually break even 3 years from now. Going to take plenty of pics and then try to get under there with a rust remover and see what I can do. There is plenty of grease under there. Not sure what happened.

I am perplexed as to why you’ve got the rust and I don’t - but maybe I will - google “rust under seat” and watch a wave of complaints for every kind of vehicle. It’s not toyota being cheap is my point. It just happens. I’ll do some more digging as I’m just curious. Part of the issue is if our trucks cost 30K we wouldn’t care lol.

Alright I’m going to take a good look at these pics and then go out to my truck and see what mine looks like.
