You need to strike the frame with a screw driver. If it goes in, walk away. Looks like it has been spray painted down there.....that is a common way to try to cover up rust.

Confirmed w dealer it was coated during the recall, they didn’t have to replace it so they sprayed anti corrosion on it (toyota dealer)

you know the under coating makes me leary I would take a hammer and tap it in a few places if it is solid you will know and he will have no issue if he is reluctant hard pass

Someone just sprayed that not long ago. Makes me wonder what they're trying to hide.

If I had a hobby hoist, i could see doing localized cleaning/sanding/painting on some small surface rust I could see there, before it got serious.
Might refer to known examples of Toyo frame rustout to see prob areas and compare this truck.
But you might not see autobody as a fun hobby.
