As a new LC200 owner the depth of information on this forum has been a terrific knowledge builder. When I purchased my vehicle (2019MY, mid-Atlantic based) last month, it had just over 12K miles.
During my PPI of the undercarriage, some of the weld lines exhibited surface corrosion, mostly isolated to the inner lower hitch area (as with most models), the spare tire brace bar and front end tow “ring” attach points. See pictures of the affected areas, including some remediation I did over the weekend.
My question to the group. Are other late model owners experiencing similar corrosion issues or is this what I should expect from a Land Cruiser?

That is rough for a 2019. Looks like you will be on top of it...but wow. I don't feel like that is what

That's pretty much what east coast vehicles look like, based on what has been posted here. Very typical. Even if I wirewheeled and repainted, I would coat with Fluid Film yearly. On a lift, preferably.
I am not doubting you, but is that really how a 2019 should look around the welds? Looks like certain welds on the front only rusted...
