Test Drove New Tacoma--Something Strange Happened

water trapped inside the tailgate?

Doesn't make any sense. There are thousands of Tacomas in Florida and other rainy states. I've never heard of a single "rusty water" problem before. It's impossible for "a couple of gallons" of water to collect beneath the bed.

X2 I've owned 2 and seen hundreds of new tacomas. There is absolutely
no place, other than the bed, where gallons of water can be trapped.

I know my T100, which has a plastic bedliner, will collect quite a bit of water when it rains, due to the 'Toyota Rake'. When I pull away it spills out between the tailgate and the bed, which could look like it was coming from under the bed.
