Yeah it’s kinda ridiculous on a fairly new truck to be doing this. I have all the paperwork. They said it’s only in white! So you’re lucky

If you haven't done so already, check your warranty booklet for this from the 2020 warranty & maintenance guide downloaded from Toyota's website:

party to hear and resolve a dispute. The
program is informal and free of charge.

I just saw your post. I had this issue a little over a year ago. I have the 2017 White Tacoma as well and the paint chipping is in the same spot as yours. I had it fixed by Toyota. About a week ago I noticed the paint bubbling in that same area again. I checked but I just don’t see any water issues that may be causing this.

White is always notorious for peeling. From my experience, white paints tend to be thinner than other colors. And its peeling there by the doors because the paint is thinner on all surfaces that arent parallel to the overall body lines. The paint guns dont adjust to the angles and edges, allowing less paint and clear coat buildup in those areas. Also, could be a reaction between the sealer and white paint.

If it bubbled up before and after they repaired it, I'd bet it was a chemical reaction from the E-primer and sealer.
I think its’s bonding issue which is why it seems to be flaking off. The first time around for me that’s what was happening. I just think it’s weird that this second time around it’s bubbling up in the same area after it was repainted over a year ago which made me think there was maybe a pin hole size opening where maybe water was getting in but I didn’t seem to see anything like that after I checked.
The paint is definitely thin, I think my paint was at about 2.5-3 mils.

Yea. It should be 5-7 mils thick. The bubbling also could be where the body shop rushed the job, and didn't let the primer or sealant cure before putting color down. Solvent gas has to go somewhere. Either way, it should be under warranty from the shop, depending on how long been.
