Punctured Radiator

Hi All: I have a 2015 Tacoma with a sport package. At 850 miles my radiator got punctured from normal road driving. The repair was not covered under warranty and it cost me $1000 to repair including the $350 tow from a remote area.

In looking at the radiator, it is no wonder that this happened. With the lift, the radiator is exposed and very vulnerable. Has anyone else experienced this and has anyone done anything to protect the radiator?

Thanks, Maggie

 

Dearest Maggie,

We will need some more information if we're to help you, or at least have a constructive conversation on this internet forum thread.

I have taken the liberty of creating some questions for you to answer that will facilitate the delivery of aforementioned information.

What Brand is the lift?

What Type is the lift? (Body, Suspension)

Can you further define your lift specs based on the answer above?

Warmest Regards,

Wiggles

 

Pictures of your front end and the vulnerable spot would also help

 

Most likely a Body Lift.
