    I was in the bay of my 2012 tacoma and never realized my fan mount is hot pink. Anyone else realize this?

    I seem to remember reading on here it meant you had Tow package if clutch was pink.

    Idk though. But tons of threads on it.

    I think its because it uses Toyota pink antifreeze and its just a reminder of that.Just my guess,because Toyota uses different colored antifreeze for different models or years.

    thumbs up for the pink fan mount. I have one on my '11, it just means that your truck is a girl, if it was blue it would be a boy.

    Ok, so what's the big deal if it's pink?










    Toyota got a hot deal on pink paint.
