    All of them
    just add some top off the reservoir with some pre mixed coolant from toyota or an OEM replacement.
    check your manual and it will tell you the exact coolant to look for.
    when you do add it, add it to the max cold line, if the truck has been shut off for a while. hope this helps

    Keep an eye on it, if it gets low again you have a leak somewhere, usually the water pump.
