    Let’s go with the assumption that his description is correct and the Tundra is very totaled. It rolls, but not well.

    Any reputable tow company will take one look at that truck in that state and won’t use a sling truck. It’s too much risk. But who knows, I could be wrong.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Most of their heavy electronics and logic equipment is Hitachi

    Hitachi is a solid manufacturer, the stuff that they actually manufacture, the stuff they rebrand, like cheap Chinese power tools, aren't very good

    It must be some old thing because how can it defrost if stuff is on it like a shelf? the manual once every year defrost like the old days? (unplug it and let it thaw)
