    minor, TRD skid plate, front recovery points, Regken mud flaps, rear diff breather, AC drain pipe extended. Upgraded sound with active sub woofer, tonneau cover, CB radio.
    Sure. Same thing, and more, than once. Most impressive was experience of diesel powered tank engines at the temperatures between -30 to -50.
    Locals using industrial oil instead of engine coolant (brilliant!!!) and hot air (torch flame) into engine intake, works like charm!!!

    Next time don't be a dick and brush the snow off your truck, especially the windows you need to see out of to drive.

    Ya. The snow is in wrong spot. It should be all over front end and jamb packed in wheel wells. Either from off roading or blowing donuts at the mall parking lot

    Not my present truck and not where I live now but my Tundra in Sault Ste. Marie, MI routinely experienced temps in the minus 40’s - 30 range.

    -57 below was the coldest temp I’ve ever personally been exposed to and that was in the North Maine Woods.

    Nice Durango bro.

    The radio said it was -22 this morning, but the truck read -11. In any event, it started up fine. The clutch was like molasses for about 5" or so. Otherwise ran like normal.

    Tacoma--the truck of choice for Boulder CO and Kona HI...

    -15° here yesterday in South Texas. We even drove in the snow to get booze but I won't do that again with the sliding around on corners and hills. Sooo many people with front wheel drive stuck on the roadside without traction.

    You live in Boulder? I did from 1969 to 1980, what a cool place it was back then. Worked in -30 degree weather twice there.

    -20, the trans makes some weird noises at that temp. I used to put the tcase in N and let the truck idle in 1st gear for a while to get the oil flowing through evreything.

    I used to work at an airport and had to service oil on jets and it was amazing watching the normally water thin jet oil turn into syrup at those low temps pouring it in.

    We had -37 last week, but I know it was much colder just a little north of us. Not really a big fan of these trucks in that kind of weather, although that seems to be my only gripe really - just awful traction in the cold and ice, even in 4wd.

    -12°, but the garage temp was about 30°, so it probably doesn't count.

    It was +19 this morning, pretty cold for AL. Truck is only about 6 weeks in my driveway so that's the coldest it has seen in my ownership. Previous owner was in VA so it may well have seen colder in it's relative short life (mine is a '20 that I bought on New Years Eve with 8K miles).

    Mehhh... whatever. It was -4 in Victoria last week; that's like -a bazillion when you convert from Island temperatures to rest of the country.
