    powder coated hood support.
    In my far too long search for a '13 - '15 low mile, MT, A/C,4x4 I came apon this: '14, M/T, A/C 4X4, w/ 65000 miles on it and "extremely well maintained". It looked great till the pic of it with the hood up came up at the end. Dose the engine look like it overheated at some point or is it my imagination?

    Mine looked like that when my head gasket went bad and coolant was pushed out of the overflow tank. But that splatter doesn't look like pink Toyota coolant. Appears to be mud/clay

    Radiator and condenser might be plugged full of mud.... something to look into if considering purchase

    A little of this and a little of that.
    That red/orange/brown ish colored stuff over everything looks like evidence of mud and dirt to me, not an overheated condition.

    The seller should’ve cleaned up the engine bay prior to showing the truck.
