    I searched but no luck on this one so......
    2015 V-6 and no hose from the overflow to divert any overflow to under the truck.
    I think my 2010 had one so when did this get eliminated?

    if you are pushing that much fluid to the recovery tank on the regular to have it go out the overflow, you have other issues.

    True but in the event it were to happen I would want it to go out the bottom and not out on the engine.
    Does yours have a hose?

    They have all been the same 05-15 4.0's as far as I know. Like nd4spdbh said..If your reservoir tank over flows for some random reason then you have a serious problem

    There should be really really short one there, extend it if you need it. (of course 2010 may be different)

    I can't remember what my 2010 had, traded it for a 2015.
    Any pictures on here that might show a clear shot.

    Do you see an opening (a nub) where the plastic hose would attach to?

    You have a 2015...you're still under warranty. Take it to the dealer and say..."Hey, I might be missing something here..."

    If anything...they'll show you a 2015 and show you that you shouldn't have one.

    There is a nub and a black plastic diverter that snaps down to send any overflow downward but it is in the path of any air coming from the fan shroud and IMHO would make a real mess if some tech put too much coolant in the tank.
