    I thought I read that the coolant pipe problem was on the older 3rd Gen Tacoma’s. Mostly affecting the 2016 thru 2020. Is that the case or does it affect all the 3rd Gen models?

    It can affect any of them, but the part was updated around 2019 or 2020. There seem to have been less failures in the later years, and most of the failures in the later years seem to be a failed or improperly installed part right off the bat, rather than the part going bad from years or miles of use wearing it out quickly. In other words, the later part number seems to be reliable as long as there wasn't a fluke when it was installed at the factory.

    There’s a big thread here somewhere, but as mentioned the issues seem to have been mostly resolved.
