2020 TRD OR lost all power on the interstate

Or a bunch of car renting apps like Turo, Getaround, Lyft available on the iphone or andriod

 

I hope you're able to get some compensation back from Toyota for the tow, I know the warranty book in the truck says it covers towing to the nearest dealer, and not the dealer closest to your house. I would hope that if you are able to document everything with the towing company, and work through with corporate that they will comp at least some of it back.

The fact that there is next to nothing between Jackson and Nashville to me means that your decision to tow it home was pretty much your only choice. Otherwise you would be having the same conversation about comping a motel and meals.

 

Thanks for all of the helpful replies, at this point I would expect nothing less from this group. I called Toyota corporate and it sounds like they will cut me a check for the tow if I jump through the appropriate hoops and wait 4-6 weeks, which I'm happy to do. Seems like they understand the situation and want to go above and beyond for me so I couldn't be happier.

 

I had a similar experience on the NYS thruway. On my way to my destination I lost A/C, fan, power windows. Okay - this was puzzling but since my Taco was drivable I kept on to my destination. Checked into the hotel, had a good night's rest, and when I tried to start it in the AM, the battery was weak. Hmm. Went to my meeting, all seemed okay, finished that task and headed for a local Taco dealer. They troubleshooted fuses, replaced those that had blown and all is good - right?
Well, not quite. Back on the thruway heading home I lost the A/C, fan & power windows again. Now it gets stranger - my truck starts to slow down. No power. If I press on the gas, it seems to die. I have to feather the gas and limp along at 35-40 MPH. Finally get to a rest stop and call for a tow to the nearest Toyota dealer (closed). I get with them the next morning after they attempt to diagnose the issue. Their response is that the battery is dead and I need a new alternator for hundreds of $$$. Apparently I had been running solely on the battery and as it died so did the engine. Now I'm skeptical as I just had some work done (replaced the magnetic clutch on the A/C pump). Further, I had recently got my truck back from a frame replacement done by my local dealer. I'm thinking there's more to this than just needing an alternator.
So, knowing that I can get quite miles behind me running solely off the battery, I buy a new battery. Have them fully charge both the existing and new battery so I can drive the 300+ miles back to my dealer. Made it back to home on the old battery and bring to my dealer the next morning.
To shorten this story a bit, turns out that the new A/C clutch had a short. It tripped a fuse or breaker. This, combined with the other blown fuses, tricked the ECU into thinking there was no need to charge the battery, so it didn't. The alternator was fine, as was my old battery. Toyota replaced the A/C clutch (on them) and all is back to normal. Bitched at the NYS dealer about their faulty diagnosis so they refunded the cost of the new battery, which I sold for near cost a few days later.
The moral of this story from my perspective - Toyota's electrical and electronics are SO interlinked that sometimes the least likely, unrelated issue causes techs to chase ghosts.
I don't consider this a black mark against Toyota, but it does cause far to much aggravation when troubleshooting.
