    Then you ran out of gas or your truck is broken. Good thing you weren’t stuck in a blizzard when that happened.

    Over GVWR and I keep adding more metal
    apparently they do.

    Fuck that. Fuck Toyota for even thinking that is good. My sister SWORE it would not shut off if the keys were left with the vehicle while it was on and the A/C was running. I reluctantly agreed to leave the dogs in the Death Valley sun while the truck idled with the A/C on. We were within eyesight getting food at the saloon in case anything bad happened. I didn't notice the vehicle had shut down, and when I went out, the fan was still running but the engine was off... it was hotter than the devils dick... poor doggos. Anyway, apparently some do shut down. Back to being on topic...

    Well damn glad I read this. I left the dogs in my old vehicle all the time with ac and engine on. Thanks for the heads up on this. Need to look into that a bit more on my end.
