Impressed with the 4th Gen

I live in Vegas and my truck does not overheat. I’m glad you know better than Toyota. FWIW I don’t think any truck has a mechanical fan anymore. My Ram Hemi didn’t, and guess what - it never overheated either.

 

Ummm ...

What happens when a electric fan only system schits the bed ?
Please reassure me they won't somehow.

 

Mehhhh....
Let someone report me to a mod.
I'm sure their are plenty on here who will.
Make em feel good they did something meaningful in a hall monitor sort of way...

When’s the last time you replaced an electric fan motor? There’s several in your house, computer, HVAC, etc.

You seem to make a lot of assumptions about things new to you being less reliable than what you’ve previously had, without providing any evidence to support those assumptions.

So I’m curious what actual reasons / evidence you have for suggesting things like horizontal oil filters and electric radiator fans are less reliable than the other sorts? Both were perfectly reliable for many tens of thousands of miles in prior vehicles I’ve owned, and have been around for at least a couple decades.

What problems have you personally experienced?

 

Recommend the ignore feature.

 

Tell me what current production vehicle comes with a mechanical fan?

 

id say I am. I hit up Marlin Crawler the other day to see if they could get started on developing a RCLT kit for me.

 

TLDR. Nobody got time for this shit

 

Rarely have I seen someone so upset at something they willingly spent money on.

some people just seem to love being mad at things, no matter what they are, I guess

 

jealous, man... Such a sick truck.

Do you worry about that section of exhaust pipe that's right under the front seats? Looks like a low spot that could get smashed.

 

Right on! That photo looks like Moab or something similar? You going for Rubicon this year?

 

I thought Toyota tucked the exhaust up a little higher on 4gen than the 2nd/3rd gens?

 

Maybe so. Im just looking at the picture in that last post i quoted, looks like theres a lower run of exhaust pipe near the center of the truck.

 

The Tacomas on the Rubicon Event? Probably

 

Nah not really. It’s getting some skids and other pieces of armor made by Bay Area Metal fab in the near future.

 

I want to say the new Tundra still does

 

I had a 2024 Tacoma Limited as a loaner and enjoyed driving it for 100+ miles.

I'm not willing to invest is a new truck when I am happy with my current vehicle.

 

Are those guys still in business? Thought they closed up like Mobtown. BAMF doesn't have any 4G parts listed that I could see.

 

Reading some of this make me think of

 

It seems like every day is Friday in this thread.
What will the actual Friday be like?
