    I just bought a new 2018 Toyota Tundra with the 5.7L engine. I traded in my 15 year old Toyota Tacoma and I hope to have at least 15 years with this new Tundra.

    I do have one question to ask and it is with this hose outlined in red in the picture below. What is this hose for and is there any coverings to protect it? It just looks like it would be easily punctured if a rock or other debris would hit it.

    Please let me know what it is and any recommendations on how to protect it.
