    Every manufacturer has issues , that’s what the warranty is for . I know it sucks when/if it happens but once it’s fixed life will be good again .

    I would not think twice about it. Easily repaired related to nothing else on truck, repair enjoy truck.

    Welcome this may be an air in the system issue where it pushed everything into the overflow, overflowing.. it may be a water pump issue, but Toyota doesn't make them, they're 3rd party.... mine exploded at 25k miles, but since it's been solid... must have been made on a Wednesday when every one was in their groove...

    Well they found the issue. The heater core needs to be replaced. Brand new truck only a day old and now i have to wait till late next week (the earliest).

    They really like to kick a guy when he's down. They gave me a shitty c hr. They just chopped off my ballz. Even my mother in law said "oh thats a nice car for a girl" ‍♂️

    That sucks man. I'd be pissed too. The whole reason we buy Toyota is for the reliability and first impressions are important. May this be the only hiccup you have with the truck.

    Hopefully, my Camry had issues too. At 80k miles i had to put in a new trans mission and alternator. 10k miles later i needed 4 wheel bearings.

    Yeah its the heater core. Thats a major ervice job and by taking apart the dash you increase the risk of damage to other parts which in my case is exactly what happened. Long story short a tech was working on it walked away to get something another tech closed the door, door hit an exposed bolt causing a dent and now that needs to get replaced too. FML lol
