    I found this part on my driveway. Just wondering if it is from my 2024 Hybrid Tundra? I don't recognize it and I haven't noticed anything wrong with the truck. Due to the orange color, I thought it might be something to do with the high voltage system. Does anyone know what it is? It is about 2 inches in diameter.

    Doesn't look like a truck part. My guess is it's part of a children's toy that got thrown on your driveway.

    That's definitely part of your Tundra, in fact stop driving it, because if that's not connected properly the whole truck can and will explode. I know a guy that knows a guy who's married to a guy that had that part fall out. And BOOM, died of a heart attack, brought on by the exploding truck that decapitated him.

    Finally, a knowledgeable post with fourth-hand information. This guy knows the dangers of an uncapped blink fluid reservoir. :popcorn:

    Does kinda looks like it came off a toy though as @lapoolboy indicated with that smooth finish.

    I thought it might have been part of the battery velocitator.
