Good example of "why warranty". Obvious defective material and/or poor workmanship ... at least you would think so!

What is even more insane is the "upcharge" some people are paying for it- $25,000 and up on top of MSRP.

Embarrassing. And the guy wasn’t really impressed BEFORE it broke.

Stuff happens. It's too bad a trans cooler line broke and caused the failure. That being said, I thought it was pretty sad to watch a car youtuber with a ton of subs not be able to diagnose the fact that it was leaking trans fluid. He defended his decision to not leave a $100k truck abandoned in the desert, which I understand to an extent. However, he drove it all the way to the dealer while the trans was clearly struggling. Sure, he has a warranty but just why. There was a complete lack of awareness and mechanical sympathy. Kinda sad for someone who presumably makes a living reviewing vehicles.

Not sure how much of a "car youtuber" he can call himself. He didn't even understand shift points

But 100% agree with you, why not just tow it the whole way to be better safe than sorry.

I'm not gonna beat the guy up over his voice or presentation. I just think it's constructive criticism to call out the complete lack of knowledge displayed. He mistook a transmission spraying fluid for a broken axle or coolant. Even considering a broken axle as the culprit is very sad.

I guess I should be thankful that some young people are still enthusiastic about cars. I'm one of them but I'm an oddball that actually cares about mechanics and not electronics.

The TRX seems cool and it can't be too bad of a thing that manufacturers are making these types of vehicles. It's just that these systems are becoming more and more complex and require more cooling. If this becomes more common with these vehicles, it reminds me of the Ford GT350 that was losing an oil line and catching on fire. It's certainly not excusable for a new car but again, stuff happens. These kinds of things also make me reluctant to spend a ton of money on these new, complex, feature laden vehicles. When they're older and rely on additional coolers, turbos, extra electronics, how expensive does that become to maintain? I'm sure most on this forum understand and appreciate Toyota's general tardiness in adopting these features as a bonus. They want to keep their reliability mantra and don't use their customers as testers (as much).
