Let's say it's like the WebMD for enthusiastic truck owners...
And the expert and confirmation biases are strong.

But folks Are saying this on mud too... the GX radiators have a design flaw and tend to seep coolant at the corners. The denso replacement has a slightly different design to relieve pressure there. My understanding is that from the factory its a different radiator than on the other 2uz toyotas or in any case is prone to failure.
And its not just the 120 series... it looks like the 200 has this issue as well.
2008-2018 Radiator Failure and Public Service Announcement
Edited by Moderator to change date range in title Curious who else has had a failure of their radiator on their 200 of the 08-10 model years by a crack on the top next to the molded in platform. I got lucky and found mine before it was catastrophic. I notified @TexAZ because I know his truck...

The GX radiators are definitely leak prone. We don't see many GX's but I think I've done leaking radiators on all of them.

Hmm is that a different rad than on the LX? Same engine, right, the 4.7 V8?

Yup 200s tend to go anywhere between 120-150k, at least the old radiator numbers did. Get a fracture line crack at the top to let you know its starting to go.

I know of a nice set of wheels on a wrecked 40th that could be used to "calibrate" those machines.

I lust after the non-flaking chrome mirrors on the gray 62
