Can I have my 30 mins back?
I asked them about the overheating. No response yet. Not common from everything I’ve seen. I’ve done far more towing my turtle back and the needle has never moved.
lol. I wish I had the time to watch 30 mins of something I didn't enjoy
The stop button is right down by the play button.
Who and where did you ask? Your always welcome to ask me.
Heating up while towing (without much air movement) is in fact common. It was a 100± day, heavy load, steep climb and naturally AC cranked. It never got dangerously warm, just enough to move the needle and warrant a peek under the hood as we had a few miles yet to climb. Once we got moving it cooled right down.
Not relevant in that we didn't have a 200 TRD Pro or 300 Series with us. Relevant in that we had a few weeks to chit chat with our friends at Toyota that do have relevant info. These conversations are best around a campfire. Then and now
I asked on the YouTube video page. I had no clue to ask you. Is this Jeff from the series?
Kurt, Jeff didn't join us on that trip.
Unfortunately there simply isn't enough bandwidth to reply to all of the YouTube and social media comments and replies. It's got quite a bit of traffic these days and probably could be a full-time job for somebody in the future .
No worries. I wasn’t in a rush for a response. It was just the first time I’d heard of one warming up, let alone overheating, and was looking for information.
Glad to know who I’m talking to now...

Fwiw it only warmed up... no overheating. Rachelle and Niki are the exact drivers you want behind the wheel. Attentive. Rather than wait until things were boiling over, they brought up the fact it had moved. I Sub Zero control over the production side of the show, so I can't make any comment on why they even chose to include that. They film approx 7-10 days for every 25 minute episode.
Fwiw Monica (Canguro 200) gets warm (think 265*
) when things get rough. Usually result of mega silt, fan clutch full of silt, radiator full of silt and powering through a long silt bed. The fact this motor is as tight as it is after that kind of abuse is a pure testament to the 3UR. Doing a post race tear down on it tonight.

Do you guys ever use an ELM327 OBD2 reader to pull the sensor data while driving? I'm curious what the temp is when the needle starts to move, and also kinda curious what the A/T pan and torque converter temps are when you're crawling up a trail with the trailer in tow.
My rig normally sits at 196F (coolant temp) according to the port. I've seen it hit 200-201F on steep mountain passes or when running in 3rd gear up slight grades in 95F+ Texas heat with my trailer (6000#), but the needle doesn't appear to move. Curiously if I'm in heavy stop-and-crawl traffic it's never seemed to have an impact. I haven't used it on a trail though I'm curious to do so now. Granted I'm not pulling a trailer while in 4Lo like you guys are.
I'm assuming the analog temp gauge is calibrated to stay just below the half way point until the temp starts to climb quite a bit, but I don't know at what point the needle will actually start to move.
In the XO rig, no OBD2 hooked up. In my personal 200 and the Canguro 200, Scanguage. That 265* was from the Scanguage. I've never had the needle move over normal in my 200, but I rarely pull a trailer and don't find myself in silt beds
Almost just looks like they morphed the current LC with a Merc GLK in photoshop
That would be the biggest windshield ever
Dig this last rendering, bring back the boxy/utilitian design!
Renderings aside, my $ is on the grill looking more like a 4Runner. With the 60/80/100, the design of the LC was new and the 4Runner copied much of the design when it was refreshed a few years later. But the 200 copied more of the 4Runner styling than vice-versa. With the more recent 4Runner facelift and the fact that we heard "a boxier, more militaristic" look from Dave at Toyota in Breckenridge, I suspect we'll see more 4Runner styling in the 300.

I’ll believe it when I see a photo, not a rendering.
