I have a 2023 and cold started exact same temp -31 today and sounded exactly like that plugged in for 6 hours. Seems like its normal had me wondering lol
Hello there, could I use a part of your video for my cold-starting compilation? of course I put a link to your original video in the description, increasing the original’s popularity too. Thank you for answer in advance :)
sorry for the late reply, there is a clutch cut out switch on the dashboard, I would recommend using that and not using the clutch at all on really cold days, if you do use it, I would leave your foot pressed down for about 10 seconds and the slowly lift it off.
I'm moving from Cali to north dakota for school and driving my 6spd 3rd gen taco, do I need to change any of the fluids for cold weather or does the recommened fluids for example oil from toyota still work in these cold temps?
Sorry for the late reply Presley, welcome to the north!! I would stick to the manufactures specs when it comes to fluids, most modern oils have advanced and from California to North Dakota won't be much of a difference to change viscosities, unless of course Toyota recommends it, I would first consult the owner's manual for cold weather operation first, then a dealer!
I like your calmness and light clothing at -31C.. I would look like an inuit or esquimo at those temps....jaja.
ahaha lots of practice and being born here, def helps! Thanks for watching!
My 2022 tacoma starts and sounds like that plugged in all night
With the modern oils and good fuel/engine management most new motors are pretty good in the extreme cold!

I agree 15 minutes will allow the clutch fluid (hydraulic fluid) to warm up and the clutch feels much better.
Thanks for watching and yes, a few minutes to warm things up will greatly improve their performance!
Brrr I feel your poor truck's pain!
Thanks, Josh! Yeah, Twist gets really testy in those temps!
Guess the automatic wins for this reason. It has a heater.
Use the clutch cancel switch and you don’t need to use the clutch to start. I’ve blown slave cylinders in Colorado at -25.
yes, I was going to mention that, I will in my next video for sure! Thanks for the info as I should have included it!
I wonder if you shift more often it’ll keep the fluid warmer
interesting take, I think it would make a small difference, but one you may not notice!
Beautiful truck man. I wish my 08 tacoma 5spd started like that at negative 30 haha
Thanks! sorry for the late reply!! I no longer have it, but do miss it from time to time!

yes of course, go ahead and help yourself
on days like these do you leave the clutch in when you start? How long should you leave it in before lifting your food off? A few seconds or so?

What kind of block heater do you have and who installed it? Thank you!
This Truck was equipped with a factory block heater that came with its own custom cord and built-in plug-in the bumper!
@@corradettimotorsports360 thank you!
