Heard of assumption of risk? This will be the defense that toyota will probablly use. They'll say you assumed the risk of damaging your truck when you took it off the pavement. Funny how the owner's manual talks about driving in several conditions such as snow, rain and even in some "offroad". But they never mention mud. But, good luck.
It really sucks that your dealer won't take care of you. To me, and I've said this before, I would rather pay more from a dealer that I know has great customer service than buy something for even a few thousand dollars less from a dealer that I don't know what they might do or how they might take care of me. Anyways, your dealer sucks! The dealer sometimes is that fine line on whether you get a warranty coverage or not.
cncman,
I've had my Crew Cab off in some pretty thick stuff and haven't had any problems. But mine isn't raised either, what an idiot for using a body lift anyways...that is the most ignorant way to lift a truck it, looks stupid and it throws off all the alignments of everything too. Just wait they'll come out with a suspension kit eventually.

Amora, what the *heck* are you talking about?
The Extreme has 190hp and 250ft/lbs of torque, and will pound your little Toyota into the ground... And Ford is going to release an Adrenalin that will absolutely stomp your preciouse Tinoda this spring! LOL! Nice try though...
Thats funny, I have had my Ranger splashing in mud and have never, ever had mud around my alternator! Could it be...? The Toyota gods altar is crumbling!!

designed by an American gen-Xer at the infamous Art Center in
Pasadena, Then again are not all Toyota car/truck body shapes and
looks designed by the Homies???
surely spank the Tacoma-S, etc
already...
actual performance is main factor. i take performance figures from
Motor Trend, Truck Trend, Hot Rod mag with a grain of salt, out at
the Ontario street races is where you will find the humbled Toyota TRD offerings...
applied, then you can calulate your losses properly. Been there, done that...attended hundreds of drag races in '60s and saw first hand the
application of power and how to achieve maximum power potential to the
road.....regardless of vehicle make...saw many a small block Chevy
with half the horsepower of your big blocks clean up the strip...
So beware,Madhat, that you don't fall prey to this argument.
For the record, I own a Toyota Truck. I am an American. I served my country for four years. I seriously doubt you've done anything more than harass import car and truck buyers on the internet or attempt to steal candy from unsuspecting kids.
And the F-150 Lightning is an F-150 with a supercharger. Go buy a flareside 2wd F-150 with the 5.4L v-8, install the charger yourself for two grand, and save yourself several thousands. Of course, anyone who does their homework would know this.
People who attach their patriotism and self-worth to their vehicles have to be some of the most insecure and unpatriotic people in the world. It's simple overcompensation. You feel insecure about your decisions and you mask them by slurring real Americans and acting overly aggressive and hostile toward those who make different decisions from your own.
By the way, who do think your Lightning dollars go to? Last time I checked, Ford had purchased Land Rover, Aston Martin, Jaguar, and owns more than a 40% share of Mazda (that's a Japanese car company; they make the B-series pickups--you know, the twins to the Rangers).
Yea, and how is Japan's economy doing? oh, that's right, it's in the toilet. Obviously, years of americans buying japanese cars hasn't exactly sunk the US economy.
