The sick-feeling in the Tacoma driver's stomach was pouring out his eyes. A man knowing he's in for a large repair bills.

man is in for a new engine, oof

[@brandonmows]

He’s had the truck at the local dealership for a few weeks now

[@smiththers2]

ive had that sick in my gut feeling before too... a few too many times with my old jeep. seemed every time i took it off road i would break something... thats when i figured out it was cheaper to have a dirtbike or four wheeler lol

[@rovers141]

Yeah I could see the pain in his eyes too. That recovery bill probably isn't cheap either. Obviously way way less then the repairs, but still a good chunk of change.

[@DerekOfRivia]

Having a truck like that, and how well he was dressed for a cruise in the desert. He'll be fine. Probably a minor setback

[@kenm6948]

Matt, you have a heart of gold. I don’t know if I could have been so calm after driving 240 miles and discovering my “client” had driven off without notifying me that they’d gotten out of the mud on their own. As many others commented, I hope you got a deposit from them before heading out. God bless you!

I just hope they get stuck again somewhere and everyone refuses to come out to help because they have earned a bad reputation. Honour is everything in this world.

[@Joncka]

The possibility, of course, is that they did not have a signal anymore, or were out of juice in their phone(s). If they could have called Matt, but didn't, I completely agree with you.

[@ericnoney3770]

I've done a lot of work up around the Chinle area....cell signal is poor to non-existent in most of that area outside of the town or a few miles one way or the other of the highway, and often it's not even that great in the town. Depending on the timeline between them getting out and Matt arriving, it's entirely likely that one or both spent most of that time outside of cell range.

[@livingadamman7994]

@@ericnoney3770 Cell service is not the point courtesy is the point, honour, care and respect. If they didn't have cell service there it's likely they could drive to top of hill and send a 1 minute text message when they got out. It looked like they cut and ran and didn't give two hoots about their rescuer. They need to pay for the call out regardless. I would get a $300 call out fee or whatever 2x 5hrs labour plus road miles after hours is worth, paid in advance just in case this happens, if they don't like that I'd say OK get yourself out then.

[@DannyDifalco]

Depending on the angle he was trying to climb that tacoma. He might have starved it of oil. Apparently on some of the new D4S V6's in these third gens dont have an oil return in the back. So if the approach angle is too extreme it pools in the back top of the motor. There's some talk of this on some tacoma forums.

[@imoffendedthatyouareoffended]

Reminds me of all the people seizing up their Subaru motors doing donuts lmao. Flat motors need oil sumps or something, to keep oil on both sides of the motor otherwise donuts will cause the oil to pool on one side of the motor, starving the opposite side of oil.

Huge flaw for a truck that’s supposed to conquer rough terrain. Get a 4runner or wrangler instead. You can KZbin it or google it. There’s videos on it happening.

[@november662]

Just discovered your channel and I am watching it and truly satisfied after every rescue

[@SimplyMenacing19]

These trucks have an issue with steep angle inclines where the sump can run dry as there are no/insufficient baffles in the oil pan and will cause oil starvation issues along with oil to be sucked into the intake and burned causing smoke out the rear. The smoke and the "low oil" indicator are signs you should rethink whatever you're trying in this truck. Some have tried to modify the pickup to be lower and/or added baffles but factory this truck is not great with being on really steep inclines for long periods of time.

[@bryonlippert5530]

Thank you Dennis for that tidbit of information being that I'm a guy with a Tacoma that wants to go up steep inclines.

[@williamhall2386]

I have seen this personally several times. Its the 2016+

[@jonathanjuillerat9831]

This is why the Nissans two pan system was both great and garbage. Great that it was nearly impossible to starve the engine of oil as the pickup tube almost touched the bottom of the lower pan. Garbage in the fact that it is nearly impossible to get the steel lower pan to the aluminum upper..

[@JoeJ-8282]

Agreed. And it's a very unfortunate design flaw in that new generation of Tacomas. I remember watching more than one video here on KZbin, including one where I think it was either the "TFL Truck" KZbin channel or the "Sarah-n-Tuned" channel, (maybe both), where they were testing one of those new Tacos in totally stock form on a trail, and the "Low Oil Pressure" warning light kept coming on every time they would try to climb a hill, even though on totally level ground the oil dipstick was saying that the engine was full of oil, at least at the "proper" full level... So it's really a rather bad design in those new engines' oil sump if it does not allow for the oil pump to pump enough oil through the engine when the truck is on a steep hill, because MANY people use those trucks for off-roading, including even rock crawling, especially when they're lifted and/or slightly "off road modded", as many of them are!... Toyota REALLY needs to redesign that engine's oil sump and/or pump in order to better handle climbing while on an incline!... And I've additionally heard and read that it's not just that, but it's also a bad design where the oil "pools up" at the rear of the engine when on a steep incline, and sometimes in more extreme cases, (like most likely with the truck in this video), the oil then flows into the rear engine cylinder through the intake valves and floods that cylinder with oil, causing a major pressure buildup and therefore severe engine crankcase and/or rod damage... as what it sounded like on the truck here when Matt tried to crank it... I really feel sorry for the owner of that very nice looking truck, but it will definitely be a learning experience for him as to what NOT to attempt while off roading in the future!

[@lewlewis6511]

On the 120 series Prado (presumably the 150 series is the same, don't know about other Toyotas) with the 3 litre Diesel engine, the sump is a two level affair, there's a small lower sump where the oil pick up sits, unless you turned the truck on its side or upside down any oil at all in the engine will be in that lower sump so feeding the engine continually. I had a Hilux with the same engine and that had a different (normal sump), which wouldn't have been so fail safe for extreme angles. When Matt checked the engine oil on the Tacoma it was low, only just above the minimum mark. Feel sorry for the owner but the oil should be right up to the max for going such places.

[@1tojo]

Matt I subscribed to your channel because I like your demeanor never loosing your temper and kicking the sand. As a retired welder I have built several trailers for customers and you built exactly the right one for your service. Keep up the good videos and I'll keep watching

Ouch! I can feel for the poor guy in the Tacoma. I have had an engine go belly up out on a country road back in the late 70's. A month and $3000.00 dollars later I had my car back running. Great recovery MORR team. 🥰🥰🥰 Ed 🥰🥰🥰 Stay Happy 😂 Safe and Healthy Everyone 💞

[@larrybe2900]

Thoroughly impressed, I can truly love the off road rescue life vicariously through you as I live my nomadic overland lifestyle. Much love team! I really feel a part of it in some magical way. Thank you 🙏

[@something2sea]

You're not the only one. As someone who works in IT, there's a certain respect (almost jealousy) I've got for those like the MORR team who do honest work in the “real world.”

[@joeblow9850]

That’s amazing!! Toyota Tacomas are ABSALUTLEY indestructible and for you to blow an engine you really REALLY gotta screw something up, guessing he was horrible at changing oil or just didn’t have enough in it OR used the Autozone house brand oil.. I also have a Tacoma that I love so I hate to see a downed Taco!! Guy definitely needs to put a lot more effort into maintenance

[@sandydavis9362]

Matt you are the best, for someone to drive 240 miles for nothing, you was calm about it. At least the customer should had called you and let you know.

Sorry you got skunked. I know it happens and you have great attitudes about it but people should at least call back and let you know. If it were me, I would and I would even pay for a good part of the service because you still did a lot of travel to work. I was raised will like I can tell you guys are. Keep up the good work.

Knowing how much a normal tow truck costs, I cannot even manage the expense for some of these difficult off road recoveries.

[@rsetha01]

I sank my tacoma in a mudhole in the middle of a difficult off-road park in Kentucky, I was fucking blessed that there was a local mechanic that got a tractor to pull it out, rebuild my starter, put a new radiator and pump, all for $1800. Almost blew my engine when I sank it, 4hrs away from home, looked up initial prices...almost cried. Called 6 towing companies that all refused to pull me out. I really thought my new truck was going to be a total loss. This guy lived next door to the park and came by to help, he wasn't an official employee of the park, I am so thankful to meet him. It could've easily cost me more than 5 to 10k for someone else to do it.

[@Shilohii65]

One of your more challenging rescues yet Matt. Hey Eric……good to see you again. Filming, editing, content, and personnel on camera is a bit different. Hope the change keeps up, but keep the same crew, they’re priceless and too valuable.

[@corporatehippy]

Really impressive towing. That rig is a beast! Not sure I'd feel as comfortable as the customer seemed standing so close to the tow line when under load.

[@JamieTransNyc]

That was making me shudder also.
