I bought a ZeroG hose and returned it the next day. The hose had a strong chemical smell I wasn't comfortable about. I bought a white RV coil hose off Amazon which will arrive next week.

Where did you get that info? Tacoma had a spring recall for spring breakage but Tundra has been flawless. Never seen a broken or rusted out spring on a Tundra. I work as a Toyota tech.
