What's considered too much coolant consumption? 2021 TRX, 8/8/21 delivery, 35K miles, regular service by dealer, garage queen, pavement princess. Both reservoirs were under low level when Truck was cold.
 
On the radiator I'd look for the leak on the sides of it where the plastic meets the metal. My leak was on the passenger side of the radiator and had to be replaced. Next time it was the heater core in the dash. They had to replace that one too. Luckily I was still under warranty when they went out. Coolant level in the I/C side could be a pump going out or a head gasket. My pump was going out. The low fluid level for I/C light would come on and go off. The pump wasn't that hard to replace. That one was when it was out of warranty so I did it myself.

Hope this helps
 
You didn’t give a timeframe you went from full to below min level.
It could have been at that level since 2021??

Also don’t assume just because you take it to a dealer they check anything…. They failed to top off my coolant, didn’t notice a loose supercharger lid screw, and forgot to bolt back on the skid plates…. These were all different dealers mind you.
