Thought I added this yesterday, but it never went through.
Comparing numbers, the only difference between red and pink:
Red has Organic acid salt
Pink has Sebacic acid.
All other numbers are the same but some with different names.
In NJ: Glen Toyota
$33/gal red
$28/gal pink

Red you have to add 50/50 water, Pink is premix. There was a really great thread on coolants floating around here somewhere. Actually, there's several. Maybe search 'HOAT'.
The dealership near me doesn't carry the red any more and is selling the pink for what the red used to cost. I don't want pink in my old truck so I'm giving Subaru Long Life a try. Waiting patiently to see how it works out. I understand there's also aftermarket versions of the yota coolant. Stuff like Zerex Asian? I have no idea what the pricing is on it or which technology it mimics, red or pink.

Just never saw pics of them both. Been floating around on other sites that I do not feel like joining and just happened to be doing some work on the 4Runner so came here as someone may now be able to make a choice based on the solutions used.
I use red in a Camry, Sienna, and 4Runner and Pink in my Taco.
Those damn Tacomas and their oil in coolant though... myself and others i work with all have it, and dealers just throw parts at it. Mine had 130k on it so IDGAF much about the oil in coolant issue and just do premature PM on everything when possible.
