2017 EL and my fans sound so much louder than other Expys I see and listen to. Coolant level is great and engine or tranny temp don’t really change significantly even when sitting. I added 5 star tune and cold air intake.

My are really loud. I think it is just a poor design. I've had to shut down the engine at a drive through.

You got the HD tow?

Mine are very loud, turning on is especially frequent when running rear AC.
This is what happens when it’s super hot out and the engine is trying to cool itself down quickly. It’s normal unless you have the HD tow package with larger radiator

My wife’s is a limited normal length and mine is a EL with HD tow. I have 5 star tune, CAI, and 170 tstat and mine is quiet as a whistle. Even before the tune and tstat it would only seldom turn on at high last on super hot days but Thts bc I have had tow package

I have a 2017 Limited EL w/ HD Tow. The fans sounds like a jet engine when idling in high temps. Houston has high humidity, so it takes a lot of work to cool the interior with all the moisture.

Got my '15 XLT in March in Florida coming from a '16 Tundra.

Once I hit the summer months I noticed the fan started going into "jet take off" mode. I can hear the thing idling when I remote start it from a good 50+ yards away. It's insanely loud. I mentioned it to my Service advisor when I had it in for Service and she said it was normal.

I had a 17 EL and the fan was super loud. I now have a 14 Limited and the fan sounds the exact same. That leads me to believe it’s normal
