Need advice: Intermittent metallic rattle after cold start

QuietRoadieCommunity StarterSep 4, 20262023 Toyota 4Runner TRD ProNew Jersey
For the first few seconds after a cold start I hear a metallic rattle, then it disappears and won't come back once the engine is warm. No warning lights and it drives normally. Has anyone chased somethign like this without just replacing random parts? I'm in New Jersey. If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

The trap is a pretty payment hiding a worse car price. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2023 Toyota 4Runner and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. Then the comparison gets honest. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. I'll update if anything new shows up.
