I just ordered it from my local Dealership. Even though you can purchase them cheaper from other parts of the Country, the shipping negates the savings so I actually was able to purchase it cheaper from where I live.
No rubbing and I am running a stock suspension.
I am content with the Tire/Wheel combo that it has currently. If you were to imagine a Harley morphing into a Truck, the wheel/tire combo on my truck fits IMHO.
And to think that I doubted you. 🤔
If my calculations are correct, at this rate, you should be at 44.6 by the end of December.
Keep us posted sir. You and your air dam are proving the "haters" wrong with these screen shots.
So when you say, "I only care" all I am hearing is that you don't give a "dam".......................... :crackup:
I just couldn't resist the pun.:)
In any case, like I have said before as long as you are happy that is all that counts.
After all, you are the one that puts the gas in the...
I completely agree. The irony is that to achieve this kind of mileage, you’d need to slow down—and at lower speeds the air dam’s effect is pretty much negated anyway.
You see a nice looking Tacoma and I see a Tacoma with Buck Teeth. To each their own. That Tacoma would look amazing if it had it's "teeth" fixed though. :wink:
Well it appears that I won't be eating Crow? (y)
And when you factor in driving around Town, the mileage I am sure would be almost identical. The spoiler a.k.a. air dam is really only useful at highway speeds and with that, no better than 1 mpg on most drives I'm sure.
That is exactly why I...
I removed my chin spoiler since 99% of my driving is in-town, rarely going over 40 mph.
With that said, if we ran a true MPG test in residential driving and bumper-to-bumper traffic, I’d put money on the table for the results.
An air dam definitely helps at highway speeds (just like the roof...
I’m not against chin spoilers. I’m only noting that the MPG results shared may include other variables. While I personally don’t love the look on a Tacoma, I agree they likely improve fuel economy.
If anyone has apples-to-apples before/after numbers (same route, conditions, fuel, speed)...
The only way to be absolutely sure of what difference the chin spoiler makes is by removing it and reinstalling it under identical conditions—same weight, route, driving style, and even the same time of day. There are simply too many variables that can influence fuel economy.
In general, the...
Well that is ironic. I would guess many of the "old farts" back in the 70's didn't much like the sound back then either but yet you were okay with it as a much younger man?
My, how History tends to repeat itself.................... :wink:
Btw, I am in that "Boomer" Camp as well. I have...
Yes, you are correct.
That in no way proves your point.
Investments are often "overlooked" or dismissed and many don't see it coming. (if they did, they would have invested in it at the time)
I am not saying these teal trucks are going to be worth more down the road, but they might?
I...
It's like you're quoting someone straight out of the late '60s! 😄
Those Mopars in the "odd" colors were produced in much smaller numbers compared to the more common models that were built by the millions—yet today, they fetch a serious premium.
If people had known that back then, they...
I'm not a big fan of this "teal" color either—but to be fair, I'm not particularly fond of some of the other color options Toyota offers for the Tacoma.
That said, I do appreciate Toyota stepping away from the same tired palette that many automakers recycle over and over again.
Think back to...
From this video, it shows that you are gaining less than 1 mpg (0.8 to be exact).
If you drove 12,000 miles per year and and averaged 22.2 mpg you would use 540 gallons of gas.
If you averaged 23 mpg, you would use 521 gallons of gas.
The average price of gas is $3.16. You would save $60...
