Not here to start drama, how much of this is the way you drive though? I drive pretty conservatively (some would say grandpa like) and get good MPG out of my truck.

Have any TH owners chimed in that drive 68 on freeways, and don't speed around town?

I can lightly tap my TRD off-road with 33” wheels in the attached photos all day and get 22 mpg according to the computer… but who the f$ck wants to drive a truck like that? If you do then you guys bought the wrong vehicle (my opinion of course ). Toyota also sells a Prius!

if you do any work with your hands and actually did something useful in the past 10 years…it unbolts in less than 5 minutes.

But yea if you’re an old fart and you prefer to leave the rock sliders on for those Costco hauls & donut runs, you bet doing any work is a major hurdle, and you should keep your ass at home and continue offering lame advice.

That’s cool you drove a gnarly trail ‘that one time’ and have your rock sliders still on to prove it.

Actually I have done a couple things sir. I built a really functional offgrid trailer in top of a 2004 Penman Iraqi war utility trailer with welding and custom made kitchen etc and prior I rebuilt a 73 Dodge Challenger restomod right from bare body. And before that a while ago I built an RV6 kitplane and flew across Canada in it cruising at 185kts and around 14000ft. Was just saying about your spoiler as up in the Rockies foothills here raw offroading we see about 50 or so chin spoilers on the ground at most times due to the terrain being knarly. Some advice I have is slow down if you want to stretch your mileage out as most posters here get reasonably good mileage from their rigs and you are hybrid. And with turbo vehicles (and the electric system) you need to use the torque more than rpm to get the job done.

Back in my day we dealt with wisenheimers using only two ingredients, a bar of Fels-Naptha and a choice leather strap. He needs to take the cotton out of his ears and put it in his fresh mouth. A wise man once said, “It’s better to remain quiet and be thought a bunyak than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”.

Idk man trucks are heavy, they can do a lot of damage if you get into an accident. I drive the thing pretty chill on the street.

That's what the weekend car is for
