Hey I was curious how you got that grill? Thanks

Got gas today. Best tank yet. I'm quite proud of my mpg.

 

I filled up this morning 15.6mpg on my last tank.

 

I'm avg 16 to 17mpg stock wheels and tires base model.

 

Gas prices here this morning: $1.49/gal.

My MPG hasn't improved, but my MP$ did!

 

I still get around 18 to 19 mpg with aftermarket wheels. I do a lot of highway driving.

 

Mine is mostly going to work 15 miles one way.

 

Had the Toyota OEM tri-fold cover (available in Canada) installed yesterday. It's a rebadged Extang Encore with some modifications to meet Toyota safety specs (the front panel can't be opened from the outside and the wire to open it is not continuous, so you really had to grab the 2 ends and pull them to unlatch the front panel, so it can't be snagged accidentally by pushing a lumber into the bed and, thus, won't fly while driving on the interstate. For the same reason, there's also 2 safety cables near the front hinge that connect the cover to the rails).

I like how it sit flush. Can't comment for now on the watertightness (it's a bit chilly up here!)...

Was the same price than similar competitors (BakFlip, SolidFold, etc.) at approx. $1200CDN (that must be like $800USD!!!), but what sold me was the fact that, being labelled as a Toyota genuine accessory, it's backed with the 3yrs warranty so if anything happened, I'll simply bring it to the dealer...

 

363 days of ownership today.

 

I used to get 19.1 MPGs.

Now I'm getting 16.8 MPGs.

What Changed? Winter.

 

Possibly winter fuel blends, they don't seem to improve our mileage!

 

I get better mileage in winter because I'm not running A/C.

 

Stock?

That's right around what I get

Heavy foot?

Same, all back roads

 

Like others have said, It is an oem TRD Pro grill. The cheapest I've found was camelback Toyota for 390.

 

@Oregon TRD hey I've got to give credit where credit is do and your the one who gave me the idea after I read your write up on it, so thank you Sir

 

Yeah pretty much other than Magnaflow muffler with Vibrant resonator. Goal is 22mpg before getting bigger tires. Lol
