What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I already had the garage door opener button. I bought this thing primarily so I can move the garage door button up and make room for an LED light bar button.

 

Just turned 20k on my 19 TRD crew

 

‘Not to mention they should hold up well to the PA 6 month salt baths..

 

Round trip road trip to Portland for early morning OTT from PNW Tuning, much thanks to Paul!

 

Maybe a piece of inner tube on the fasteners would dampen the rattle if it doesn’t covey a lot of heat?

 

That’s what I used on my tailgate to complement the bed liner. My tailgates see more abuse than any bed ever sees.. fits in using the upper tailgate screws, just pay attention to where the upper panel seem is when cutting the mat..

 

Leer 100XR. Yakima Skyline towers. Yakima double haul. Made my sons day and mine if I’m being honest!

 

I did this also for our little trip last year towing a 5klb TT 8,000 miles, on this trip I averaged over 11mpg towing. Most recent trip towing from Spokane, WA to Bend OR 12.4 mpg.

When not towing and driving for an hour or more I consistently get 24mpg out of town, recent trip Bend, OR to Reno, NV and back again got over 24mpg both ways. Until we settle I'll keep it on.

 

Nice, yeah we have a trip coming this summer from MN to SD and I will be pulling a 1650bh camper (similar to yours but single axle). Hoping to keep it above 10mpg for most of the trip.

But it makes sense that the part would help on the highways, especially on lifted trucks where we have a larger amount of tire exposed to the front wind.

I had a old BMW long ago, I got the euro mirror delete plates, I gained 3 mpg by just removing my mirrors. I can only imagine what a giant tire does for wind resistance.
Yes its legal to remove your side mirrors in my state. Law says you need to have at least 1 mirror with a unobstructed view of behind you.

 

Lol

 

Yeah it’s 3M double sided tape. Oh well If it comes off then I’ll just get some Velcro

 

Biggest thing with mpg and towing is to get into 5th, I spent a lot of time at 63mph in 5th.

Are you able to keep an eye on temps and torque converter lock up status?

I highly recommend OBD fusion.

 

I have a android headunit that can track all those things with a bluetooth obd plug, so I should be good.

I did a little test this evening taking my daughter to tutoring. A stretch of road I normally get 16-17mpg on I was getting 21mpg according to the computer. Will be interesting to run a few tanks through as I have the last 20k miles logged with mpg and fill ups.

 

NIce, what HU?

You may have been extra cautious with the throttle, I do believe the dam helps +1mpg though, I do have a tonneau cover too.

 

I have been running a joying toyota corolla headunit for the past few years. It was made before joying found out that they worked in tacomas too, so its a little hacky, but it works well.

I just got a tonneau cover last month, before that I had a soft topper and that thing sucked my gas tank dry. The gap between the top of the cab and the top of the topper was like 6 inches so it acted like a giant sail on the highway. I had to nearly go full throttle just to maintain 75 in the winter.

 

This company makes a great center console cover. I have one from them since I got my truck.
