Grill Aerodynamics

On my 2016 AC OR 4x4, when I changed the front grill to the SR I've noticed less wind resistance at cruising speeds. I was wondering what everyone else's experiences have been and input on changing to the Pro grill.

 

We're talking the aerodynamics of a brick here...

In what manner did you notice less "wind resistance"?

 

Good lord

 

how did you find the lower resistance? Did you put it in a wind tunnel?
Is it as aerodynamic as a F1 car now?

Its a truck, seriously lol.

 

oh my. oh my. Oh MY.


Pleeeeeeease be good...

 

Please provide the statistical regression test and the raw data from wind tunnel testing or GTFO.

 

GTFO? It's his thread....lol.

 

I want my regression test. We've kicked enough people out of their own threads to be able to list it on our resumes.

 

Nope, it seems common enough on all models

 

I are not an idiot (usually). Again, I refer to statistics. Everyone falls on some point of the bell curve. It does seem that a lot of threads in the third gen forum fall to the far, far left on the curve.

 

theres a lot of people switching over to their first trucks or even first toyotas with this new gen so I think that should be expected

 

Yep... Bell curves assume a normal distribution where mean = median.

Meanwhile, in the real world things are often different and the mean and median may be far apart

 

I don't know that I buy that explanation... Is there any real change in how many people switch to / buy their first trucks on a year by year basis? Is there something about 3rd gen that makes it more attractive to non-truck owners than the 2nd gen had been?

 

Sweet, Ferrari areos next.

 

no but this is a totally different styling and I've read more than enough threads about people who just got their first toyota etc as well as the fact that I know a couple friends also considering the 2016 for their first truck. Idk was just my opinion, doesn't really matter.

 

I can't speak to air resistance, but I've heard swapping in a Pro Grille leads to better erections.

 

I put a mesh grille in my 1970 Chevy bread van, and I noticed an improvement immediately!

 

How tha fuck do threads like this keep happening? Holy shit fucking third gens
