How many of you actually remove the air dam from the front bumper?

Took mine off immediately. No MPG hit to speak of or wine noise. Looks way better.

 

I removed the one on our 2017 entirely and cut the one on my 2021 because it looks a little cleaner to me having it covering up some of the underside.

 

Mines still on since day one. Only time it's been removed is during oil change process.

I'll try and squeeze M.P.G.'s as able. Not Prius territory, but at least maintain in the 20's.

 

Took mine off when I installed the TRD Pro skid plate. And gave the air dam to the guy who bought the oem wheels and tires when I bought a set of TRD Pro wheels.

 

Had mine off for 2 weeks and noticed increase in wind noise so I put it back on. Toyota engineers put it on the truck for a reason.

 

Took mine off when I installed my TRD Skid.

 

I can tell you when i pulled that chin spoiler off this spring, it was packed with sand, and salt brine stains between the spoiler, and the rest of the truck. I ended up taking a garden hose to it which created another issue knocking off those mounting bolt metal fasteners the spoiler bolts secure into. I could see them rusting out in a few years, if living in the rust belt, and this spoiler coming loose. I sprayed them down with some cosmoline, and put them back in place when i put the spoiler back.

 

I took mine off. In my opinion it looks ridiculous and I didn’t notice any change in MPGs after I removed it.

 

I took mine off because it's a truck, not a sports car. IMHO, the only time it would help is high speed driving.

 

Has to come off when you put on push plates for the plow and forward trailer hitch. But mine is a work truck even though it's a Sport.

 

Literally the first thing I did, haven’t noticed a difference in anything other than it doesn’t look dumb anymore

 

The trail removed it for me, along with half of my bumper.

 

Answers the questions I was going to ask. Thanks.

 

I was gonna ask about that wind noise, thanks mine stays on.

 

Do all trucks come with that? Don’t recall having one on my truck.

 

I have been back and forth on this. I prefer the look off. Took it off shortly after buying my truck but put it back on to see if I could improve my mileage. Didn’t make a difference for me. Biggest difference in mileage for me is warmer weather and after my first oil change I noticed a big improvement in fuel economy.

 

Off roads don’t have them or TRD pro.

 

I think it is only the 3 Generation cause my 2nd did not have one.

 

Removed it and didn’t notice any difference in fuel efficiency.

 

That was very interesting. I never knew that a lot of the body styling, even down to minute details, isn't there because 'It looks good'.. But rather is designed to actually do something.
