No skirt?

My local dealership just got their first 16. I swung by for a quick look, I want to sit in one with a sunroof but it was a trd or with no tech package.

They had it parked right next to a 15 off road too. As I was leaving I noticed that the 16 didn't have the front skirt on it. I may swing back by to take a pic of it...

As it's been stated in other threads, I've noticed with the online tool builder the changes in mpg for the off road depending on location. At work, my location defaults to our corporate headquarters in slc, and I'm in Conn.

 

I believe the offroad comes without a skirt but the sports and limiteds ect do

 

Here for the "no skirt" pics

Wait.... I don't think we're talking about the same thing. Carry on....

 

Trd or is the only model that doesnt have the front air dam iirc.

 

Looking at it again, I think your right. On the online builder it doesn't show the skirt on the off road. I hadn't noticed that anywhere before...


But here is the diff between slc and me

 

Elevation?

 

Maybe... But that's a big difference.. Im more or less at sea level and slc is just a tad under a mile up

 

17/20 is the MPG of the 6MT 4x4.
19/24 is the MPG for the 6AT 4x2.

The configurator gets confused when you change locations without starting over. If the config you had set up isn't available in the new region it assigns something that it decides is close.

 

Off roads don't have the skirt, I'm taking mine off my sport, I've ripped them off every truck I've owned

 

FTFY

 

Why?

 

Why what? Why am I taking it off or why do they get ripped off?

 

Why are you taking them off...

 

I think his question is, why take the skirt off, when you can rip it off, that's how you tell if shes kinky

 

I love a girl with a skirt on...

 

I don't really get the hate on the dam. Toyota claims it does not decrease approach angle which separates it from every air dam out there.

 

It does reduce approach angle. It gives the offroad a bit more clearance. It still has a better approach angle with the skirt than any of its competitors.

Our buddy Mike sweers has been asked the same question directly and gave the same answer

 

They always get destroyed when I get in the thicker mud, and honestly, I think it looks better without.i really dont give a shit about mpg, otherwise I would of bought a Prius
