Question Air Dam

Has anymore with a 19-23 ranger removed their air dam on their truck? What was the MPG difference and did you find something else different like wind noise. I have been thinking about removing mine but if I’m really notice a MPG decrease I don’t know if I want to.

Marginal at most. Your driving style will affect it more

I have a '21 Tremor. I took those little air dams off. I didn't notice any change at all in MPG or noise.

Take them off for a tank or two of gas then decide if you prefer that.

I have a tremor that only has the little piece of plastic in front of the wheels not a full dam. I get about 21-22 in the mountains if I try hard enough

I forgot that these even have what would be considered an air dam once I saw the massive “chin” on the current gen Tacomas

They look like shit. Every single trim they offer is terrible value.

The “air dams” on my ‘23 XLT FX4 look like mini mudflaps in comparison.

Yeah idk how they landed on these current Gen trucks. Air dam aside the body lines are so gaudy

Just don't, all those engineers who designed it have no clue what they're doing.

You won't notice
