TRD Off Road Hybrid, keep the front air dam or kick it to the curb.

You'll find a chorus of folks who will say to take it off. As for myself, I will probably take it off for the summer months and reattach it for the winter as it will help give some protection to the front end components from salt and gravel that is prevalent in my area.

Not a bad idea.

I like where your minds at. I wonder why the non-hybrid TRD OR didn't come standard with the dam. Thankfully I live in the desert and salted roads aren't a thing around here.

It’s your truck..do as you want.. I would think being where it snows a lot it would probably end up as a snow plow

If you’re about maxing MPGs & efficiency then keep it on, apparently it’ll provide additional airflow to cool your brakes as well. If you intend to use the high output inverter while idling in generator mode, you won’t notice anything but an average MPG decline. You’d have to manually calculate the MPG difference to see if the chin spoiler is really working for you. In Colorado those can easily load up with ice & chunder. IDK flip a coin based on the pros and cons of that thing

I see zero pros of leaving it on. The mpg change was nothing on vs off. Con for leaving on is going to be an issue in the snow of any meaningful inches. Another con that might be a pro based on preference is it is ugly as hell. Only you can decide that.

The air dam has grown on me for the Sport and Limited models. I personally think it looks out of place on the others though.
