    Thinking about getting one but heard of a few people complaining of massive drops in MPG. Did it change yours?

    I had one on my tacoma, well it was a bestop super top but very similar. Mpg loss was minimal from having the tonneau cover on

    We have mpg to lose?
    Also had one on my Tacoma
    If I lost any mpg, it was less than 1. Properly installed I dont see how this would affect mpg at all.

    I did not notice any change in mpg when I had the one on my truck. I loved my topper! Highly recommend

    When mine is on it’s cause I’m out having fun. MPG don’t matter at that time LOL

    You will some wind resistance when encountering crosswinds on the highway but nothing that I could see that would hugely impact MPGs
