Today's Tacoma Commute Update: 40 Miles, ECO Mode on Highway, and How to Reset Total Average for Better MPG

Hey guys. Anyone else running a bumper with a winch? I have a small fan (maybe some kind of sensor) on my truck I haven't seen on the C4 install guide. It's probably because I have a hybrid, is my guess. But it seems that it will interfere with my winch. I'm thinking I can just relocate it somewhere along the support. Any reason not to? Anyone know exactly what this little thing is? Image for reference below. I circled it in red.

What's good Taco owners. Hope everyone is having an amazing week so far. Morning commute for today was 40+ miles (30 highway). ECO mode on the highway, regular mode the rest of the time.

Just to point out, I went into the system and looked at it by “Trip Average” instead of “Total Average”.

The Total Average can also be reset and that helps recalibrate the MPG on your driving habits. You'd be getting better than what the display indicates.
