Road Trip in our Mudbath TRD Pro

We took our Mudbath TRD Pro on a 3700 mile roadtrip. How did it do? How is the 4Runner on a roadtrip? We are headed to Canada to pick up our new Overland trailer. Video directly below. Let me know if you have any questions.

Nice pics. Did not watch the video yet. quick questions:

1) 35mpg??? Seems unbelievably high. I know when you reset the MPG and drive very carefully it can show some high MPG's, I have seem 50MPG but that's not accurate over time.
2) The rear view mirror, was that with the trailer? If so, do you have a camera on the trailer overriding the rear door cam. Maybe that's an option. I would not know because I don't plan on using the 4R as a tow vehicle.
3) The two things you noticed are the blue and red led's, I assume. I agree, that's distracting. They should dim using an ambient light sensor to trigger.

I didn't know you were on this forum. I've been watching your videos. Your winch install was really thorough and appreciated! This road trip looks awesome so far. The trailer looks incredible. I don't think I've ever seen a trailer I liked this much and makes me want to get one. Enjoy!

That overland trailer is nice!

35 was real but only for the first 1/4 of the tank from Mizzoula to Glacier NP. Average was 21 without trailer and 15 with.

the is without the trailer. With trailer, all I see is the trailer’s diamond plate. I got one of thise cheap wireless cameras that I stuck to the back of the trailer. Works good enough for me. Will show that in a future video.
The blue led was so annoying, took down the dashcam and am in market for a different one!
