    Wassup everybody. I'm a newbie here at TW and just picked up my bosses 2008 Prerunner SR5 access cab. It has high mileage but overall in very good condition. I've just change the oil and filter, replaced the trans filter and 3qts fluid per manual, replaced rear diff with 3 qts per manual and cabin filter. Is there anything else I can do to help improve mileage?. Changing plugs this weekend.
    Thanks for helping out a former van owner and now a proud & happy taco owner. :):):)

    Go easy on the gas pedal, and keep the correct pressure in your tires.

    Or.....work an hour of overtime a week, and put the pedal to the metal!!

    Keep your tire pressure up, don't go over 70, press the accel like there is an egg between your foot and the pedal.
    Welcome! Tape up your wallet for a while before jumping in on mods. You will find that mods come with negatives as well as positives, so read a lot of the forums first.
    My favorite mod- the immryota rear view mirror mod for tall drivers.
