    Personally, I don't believe in fake tits. If you can touch em they're real.

    Perhaps because it looks cool? No scoop looks cheap and boring. Plus its a truck. I don't expect performance from it!

    I like the skewp, I am quite sure, because I loved Smokey and the Bandit and Night Rider as a kid.

    Skewps were the coolest thing a car could have, according to eight-year-old me. Second would be a giant bird sticker or swooshing red cylon lights. Maybe some solid disk wheels or some sick mags!

    I think the fake hood scoop actually look pretty sharp on these trucks. But I still would not buy a Sport model over an OR just to have one.

    Hood Scoops on the Tacoma are equivalent to fake Pecs

    Yeah the scoop from behind the wheel was detrimental to my driving down the freeway. It was scary.

    I like the scoop on 2nd gen. But I think it’s bloated and way over the top on 3rd gen.

    Wouldn’t they be about the same behind the wheel. Never drove a scooped 2nd gen.

    Just shy of 6’ but up a steep incline I think I’d have a problem with it.
