    None as of now
    I do use the ECT button constantly. I did drive it before I bought it. I did not expect it to be like a full size farm truck. I did expect it to be the quality of the other 2 Tacomas i had. My wife has a Lexus IS350c which has the same motor only it is pumping out 385hp, and the new Ford ECOboost 3.5L can pump out 450hp. Toyota could have done a much better job on this version of the truck. I have decided to go ahead and get rid of it. I have until the end of October that I need for work, then it is gone with only 21k mileage.

    Hmm, in that case, the hood scoop is not going to help. But yeah, if you're a farmer, get a full size.

    If you test drove it, what made you buy it? The IS350c does not put out 385hp and the Ecoboost 3.5L or any stock V6 out there does not put out 450hp. Neither are good comparisons (one is a coupe and the other a turbo) regardless of output anyways.

    Don't be shy to rev these engines though. As for the shifting, get the TSB done.

    This. All of this.

    The sport hood on mine looks good, but goddamn visibility sucks, especially on the trails.

    Im really interested to see that hood scoop from Air design on someones truck. Similar to new raptor hood but I wish they’ve done it as a whole new hood instead. I would pay up a lot more if it was entire hood replacement.
