    Another key ingredient for getting over 300k from your taco, LOOK OUT FOR STU! That's the jerk that tries to squeeze through the last millisecond of a yellow light, turning left in front of you. Last name is usually Pidaso, for all you Simpson's fans. Had 276k on my 04 till then. Now it's a '15 trd sport DC full bed. Getting ready to switch all lubricants to Amsoil full synthetic.
    Has anyone made the hoodscoop useful and did it help mileage much?

    Welcome to TW.

    People have converted the scoop to an actual intake. However it did nothing to help. Some say that it made things slightly worse.

    Golfindude,
    I also had to bury my 04 Taco 2 months ago. I was disappointed to see that my 19 Taco hood scoop is just for looks.

    That's kind of what I thought, didn't know if ecm would make adjustments to compensate. Guess I'll just keep trying to keep it under 80! LOL (lots of luck)!
