    No, you just have to warm them up the old fashioned way. Short a 9 volt battery and stick it down into your junk.

    Raptors. To my knowledge you can’t swap suspensions with f150s.

    Interesting to see the poll split 50/50 on this question. I suppose that says something about the faith some people have in Toyota’s tuning department.

    On a personal level, I like my truck well enough, but would happily sacrifice a little mileage to have a bit better throttle response, while keeping my Toyota warranty, and knowing I wasn’t in some way punishing my engine for the added zoom.

    If TRD offered a performance tune, I’d probably go for it, but seems doubtful such a thing would ever happen. I still think it’s a missed opportunity in the world of OEM offerings. Like, think of what people will spend for a TRD Cold Air Intake that does nothing. Why not offer a product that actually improves/changes the performance?

    Oh well.....
