Put regular hood on my white TRD PRO.

I'm not sure if there's that much of a difference, but the weight of the pro hood is ridiculous. Are there any other options to reduce weight?

 

Locker.

If you need hill start assist, buy an auto. Or take driving lessons.

 

It's not a fake skewp... bro... what's wrong with you?

 

They're not fake if you can touch them.

 

i completely agree, but it's the OP's choice of value.

 

I didn't know that was a feature on the Sport, and for that matter don't know why it's not standard equipment. I drive an auto and have had to use my emergency break when getting started on even moderate hills, something I've rarely had to do with any MT I've driven, and never before on an auto. Interestingly, it seems to only be an issue for me on paved roads and not on trails.

 

Nah he's just being a .....prick.

 

DB65 I see your in NE Phila, I just purchased a 17 OR super white and looking for scooped hood to trade for my non scoop. Located 30 min outside Phila.

 

Ok, would you prefer "useless"??

 

lol.. about as useless as the plastic bumpers and the 1/8th inch skid plates on all of them... don't forget crawl control lol If we start naming useless parts on Tacoma's this is going to be a long thread

 

Mine is 6MT, so far best truck I've ever owned. Of course I red-line it everywhere I drive.

 

My first Toyota was a 97' 22RE 5speed MT, paid 12k OTD.

 

So far I think the plain hood looks as good as the stock PRO.

 

What were your reasons for changing your hood out?

 

That "TOYOTA" grill is growing on me. OP, nice looking truck.

 

Wtf mate

 

Hey Bro-neighbor.... I'm in NW Philly, Mt Airy / Chestnut Hill where skewps are real bro...

 

Looks great! I opted for an Off Road partially because of the absence of the hood scoop. In hind sight, an SR5 might have been my best choice, but hey, I like the truck, and who doesn't like paying extra to get a sticker they are contemplating removing?

 

I'm driving a 2017 Sport as a loaner & the scoop does limit visibility. Makes me think twice about putting a sport hood on my 15

 

Seriously. Offer it up for trade. You will get a non-scooped hood and minimum of $250. That'll offset some lost resale.

I traded my scooped hood. I like the visibility and sleekness of the smooth hood. The cash on top I received made it worth my time and less of a worry for lost resale value.
