Now if they only offered a engine cover to cover up that jungle gym looking engine.

If it’s any consolation to not having an engine cover, should note that nobody ever told the 22R-TE to “cover up”, and they look like they were assembled in shop class. Sun’s out, gun’s out.

 

I did the Zekzoop one, looks about the same. I wasn't smart enough to put a blanket over the engine, and lost a few push pins during the process but I installed it myself too. A few of the holes are a beeyotch to get lined up, like the middle back one But it looks good now.

 

That needs to be bigger as you can still see the majority of the engine

 

Close the hood. Problem solved.

 

My truck came with a painted aluminum engine cover

 

I ordered that same cover for $74 and it came with the clips.

As the material is kind of thin, I purchased a 1/2" thick closed cell foam exercise mat for $14, cut it into rectangle pieces, and siliconed them into place in the depressions on the top of the cover, before installing it.

 

Which trims come with this from the factory?

 

Came standard on LTD HV. might be all hybrids, or only LTDs, others would have to chime in.
Here's the OEM part (I believe): https://autoparts.fredandersontoyota.com/products/product/insulator-hood-53341ak010#popup-1

 

I purchased and installed the Zekzoop unit from Amazon ($74 including fasteners) with free amazon shipping, and immediately noticed about a 75% reduction in the injector clatter--I am very pleased with the result. I did not, however, like the fit across the aft edge of the truck as it only uses 3 fasteners and the insulation, being rather thin, sags between the fasteners. I fixed this by using the two extra fasteners in the kit about 8 inches outboard left and right and in line with the center fastener. There are no holes in that position so use a drill stop and drill two holes in that position--put a little paint on the drilled hole--the hood has a double thickness there, and use your two extra fasteners. If preferred, you could also use a dab of strong adhesive in that location. All sagging gone and looks like factory!!

Yeah mine has a little sag there too but not sure I want to drill into the hood either to make it better. I'll see how it ages...
