    I have a 2014 Tacoma and recently realized there is no hood insulation pad. Are they supposed to come with one?

    My 2014 regular cab has neither hood nor firewall insulation, but some models do have firewall insulation:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/firewall-insulation-part-numbers.452268/

    You would also need to figure out the part number for the fasteners.

    Based on previous vehicles where I have added hood insulation, you would be able to notice the reduction in engine noise.

    Hood insulation is available on the 4Runner, but I was unable to figure out if any of the part numbers would fit on a Tacoma.

    I ordered hood insulation from an earlier Ford Focus for my 2006 model. It did not quite fit right at the front edge of the hood, but was usable. Be aware that shipping for a large piece of semi-rigid insulation is quite expensive, due to the size of the package.
