TRD-Sport Hood Swap to a TRD- Off Road?

Hi all, might be a dumb question, but can a 2022 TRD-Sport Hood swap to a 2022 TRD- Off Road? I don't care about off roading or any other packages one has over the other really. Just want the 4x4 and the hood scoop lol. I've seen some vids on youtube but only for 2021 and want to confirm this is the case.

If so, where is a good place to get a pre-painted trd-sport hood?

Thanks!

 

Welcome to the forum. Yup you can swap. Check out the thread here or watch your local Craigslist. You will have to pony up some cash though. Edit: here’s the thread link.

Thanks! I seen here: https://www.revemoto.com/products/2022-toyota-tacoma-hood-and-scoop-painted Is this a BS thing or legit? Thanks you

 

Have you bought an Off Road yet? If not, sounds like you would be happier with a Sport or Pro.

 

No didn't buy it yet, but TRD-Sports in my area are a 4-5 month wait list for new. Don't got that kind of time.

 

Search Cargurus to see if there are any Sports in your area.

I've eyeballed that site, no luck for me. Appreciate the insight!

 

Here is another option for a scooped hood. Looks like you would have to get it painted.

I also wanted the scooped hood and eventually ended up just buying a sport/pro hood from Toyota and had it paint matched and installed at a local collision center.

 

How much did that run you to get that hood w/paint match & installation from the dealership?

I bought an Off-Road and then later wanted a scooped hood. I did find someone in the trade thread to swap with. I had to wait a couple years to find that person but I did, ha. Its purely a visual change. The scoop does absolutely nothing.

Pics just because, ha.

LOL love this site. Some members hate the hood scoops as they are not functional and you get others are just dying to get them. Weird just saying.

 

Is the scoop functional or does it just add 4.75 HP?

 

The sport scoops "functions" as a very popular design element.

 

No, just another 25 lbs to the hood. That is why I installed hood struts. Makes it easier to open the hood. just saying

 

Your truck does look better with the scoop. I don’t know why but it just does.

 

I’m not a fan of the faux scoop, and that’s why I bought the TRD Offroad. It’s easier to install new tires and shocks than to get a new hood painted and installed. I don’t have the patience to hunt around for a swap.

 

Its probably a pita to see over when wheeling or on a steep hill.

 

Not really anymore that the regular hood. Plus that's what a front camera is for, ha.
