    Motor doesnt get hot enough to need it. Its only good for keeping the heat from messing up the paint.

    More likely for driver side visibility around the a-pillar, whether a minuscule difference or not. 4runners don't have driver side handles anymore either. Pretty sure Tundras don't anymore either.

    I read somewhere that the top 3 reasons for getting rid of un-needed shit from a vehicle were:
    1 Profits
    2 Profits
    3 Profits bro

    Nah... I take it back... the real reason no hood mat is:

    They removed it so that @smitty99 wouldn't have another problem with his Taco....
    I could see it now... hood mat comes loose.... makes a whining noise then catches on fire. That would be problems solved.
