For those with a 4Runner from that rather good year of 2018, there is an especially bitchin' thing you can do to really set the truck off. You can add a TRD hood! The trunk is the body of the car that fills out in front of you while driving, which provides a mouse wheel movement to catch up with your (carbots) run. The TRD Hood is a great addition because it gives your 4Runner some unique style that really makes it stand out from other vehicles.
TRD has a specific hood that is not the ordinary run-of-the-mill style you find in many vehicles. The case is also made from durable materials, like carbon fiber or fiberglass. They are low in weight, so they do not contribute much to the overall weight of the car but are high in strength — standing up well to a rough environment. The main thing, we are going to install the TRD hood on our 4Runner which looks sick and help with lightening up the car. It allows a car to move faster and consume less fuel.
One of the benefits of that TRD hood too is that it features vents on the sides. The vents, which assist airflow through the engine bay, are probably the most notable. Airflow is also important for keeping the engine cool, especially if you are driving long periods or heading up steep hills. A cool motor runs smoother and longer. The integrated vents also add a nice sporty touch to the hood, which would be great for someone who enjoys some off-road driving. Perfect if you want your 4Runner to both tough and functionally display that the TRD hood is what makes your ride look so great.
The TRD hood naturally has another huge benefit and that is the visibility it provides you when driving. The hood stands taller than the stock version of your 4Runner's hood. It has noticeably more height, granting you a sightline of what's ahead on the road so to speak. This is particularly useful when driving on winding roads or off-road trails, where obstacles can appear suddenly. You want visibility into what is upcoming to enable actionable mitigations.
For one, the TRD hood is raised in the center and provides a clear line of sight between the edge of the hood and road. That means you can see the ground and all the things that bump along with rocks in your way. Visibility of the environment allows you to avoid obstacles and makes driving safer. Better visibility is always going to be a plus, whether you are on the city streets or out on some rugged trails.
If there are plenty of advantages the 2018 4Runner TRD hood can provide over other aftermarket hoods, you'd want to know what they are. It is lightweight and extremely durable just like we discussed, which helps to increase the overall performance of your 4Runner. That means you get a clearer ride and improved management. Not to mention, the TRD hood can also handle open-air elements like scorching heat, freezing temperatures and soaking rain. Your hood protects the engine and gives you confidence to drive in all types of whether.
TRD Hood: Not only does the TRD hood offer potential for some great styling, but it is also an easy install as well. Includes all the parts that you need to easily mount it on your 4Runner. No complex tools or missing pieces need to be dealt with. Additionally, its built to accommodate all of the factory components of your 4Runner so you know it will fit without a hitch.
