Default Insulation under hood..?
Who has an insulated hood? Does the tundra even offer insulation under the hood? I noticed mine didn't and was kinda disappointed. Everyone go check and let me know! Thanks!

None on the Gen 1 either. It seems quiet enough without it. No pushrods to clatter.

Sequoia2003 has little shameless behaviour in the past.

mine does not. Not sure it really needs it as I thought the insulated hood was for reducing engine sound to the cabin. My Cummins Ram had it, but my Hemi Ram did not. Diesel are way louder so it makes sense. None of my other Toyota pickups ever had insulation, but my 86 FJ60 did.

My chevy 1500 has it. I thought of it as heat protection for the paint on the hood. I worked in a body shop as a kid and forgot to install the insulation on a car one time and it cooked/cracked the paint, hardly noticeable but my boss was pissed. I just want to make sure it wasn't a corner that was cut. Thanks!!

Am glad that my former 2003 Tundra and my current 2007 Tundra do not have the under-hood insulation.

Sanosuke!

Typically pushrod engines are quieter then DOHC engines, less moving parts.
