SPORT HOOD

Does it sit higher than the “regular hood”, affecting visibility? These trucks are already tall and have a big blind spot directly in front.

Yeah i back in pretty much 100% of the time, but front camera is super valuable offroad especially when cresting hills

Knowing the sport hood is worse for visibility Im happy with my normal hood

Indeed..I thought no hood could be worse for picking a line than mine, until I wheeled a TRX with it’s giant hood hump for a deer hunt’s duration.
Haven’t yet used any of the cameras except for hooking up trailers, that one switches itself on.
What do you do, turn on the front camera when engaging 4WD…does it stay on until turned off?

Sort of yes. It (sometimes) turns off over a certain speed (18mph I think)…though sometimes I’ve gotten it to stays on even at slightly higher speeds. It also turns off when you switch out of drive which is kind of annoying if having to go back and forth k turn on switch backs or get turned around.
It’s good, but it definitely lacks depth perception, can be difficult to gauge size or rocks with it
 
Having an extra two inches on top of the five foot tall wall of solid metal completely blocking out everything in front of you when the nose is up makes all the difference, eh?

I’ll probably just keep paying attention and planning ahead, might have her switch it on some to have a look if I think of it.
 
Going from stock hood to sport hood height is a non issue for me, adapted quickly to new hood
