2019 Tacoma TRD Pro gets a snorkel?

https://www.autoblog.com/2018/02/06/2019-toyota-tacoma-trd-pro-snorkel/

Debut is Feb 8 at Chicago Auto Show.

New teaser image from Toyota... look close to see a TRD logo in the snorkel intake grill.

 

just saw that

likely an expensive accessory

 

Could you imagine the warranty nightmare that could happen actually using a snorkel to its full given use, lol.

Will be interesting to see, if this really is true, and the FINE PRINT, written all over, in what they define as proper use.

 

Lol

 

It's for the 8 people that will ever use it.

 

It has TRD on it = sold for expo points
Every Brolander will have it

 

looks dumb.

 

Probably non functioning just like the hood scoop.

j/k

 

Like I mentioned in the other Pro thread, I think it's hilarious that they may be advertising a snorkel, but can't give us rear disc brakes like the freakin' Yaris has.

 

YES !!! Dude, IO will never be stuck again doing my Walmart returns -

 

Looks like a War of the World's probe tentacle.

 

Perfect!.
Air intake needs to be higher than all the old farts at the mall. Those Rascals pollute a lot down below.

 

Realistically, I wonder what the fine print on its use will be. Will Toyota derp it by saying "don't submerge your vehicle while using this snorkel" or something to that affect? Or is it a green light for warrantied work when a snorkel equipped Pro fords a deep stream up to the door handles...

 

Look how high it sits above the roof.

 

It seems to mimic the profile of the grille opening, which makes it seem more at home. It also doesn't look to be as ugly/bulky on the fender as what's currently out there--but hard to tell.

I'd say looks better than the current options on the market. People will always find some way to be negative.

 

Amphibious Taco!!! Lol.

 

It’s not a snorkel, Toyota is giving us something much more functional: a periscope. So we can see over the hood when cresting a hill, or turning into a crazy tight parking spot at Starbucks

 

Don't need a snorkel, but hopefully other parts can also be added in to previous years, if so desired.

 

Maybe they moved the fuel tank and that’s where u fill up. Lol JK!!!
