2019 Tacoma TRD Pro gets a snorkel?

gee-bus, that is almost as bad a bigfoot riding nessie pic...

 

Well, now you can have one and the keep the warranty valid too.

 

I'd like to know if toyota will have a new replacement fender with a precut hole/bolt holes, or are the dealers getting issued a TRD saw-Zaw??

 

Looks a lot like what is offered on the HiLux. Tell ya though, the HiLux sure does trump the Tacoma
in the accessory department. But they tend to use their trucks as trucks over there...

Ugh. I might still run that. Seriously though who is the focus group “yes” ing this stuff

 

All kidding aside, it does appear that Toyota is watching their target market, the Overland crowd... that is very popular right now.

Now only if we could get a diesel and a solid front axle...

I am an IFS long travel person. But we can still be friends.

 

I like both. When I lived in AZ definitely into loooong travel IFS, now in ID....SAS makes more sense here in the mountains, though we do have a fair share of desert.

Would really like to see IRS....be a nod to the old Iron Man race truggy.

The president of Toyota global (Mr. Toyoda) said that in 5 years, EVERY Toyota model will be hybrid/electric, or have a hybrid option. So... that’s a thing.
The new highlanders and siennas will be exclusively hybrid, so that’s just the start.

 

That’s the cleanest undercarriage I’ve ever seen! SEMA Show truck? Looks good!

 

It’s better be a sema show truck with that IRS! I’m JELLLY.

 

Yep, that is the one.

 

Beautiful!!

 

I might have completed a survey about snorkels some time ago

 

Did you choose the one that looked like an IUD?

Is that why this is happening?

 

You can't prove that.

 

Frontier:

 

No offence, but I don’t quite understand all the Hilux love and “trucks as trucks” talk. The new Hilux looks like balls, and I am so very glad it’s not what Toyota offers here. These light-duty trucks see the same amount of mall crawling, posing, and off-roading for groceries in Australia as Tacomas do here. For the record, I use my truck as a truck, and truck around in it, trucking stuff back and forth, so it seems to be trucky enough without looking like that Hilux design abortion.

Your beloved 2018 Hilux (you can have it )



Nice bed bars tho!

 

The new HiLux is pretty ugly, no doubt...but what I am talking about is the accessary page compared to what we get in the US.

Just scroll through it and you'll see it is aimed at people that actually use it as a truck. Not to mention it gets a truck engine a nice torquey diesel.

compared to the US:

Canvas seat covers, trays, dual batteries, bull bars, winches, etc....all available from the factory.

 

I suspect a lot of it is dealer push back in the US. They make a lot of money pushing those accessories from 3rd parties they know and have dealt with for years.
