2019 Tacoma TRD Pro gets a snorkel?

I wouldn't own a turbo because they aren't nearly as reliable as a non turbo. That's why the ranger wouldn't even be on my radar.

 

The TRD Pro was basically a base SR5 before. If they add some luxury shit to it, I’m in.


Now to get a non pro, it’d have to be completely redesigned.

 

Do you REALLY think they wouldn't have considered this?

 

Instead of a snorkel they should do front lockers instead.

 

I live in the desert, so I'd actually appreciate the snorkel. The amount of dust kicked up and how long it lingers during the dry season (READ: entire summer) is amazing. I'd imagine it has a pretty hefty price tag, though. $800-$1k, probably.

If it's $500 or so, I'm buying it.

 

Now you're really dreaming!

Maybe when rainbow colored pixie dust covered unicorns fly out of Stocklocker's butt! Ha ha!

Gonna need it trailing behind Ranger's dust here real soon...

Maybe that is the reason it is getting a snorkel.

Ha ha...I kid, I kid...

 

$500 buys a lot of air filters.

 

And yet, diesels go hundreds of thousands of miles. All Ford turbo blocks are CGI, same as diesels.

 

Over here trying to be fancy and shit, lawd.

 

TLDR the whole thread, but I see people talking about submerging bullshitery. It's advertised as a dust heavy environment accessory. The intake supposedly will take less dust bombardment from the snorkel height.

 

Hey, I’m fancy. Lolol

 

Yes, absolutely right. But if this helps keep the dust out of the engine, I don't see a downside. Filter can do so much, even when new.

In some places we camp, even with minimal traffic, our tent is covered in a layer of fine dust overnight. Gets everywhere.

 

Then why are the ecoboost engine's failing so early?

 

You're talking about a very small percentage of overall number produced. Toyota N/A engines have done the same. No engine is bulletproof. There will be some failures. Vast majority are working just fine.

 

Since there isn't a way to tell, we will just have to disagree.

 

Snorkels anyone?

 

Does the snorkel have a pre-filter or is it open?

The ones that look like a bird feeder make sense to me, the open version not so much, would think a bunch of dust gets caught in the tube, imagine it would be a bitch to clean.

Our old earth moving equipment had pre-filters. Used to have a JD 555 years and years ago.

 

As mentioned before, Toyota to remain competitive is renaming the glove box on the PRO to Front Locker.

 

A vehicle can't be reliable if it leaves you stranded.
