Looks like the first review of the 2019 TRD Pro is up.

Unfortunately it's in Spanish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFoRhr8VJf8

 

I'm curious how they are attaching the snorkel to the a-pillar

 

3M tape.

 

oh god no .....please

 

I don't speak Spanish so I have no idea if he mentions anything in the video. Maybe someone else will chime in later with an answer.

 

Looks like a bracket on the front rack mount...and probably 3M on the pillar itself.

 

I think I'd still rather have a safari.

 

Having never owned a snorkel - and probably won't anytime soon, I am curious whether the force of the air coming into the snorkel does in fact act as an accelerator to get more air into the engine faster when the vehicle is in motion vs. pulling from the wheel well? Or basically no difference except toyota says you can drive in the desert with a cleaner intake (but of course won't recommend taking a "snorkel" as a pass to drive through 2 ft of water

 

If there is any Ram Air effect, I would guess it would get cancelled out by the extra drag it creates.

 

He said that the " Snorkel " is not for crossing steams of water but only for desert areas, he with other journalist folks of other magazines doing their testing / reviews of these vehicles.

 

No carplay

 

He says the snorkle is sold separately. It does not come with the trd pro package its an extra you can buy.
I speak spanish, however i did not watch the full video

 

At about the 6:30 point he shows a bracket that looks like it attaches where the roof rack does.

 

Important stuff he said:

1. Only automatic for 2019.
2. The snorkel is not really a snorkel.
3. You can choose between a 4 and 6 cylinder.
4. You can get sunroof, JBL and snorkel optionally.

He’s reading the stuff off a paper. You could hear it all the time when he reads specs so I don’t know if he’s talking bs or info given by Toyota. He also says it’s a pre production and things can be added or removed last minute before it goes into production.

 

A 4 cylinder PRO? That I would have to see to believe! No Manual? Both of those items sound BS to me. Unless that config is for Europe?

 

Very surprised no manual for Europe, everything is manual there.

Just returned from 3 weeks in Spain last week, had a shitbox Citroen C3 with a stick that felt like I was stirring rocks.

Wondering if I should have waited for the 19 Pro... I'm sure supply and demand is gonna be fun.

 

ONLY AT - fuck that - going to the RL if that is the case

 

WHAT! I AM GETTING A SUBARU BRAT! A REAL MANS TRUCK!
