I'll be passing through Elmira in the next few weeks for work. May have to go lowball the outta them.

 

I'll trade my 17 OR MT for a 19 PRO MT with snorkel straight up.

 

I will trade my 2013 TRD OR 6MT for your 2017 TRD OR 6mt straight up


NO SNORKEL REQUIRED

 

I would too along with a trip to the body shop for a new passenger side fender

 

Are the snorkels removable and then have a filler piece for the fender ? Put em on or off when you want . That would make sense to me .

 

From where? How can driving in the rain and snow storms scooping water in provide better protection unless you turn the scoop intake around?

How sturdy do you think the plastic head mounted to the tube is in sub-zero temps?

I lived in Maine for 4 years......

 

Why would they? It’s Fugly.

 

Nope... just order a 2019 without one. Or wait for the 2020.

 

Pros cost too much and folks who use their truck as a truck are realizing the lower models do the same 'truck things' as a Pro.

Folks are realizing this years Pro color is next years everyone color; so exclusive only one year

Snorkels are functional, but few folks really need the function.

Therefore it must be a ploy to drain poseur wallets.

 

But that sweet Pro resale value!

Buy it now to sell later!

 

I’m sure someone will come up with a clean mod where you cut the top off the shnorkel dingus thing and re-fasten the nozzle lower down. Should be easy enough.

 

notice I said "potentially"

just was seeing from OP's train of thought

 

Maybe Toyota will wise up and dump the "mandatory" snorkel and make it a dealer installed option next year.

 

I bet you if you found a dealer with a TRD pro with a snorkel in the same color as your non-snorkel car they would swap fender and snorkel for your non-snorkel fender.....even trade. Might be a easy way for them to actually sell the trd pro, and you get a free snorkel.

Yeah but they make you look so cool and edgy

 

A thread of foolish owners....

Once water gets to the alternator your fun is over. A snorkel wont prevent that.

Why do you think Toyota commercials show the Pro in the desert and not a stream?

 

I wouldnt go in water past the rockers... dont need to flood my carpet

 

Do you guys think vandalism would be a problem? Pretty easy for someone to dump whatever they want down the snorkel no?

There's a black PRO with the snorkel at the local dealer, it would be a lot cooler if it was more subtle and low profile.
