    I am shopping around for a Cold Air Intake and not sure what I really want or which one is the best for my truck. I have a 09 Taco Prerunner 4.0L.

    URD for sure, its what I run on my truck and I love it! You can still go offroading, just not in deep water to submerge the filter, but honestly most people dont do this.

    Put the K&N in and have been happy with it. Gained 1-2mpg and it's loud when you get on it!
