    I see they stop making them at the 11 model. What’s the difference in the engine compartment that it wouldn’t fit? Or is there a way to make it work? Feel left out lol

    I think the reason is that in 2012 they installed the Secondary Air Injection Pump on the wheel well inside the engine compartment. In the area of where the CAI would run.

    I could be wrong, but that component is in the way.

    The Tacoma already gets it's air from the passenger wheel well. Its already a CAI system. You won't feel any improvement with an aftermarket system.. I looked into it, and none reported noticeable HP or TQ improvements. So I didn't bother.

    Don’t feel left out. You already have a cai. Spend your money on something else.

    Like other’s have and said and will say, spend your money on something different. No real gains for an after market CAI on these trucks unless you want more noise.
