The Pro dingus looks better in person.

There was a local meetup a while ago where a guy duct taped a scuba snorkel to the a pillar. Lots of laughs and a few nursing the butthurt.

 

Wow, that's...hideous!

 

Toyota should have made it sealed from water, a few guys in here have hydro locked their engines. snorkel would have come in handy.

 

The problem is true fording depth of a gasoline Tacoma is governed by the location of the ECU modules, not the air intake. The safe fording depth of a Tacoma remains the same with a snorkel, which is below your rocker panels.

Toyota would be insane to suggest an OEM snorkel will allow a greater fording depth.

 

A guy in my city just bought a new Pro, and I've passed him every day this week on my morning commute. Nice truck, but that snorkel is horrendous. It looks so out of place on a stock truck.

 

A pro is not stock!!!! Careful with bro feelings.

 

That is the worst part. It takes up too much of the fender.

 

Tell that to the guys who sucked water into their engines

 

There is a hell of a lot of room in the rear of the passenger side of the engine bay. Enough for people to fit a 2nd battery. You think they could have done something with that space.

Anyways......I stand by my claim. The Toyota DAI is not a hideous as people make it out to be. We’ll all get used to it in time and then we’re all going to want one......except for Smitty. He’ll still be chooching around in his 4-banger Ranger.

 

It comes from the factory that way, it's stock lol

 

I just put my name on the waiting list.

 

Edit: However, I do apologize to the weeping bros who's feelings I have hurt with this statement.

 

I thought pros were hand-built?

 

They didn’t realize the ECU cooked moments before their engine Hydro-locked

 

beat me to it

 

Hand built by real ninjas at a secret location atop Mt. Fuji actually.

 

Saw one in person on a white pro. I think it looks pretty goofy but definitely the most well engineered.

To this day though I often think my own truck looks goofy, like some of the proportions are just wonky on the third gen front end.

 

The 3G front end is an intriguing face. At certain angles, it’s sexy as all hell, and at others it looks like a moose crossed with an alligator.

I still love it though.....flaws and all.

 

Amen, good ol alligoose!
