    2019 SR Access Cab V6 my first Tacoma. Noticed a vent in the passenger side front wheel well, can someone provide some information on this?
    New to the forum, tried a search but with thousands of posts I could have missed it.Tacoma Wheel Vent.jpg

    This is why you don't need an aftermarket CAI.

    Don’t buy a cold air intake please. Probably the best thing for a new Tacomaworld member to follow. Your truck already has one.

    FYI: that is where the engine intake air gets behind the fender liner. The actual tube letting air into the engine is high-mounted in the fender, above the wheel.

    Been saying this for years, nobody listens. Most people buy an expensive gimmick. A fool and his money is quickly parted.

    His next thread will be about tires, sizing, and if they’ll rub.
