The point of Toyota's TRD Desert Air Intake is to avoid this issue altogether. Rather than the air intake coming through the wheel wells, it now comes from the clean air above the truck. This will not only enhance the truck's performance, but it will increase the truck's longevity as well as the longevity of many pieces beneath the hood of the truck. Filters, to name an obvious one.
As long as you're comfortable with the aesthetic differences that this Desert Air Intake introduces into the 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, then it would be an excellent option to opt for it. If you don't want it, however, you can choose not to have it on the truck. Any questions? Give us a call here at the sales desk!
