Toyota's Overland-Ready Tacoma makes a big splash at SEMA360.

INB4 30 people who never leave pavement(or the city) roll their eyes and talk about how this shouldn't exist because they would never use it.

A big splash? Well, with those wheels/tires, that kind of ground clearance, and that protective underbody stuff, Yeah, I guess it will indeed make a good-size splash in fairly deep water....as long as the water isn't flowing fast enough to be dangerous.

Those TRD snorkels aren't even standard anymore on the newer Pro models.

To be fair, it's not actually a snorkel as most of us would define it. It is not sealed in any way for water fording, but is meant so that you can turn the scoop around backwards when desert running to keep sand out of the intake.

Overall looks pretty good. Not my thing, but very well executed.

Toyota lost some parts sales right there...I guess Taco guys preferred the aftermarket options.
