It’s a personal preference thing.
May I ask what makes you not want/ like the idea of a snorkel on the 3rd gen?

I just dont believe it's worth going deep enough in water to be worth the risk. Especially because of how much electronics are in this truck just because your truck can breath consent protect it from getting in the cab.
I agree with you there, in order to use the snorkel to keep water out, other parts of the truck need to be addressed too. The breathers, electronics, etc.
There is another pro to having a snorkel though. If you travel/ wheel/ live on a really dusty road, it really does keep the dust down that goes into the air filter. I personally know this as I used to blow out my filter after every trip off-road (a lot of dust would come out) and now I barely have to do it after a half a dozen wheeling trips.

I can understand that. I am just saying that a snorkel would have better use on a older pickup. Like I had an 1994 Toyota pickup, I would love to put a snorkel on that strip out all the unnecessary wiring and see how far it could take me

It is definitely a personal preference thing and I wouldn’t really argue with someone who is feels it is ugly and/or not needed. I have one, but I understand why people wouldn’t.

Definitely a good thread I have a new look on snorkels now. I don't think they are for me but I just learned more about them thank you
Thanks for that comment. It makes me feel like the forum is helping someone (not that I don’t think it does).

Everyone on here is just here to help each other and learn. It's awesome
Yes sir! That’s the great part about this forum.
When you need one, you need one. Especially in dust/snow. I was tired of getting snow jammed in my factory airbox, so I was considering it. The AFE intake solved the issue.
