Description
Part number SS172HP, the ARB® Safari ARMAX Snorkel, is a high-flow air intake relocation system designed for the 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma (4-Door, Gas) — covering both the 2.7L I4 and 3.5L V6 engines across all available trim levels.
IMPORTANT: This snorkel is designed specifically for the 3rd Generation Toyota Tacoma (2016–2023) with a 4-door configuration. TRD Pro fitment begins with the 2017 model year. The Base trim is covered for 2022 only, and the Trail Special Edition for 2023 only. Confirm your exact model year, trim, and engine before ordering. For the 2nd Generation Tacoma (2005–2015), see ARB® Safari ARMAX Snorkel SS171HP or SS123HP.
A snorkel system relocates the engine’s air intake point from its standard under-hood position to a much higher location at roof height, where a consistent supply of cooler, cleaner, and drier air is available. This protects the engine from water ingestion during water crossings, reduces the risk of hydrolocking, and supplies denser, dust-reduced air in off-road and overland environments where airborne particulates are a constant concern. The ARB® Safari ARMAX Snorkel SS172HP is engineered specifically for the 3rd Generation Toyota Tacoma and integrates cleanly with the factory airbox.
The SS172HP is manufactured from Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), a premium-grade housing material that is both UV stable and highly resilient to the physical impacts common in off-road use. The ARMAX body and ducting are designed for high-flow air delivery — providing an air supply in excess of the engine’s requirements at all RPM ranges. This ensures that the snorkel itself is never the restriction in the intake system, preserving full engine output under all operating conditions.
The snorkel body features sealed construction engineered for maximum dust and water exclusion. The elevated intake position removes the air source from areas where water splash, engine bay heat, and ground-level dust concentrate — all factors that reduce air quality and can damage an unprotected engine. UV-stable polyethylene construction ensures the body will not degrade, fade, or become brittle from prolonged sun exposure, making it equally suited to desert, coastal, and high-altitude environments.
The ARB® Safari ARMAX Snorkel SS172HP is backed by ARB’s Lifetime Warranty, reflecting the brand’s confidence in the long-term durability of this product.
