The Toyota Prado is the ultimate pick for Kenyans who want unparalleled reliability, unmatched durability, and exceptional off-road performance. These are the hallmarks that have contributed to the success of the Toyota Prado from the J90, J120, J150, and now the J250. Be that as it may, one small but critical component has played a pivotal role in the performance of the Prado: a snorkel. If you regularly drive on dusty roads, muddy trails, deep waters, or rough road terrains, this is why you need a snorkel.

A snorkel is an air intake extension that routes the engine’s breathing point from under the hood up to the roof level. The factory air intake of the Prado is located inside the front inner fender lining, meaning it is susceptible to drawing in dirty air that could clog your filter, blocking clean air from reaching the engine for better combustion. Bad combustion results in poor fuel economy. Adding a snorkel will ensure your engine draws clean air from a roof height level.

When you drive your Prado through deep waters or a flooded road, the bow wave created is likely to be ingested into the engine, causing a hydrolock resulting in bent piston rods and cracked cylinders. Shifting the air intake to a roof height level allows you to do water crossings without putting your engine at risk.
A snorkel complements the rugged look of the Prado, enhancing its imposing road presence.
