Cold air intake for a 2019

[vicar]

I have 2019 TRD ORP. Is there a consensus on the best CAI for it? I added an AirRaid on my 99 Limited, so I figure I’d try a CAI on the 19.
I like the looks of the TRD CAI but where do I order it? And I’d there another brand I should look at?

TIA

S&B is the brand I plan on buying sometime soon.

None of them do a whole lot. Marginal HP gains, unlikely any MPG gains. With that said, I went with the TRD intake. Quite when cruising, throaty when you get on it, and I did notice a power increase. More so after the exhaust install.

Save your money for something more exciting that you don't already have. Suspension? Armor?

I freaking love my AFE Momentum GT, great design and has a HUGE filter. I got mine on a black friday sale since it is on the pricier side

Wow :surfer:cool looking setup better then my Trd stuff but doesn’t carry the same cache

+1!!

I use the AFE Momentum GT as well with the Pro Dry filter. I just pop out the filter, hit it from the inside with low low pressure compressed air, run my Shop Vac over it, and it's good to go!

Another thumbs-up for the AFE Momentum GT! You'll get/feel the most gains when you pair it with a hi-flow exhaust like a Bolra, etc... I would do both again in a heartbeat...

I could care less about TRD cache, one of the many reasons I bought an SR5 Premium over the TRD Pro I was originally looking at

And I guarantee that my AFE Intake, URD MAF Calibrator and Borla Cat-Back far outperform and sound better than the loud ass TRD parts

I like the TRD CAI. It is quiet when going normal speeds. Stomping the pedal to get to highway speeds sounds ridiculously aggressive given how slow the truck is, but it puts a smile on my face every time.

I also have it paired with a pedal commander on Sport 3, which makes it come alive a little more often.

Added bonus, it's a Toyota part. I feel like for resale, people get nervous when they see after-market stuff in the engine bay, so there is that.

You missed the point bud eep:
It’s the price point thing versus performance :lightsaber:

Also you could have bought a Subaru and still be cool ��

OEM is cold air. That was easy.

My friend who has a 2019 Tundra told me that as well, hahaha.

I mean they all take air from the inner fender area. At some point I'll probably throw an intake on it for sound. Hopefully by that point I have a blower on it.

I would buy something like this to clean up the engine bay and add a little more sound.

Installed the TRD CAI on my 18 Off Road last week. Love it! As others stated quietish until you pull on the highway on-ramp or give it some gas, then has a nice throaty sound.
Yes all are cold air intakes but the design of the "air intake accelerator' on the TRD is different. It sits flat at the fender, - supposedly - creating a more cyclonic pull of air.
The stock piece is cupped so only would pull in from one direction.
I'm as OCD as they come keeping track of gas mileage, maintenance, etc... 2 fulls tanks after installing (same mixed driving as usual and with winter gas) I've notice a 2 mpg gain at the end of the 2nd tank (20.3) and definitely a jump in smiles per gallon.
Adding the TRD exhaust in the next couple weeks.
Some say not worth it but to me it was the first set of upgrades I really wanted (after changing out the tires)
