X4XZ Air Cleaner Intake Hose for Toyota Tacoma 3.4L V6 (2001-2004) OE# 17881-62170 — Reinforced Rubber, Includes 5 Clamps

The X4XZ 17881-62170 air cleaner intake hose is a direct-fit replacement boot that reconnects the air filter box to the throttle body on 2001–2004 Toyota Tacoma 3.4L V6 models.

If your Tacoma shows rough idling, reduced fuel economy, or a check engine light related to air leaks, a worn or cracked intake hose is a common cause. This aftermarket replacement reproduces the OE fit (OE# 17881-62170) and ships with five clamps to secure the connections. Constructed from reinforced rubber with high-tenacity fiber content, the hose resists cracking and heat-related softening better than untreated rubber while offering a budget-friendly alternative to dealer-priced parts.

How does this intake hose restore engine performance?

Replacing a leaking or damaged intake hose prevents unmetered air from entering the intake tract, which helps stabilize air/fuel ratios and throttle response. Once the hose seals properly, you should see smoother acceleration and fewer drivability hiccups caused by vacuum leaks.

• Direct-fit to the intake box and throttle body for secure airflow routing.
• Reduces false air readings that can trigger a check engine light.
• Helps return fuel economy by maintaining correct air/fuel mixture.

This X4XZ hose is designed specifically for Toyota Tacoma with the 3.4L V6 from model years 2001 through 2004 and corresponds to OE number 17881-62170. Always compare the part number on your existing hose to ensure compatibility; fitment filters or VIN lookup can verify vehicle-specific match.

What materials and durability can I expect?

The hose is molded from reinforced rubber containing high-tenacity fibers to resist aging and oxidation. This construction helps prevent cracking from heat exposure and drying, offering an improved lifespan versus simple rubber stock while being a cost-effective aftermarket choice.

• Reinforced rubber with fiber reinforcement for added strength.

How easy is installation and what comes in the box?
