ToyotaGenuine Parts - TRD Pro Grill Tacoma (PT228-35170)

I had a knockoff Toyota legacy grill on my TRD OR for a few years.. And although it did a decent job of looking good(but still wasn't perfect), it showed all the signs of being fake, right away. The color bleed from sunlight, clips that crack on install, and the screws that hold the toyota lettering in the middle backing out or cracking the plastic that it screws into. Unlike the fake grill, this one right from the get go, you know it's quality. It physically feels more robust. The black and gray colors are deeper and although I can't say for certain yet, I believe they will hold the color. Install was super easy. Especially since the fake grill, I was able to pull straight off the truck with my bare hands because so many of the clips had broken.Another major note: Since I installed the new grill(and sensor garnish), I haven't had a single instance of my front collision sensor disabling itself(this controls things like cruse control, and collision avoidance!)! As were with the previous grill and garnish(this part was OEM) would often disable itself. I can't speak to the exact cause, but it often happened to sun up or sun down while driving "into" the sun.Overall quality of the new grill and getting from this listing is absolutely top notch. I'll report back in another year or so and update then as well.

I’m not 100% positive but I do believe this grille is Toyota OEM. Supposedly one of the indicators of a knock-off is the lettering. The knock-offs have letters which are screwed on separately, but these were permanently fixed to the grille.Whether it’s OEM or a knock-off I wouldn’t really be able to take the difference, it looks awesome. It was shipped nicely and was completely intact, no scratches. All was good and the installation was seamless.One thing I would have liked to know beforehand is the grille doesn’t really allow you to place the aftermarket LEDs anywhere you would like. I didn’t realize the spacing on the bottom half of the grille is different from the top half, so I was only able to place them in the same way that everyone else does. I now realize why everyone lays them out the same way. These LEDs I ordered separately on Amazon as well just FYI.

Exactly what I ordered. OME Toyota. Easy installation. Replaced stock grill that black over chrome was peeling. One thing the garnish being needed isn’t mentioned on this OME grill. Had to order it the next day.

Legit grilled, perfect fit on the tacoma

Looks OEM compared to other TRD pro grills but doesn’t come with any screws for the install

Fits Great, Looks Great, super Easy Install. This is the only way to go!

I always liked the look of the pro grill but never got around to swapping one in until my old OEM grill was showing chips and wear .Easy installation and I like the look .

Package arrived undamaged. The grille was packaged well, protecting the snap tabs on the back as well as a nice film covering over the front to protect from “box burn” during shipping. Both box and part are appropriately labeled as genuine OEM Toyota. As indicated by the part number, the “garnish” for 2018+ model years TSS system is NOT included and has to be purchased separately. The center plate needs to be removed and replaced with the separate garnish for use on 2018+ trucks equipped with TSS. Removing the locking spring washers to install the garnish requires a deft hand and a light touch to prevent damage to the grille. Don’t expect to reuse the existing locking spring washers, as they will be destroyed during removal, which is something else to buy as they’re not included with the garnish plate. I ended up having to use a dremel to split them.The price is high when compared to other aftermarket offerings, but buy once, cry once.
