Best TRD Pro Grille

I’ve read through a half dozen threads, but is there a consensus on who makes the best TRD grille? Or should I just suck it up and get the OEM? (For my 2021 model if that matters)

 

Get oem. IMO. It’s going to fit 100% of the time.

 

OEM

 

Op, the dealer sent me the wrong one. I can at least get you 1/2 cheap if you would like. I keep trying to get a return label without success. It’s the lower piece with “Toyota” on it. Just let me know where you live so I can get a price shipped.

you would still have to purchase the upper grill portion

 

OEM. It's a $40,000+ vehicle, spend the few extra bucks.

 

OEM is always the best option, IF.... you dont mind spending the extra money.
A majority (probably 99%, if not higher) of the people on here will. And thats because they/we are gear heads!
And thats 100% true, an OEM part WILL fit100% of the time.

If you dont want to/ cant/ or just cant justify a $450 part vs a $170 knock off, Taco Vinyl makes a very good kit. Only reason I chose to get theirs instead of the OEM part was because I am not going to put letters on mine. They were the only company that I found that doesnt have pre-drilled holes in it for lettering.


2014-19 4runner Pro Grille – Taco Vinyl

 

OP has a 2021, some of the aftermarket grills don't seem to be compatible because of the radar "shield" built into the grill, at least that was the case for a number of the ones I looked up, including the one you suggested.

 

Is it for the 2020-2022 model years?

 

yes sir. I have a 2021. I ordered both pieces and they sent me the lower piece twice. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge can chime in, but I guess there are two part numbers for it. The difference is where it’s made I guess?? But the part number is one number off for the upper. (There are also two different numbers for the upper for the same reason) I saw zero difference between the two. I literally just grabbed one and installed it, so i have no clue where mine is from, but it is OEM lol

Anyway, parts guy literally says, “oh crap” when I told him. He sent me two of the same and it is twice the price of the upper piece. I tried to return it, but have yet to get a return label and it’s been two months. I figure I’ll just sell it, make a couple bucks and save someone $100 or so

 

In the link I provided, it has a link to the 20-22 models... But Ill post it here too so you dont have to click twice...

Just noticed something thanks to the OP. Difference is this little 1/8-1/4 inch cut out for the 20+ models. That’s it. It’s on the underside. So if you find, or get a 2019 and below, it will work. Just use a razor blade and ruler and cut the little notch.

I’m old school. I have done way more. Also, we all act like we aren’t gonna hack these things up worse with a bumper in the future

I ordered mine from Taco Vinyl. I ordered the 2021 of which was “supposed “ to have the cutout for the TSS sensor, it did not. I cut it out myself and installed it. Install was not crazy tough, it’s just a little nerving ripping the front of a brand new vehicle apart.

Perfect fit on my 2020 Runner. No cutting and easy install!

 

I just installed the same one last week. No issues and looks just fine to me. Took the extra money and spent it on more important things like liquor and lottery tickets.

 

Ive asked them to email me when they are back in stock.
