    Nice grill! Looking for one myself for my '15.

    Any reason you went for the mesh instead of their billet? Just personal preference?

    Also, how was install?

    I took mine off the truck and used a cardboard box. Cut the top and long side off the box and work in the box. The tabs make the emblem stand up so it gets better coverage. I did 4 coats and turned the emblem 1/4 turn each time. That help hit all the angles. I found that moving the can slower is better than faster.

    Locker Down or Console Vault is my next mod. Looks like a tight fit for your handgun. Is it in a holster???

    Installed Rokblokz oversized rally mud flaps. They mount in the front with brackets, providing more wheel clearance. They solved my rubbing because of my wheel offset, but I didn't need a CMC. These are the regular legnth. They offer a shorter version as well.

    I have a Console Vault. Can't put a full frame pistol in there. Only compacts like my S&W Shield. I have to remove my holster since I use a Crossbreed.

    I think the new interior is great. When sitting in the front seat first thing I noticed was more knee room this comes from the new design of the dash. It also feels like there is a little more leg room. New seats look great with the colored sticking. The new instrument cluster looks and works good. I looked at a sr5 4 cylinder and a base model v6 both access cabs both were automatic they didn't have a 4 door or TRD . I am currently driving a 2015 v6 manual TRD off road access cab. So I was not able to put an exact match up against my truck. But looks wise is all personal opinion. I want to try the new 6 speed manual trans. But I plan on keeping my 2015 for years to come.
