    I think my Truck looks Night and Day better without that Electric Shaver on the Front!

    It was still a TRD PRO grille, they just said it was "heritage inspired" but still a TRD PRO grille, the 15's were just the first PRO.

    Unfortunately I think it looks the way it should have in the first place and I wish the Pro itself got a more aggressive grill and the rest of the line have this one.

    Believe it or not I bought the Grille way back when I first ordered the Truck, it was a Christmas deal and I got it for like $369 shipped which was a smoking deal!

    Mine bothers me but not enough to spend money to change it. Perhaps if mine gets damaged I'll go by a SR5 grill. I do like the pro grill but not for the price

    It's surprising to me that the Limited doesn't have the chrome grille

    Yes, correct they it was that they described it as "heritage inspired". It did roll out on the 15 Pro, and is specific to the Pro line.

    I would not have picked one up if it said "Pro", I just dig the nostalgic Toyota lettering and to me it speaks "old school" more than it does "Pro"

    Biggest thorn in my side with this damn truck. I have an iPhone and found the QI charger useless, so it now serves as my sunglasses mat.

    The limited has always been an upgraded Sr5 model/trim, kinda makes sense, keeping the Sr5 grille style, I do believe it is a different finish though, not matte but like a glossed version.
