    I like the new SR5 grille and the heritage grille the best. Did they change anything on the SR5 grille for 2021? It looks the same as my 2020 as far as I can tell.

    I have the 2020 SR5 and I really like that Grille. I have to agree with the comments that the chrome ring needs to go in favor of black. I did just that with mine.

    I think the Op's Truck looks great with that. Also the pro grille looks great too. If you want to go with that. I resist doing it and putting on raptor lights because I don't want to be a poser. I have been thinking about doing a pro grille with no lights and maybe paint the letters bronze like the new trail edition or the bronze in the stripe on tacozilla.

    But this is what I have now.

    They are SS3 Sport. I like them a lot. they are bright so I can't imagine how much brighter the pro and max are.

    Nice! The pro is a bit overkill for fog lights lol. I can't imagine what the max would be like. I've seen members complaining about people flashing their high beams at them for running the max

    I get flashed with them sometimes too. I think they were a good upgrade and definitely more reasonable than Baja Designs.
    I have issues with people flashing me because my auto high beams don't go off quickly enough some times. I also noticed the other night when I was out driving through podunk that it seems to not work for incoming Amish Buggie lights either but that's a whole different issue.

    Which one is easier to clean the bugs off??? Choose that one.

    Weber makes a good grill. Been using the same one since 1993.

    Where’d you get that front light mount? I like the way it fits around the center valence. :thumbsup:

    I really do like that grille and it doesn't change the stock sensor position from the 2020 sr5 grille. but where can you buy one? and mount the anytime front camera

    good question! Since mine is the stock grille from purchase and I really like it, I found no desire to look for a replacement. I'm sure there are some good knockoffs in the aftermarket community.

    It’s made by Revtek part No: 20016. I ordered it on Amazon but there’s other vendors. Got it for about $250 in 2017.

    Cut the center section out of the Pro grill replace that with the center section of the 2016 SR grill and use the 2020 SR TSS emblem.
