    Yes. From my experience it’s just as good as OEM.

    I see no reason to pay OEM price.

    Is the paint/coating just as good?

    I got mine for $308 to include shipping from PrestigeToyota in NY.

    Lou is the Parts Service Department manager who hooked me up!

    I also bought my 2021 Christmas gifts for my Taco from there--bed mat/bed lights/wheel locks.

    @TwinTaco31719

    That's a decent price but like was said, if you wait...maybe you could get it for $70 less?

    EDIT: $300 was an acceptable price on OEM for me.

    Coating seems to be holding up just fine after multiple hits.

    Nice. Hmm I’ll have to think on it honestly. $100-140 difference for OEM

    I don’t know if I would wait to save $40. The way inflation is going and I suspect all this free shipping will end. iMHO

    IMHO it’s a no brainer getting the knock off one, unless you don’t support made in China products.

    Have seen for a little less from some dealers. Lostar or eBay is less and just as good in my opinion

    I bought an open box new one on Amazon for $315. I'd say it's a good deal

    For sure. It’s still aluminum and it’s pretty tough to get an aluminum skid plate for that price

    Looks to me like the folks who snitch tailgates and converters are missing an easy part. They need a 3 person crew to drop it all at once though.
