    Looking at getting a TRD Pro Grill for the 2019 TRD Sport. Just got the truck last Monday. There's a bunch of shops and different pricepoints. Looking specifically for an all black TOYOTA lettering and if the price is right one with 4 Amber lights. I'll also need the kit that has the easiest way to connect the lights to the fusebox as I've never done that. Anybody have recommendations for best bang for your buck, quick shipping, and easiest/friendliest install instructions? I've never installed this before but have watched lots of youtube videos on how to do it.

    Thanks

    Most of everything on the market is pretty comparable but I would also recommend oem. I get all my parts from Mike Calvert Toyota online

    I doubt you'd have any trouble from any reputable company. The OEM is rather expensive for what it is (3x the cost).

    My 25 year old Weber Genesis grill is still going strong! Looks like shit after being outside for a quarter century, but that thing cooks a bad ass steak!

    And my Taco pro grill is a cheap knockoff and it works great too!

    The tacogarage one looks pretty legit but can be found on ebay for less, just need to look through a bunch of listings. If wanted to save even more (but more searching and wait time) would be alibaba.

    The camera is what is going to keep you from finding one that isnt OEM. All the aftermarket ones are good for the TSS, but not the camera. Just installed one on my 2019 from Amazon, bought an inexpensive garnish and it(and the grill) fit perfectly, looks great and the TSS works perfectly as well( ask me how i know). I think it was the MC Auto one.
