    That P/N is just for the grille surround ... it doesn’t include the grille.

    I did the longer pro harness for mine, glad I did .... it fits perfectly and all of the wire stand off clips are already there and in the right spot for the new grille.

    Would anyone mind posting a couple links to the grille and garnish they used to do the swap. I want to make sure I’m buying something that I know works and not some knock off that might not work. Thanks.

    here's garnish I have https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-2019-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

    and the grill https://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Bump...E/253956515456?hash=item3b20fce680:rk:16:pf:0

    I've driven in rain and snow and had no issues with TSS or ACC. It's stopped me several times and works just as well as the original grill I had

    Just thought I'd post an update with some pics. I made a trip up north in crappy weather and had zero problems with my faux pro grill and garnish. Worked perfectly the entire trip, sped up, slowed down, stopped, etc. all without throwing any errors.

    Can you upload photos of the grill on your truck and links to which one you brought. I also have a 2019 and want to order one that I know will be good. Thanks

    Can someone post other links to eBay grilles they used! Just curious if one is better than the others. Should I stay away from some?

    The TSS-P system works fine as long as you also buy the "garnish" theres some fake garnishes on ebay though I don't know about those...
    and the grill has to be a "good" fake, I had a shitty cheap one from ebay that did not fit the OEM garnish.

    I tried the eBay pro grill and I had nothing but problems. Fit was meh not great not terrible. I had to end up modifying the grill to get the tss cover to fit. TSS sensor threw a trouble code every time I started the car. Could of been the TSS cover I purchased? But I ended up getting a good deal on a OEM pro grill. Threw it on no issues since. I ran the harness into the holes made for it with no problems.

    Finally getting time to add photos. I went around and around with the dealer trying to get a OEM grille. You have to have a PRO vin number. However it made my truck look 210% better!!!!! I love it. Only took about 20 mins to install.

    OEM Grille—-Dealer: $240
    OEM Garnish—-eBay: $51


    Also added the Eye Catcher lettering to the Tailgate.

    none yet
    I'm just now finding that this is an issue on the 2019 Tacoma. I have the 19 Tacoma TRD off road. Bought it a week ago. Replaced the grill with a pro grill with the pro grill shield for the sensor. Since then, my pre-collision system is malfunctioning. Can't use cruise control either. I see updates as early as a couple weeks ago now saying this is an issue with the sensor since each trim model it's own calibrated sensor. Since the Pro sensor sits lower it doesn't work correctly. I'm going to run by the dealership in the morning and ask but I'm sure I just wasted a lot of money and time upgrading my grill only to be told that some major parts of the truck no longer work. Frustrating especially since they had a 2019 Tacoma just like mine with lots of mods on the showroom floor that had the Pro grill. Misleading to say the least.
