Am I alone in liking the OR/Sport grille in its stock form?

    I'm sure there are a lot of Marine Biologists out there that like the turd gen grill cause it looks like a Basking Shark coming down the road.

    I don't see the hate for it honestly. It's of course not the best looking grille but it's not that bad. I really don't mind mine as it accents the rest of the chrome. Eventually in a couple of years I will probably change all of that, but it's not an eye sore.

    I like the Quicksilver color but hated the chrome on the grill. It just clashed to me. The dealer swapped in a Pro grill before I bought the truck :)

    The first car I remember in my family was our silver 1978 Toyota Corona. We loved that car, it took our family over Cinamon Pass (Colorado Alpine Loop) back in the mid 80's and on many camping trips.
    When I first saw the 2016 TRD grill I thought of the grill of that great little car.

    So yeah, I guess I do like it in its shiny form for now.

    I like the grill on my 16 Sport. I don't like the size of the holes in it. Looks like it would be too easy for a rock to come through and hole the radiator. I like Sand Shark's grill, though. I'm thinking of taking mine off and putting some sort of mesh as an extra layer of protection.

    I'm sure you could even squeeze out an extra mpg by upgrading

    Cheese head here with a super white. I dislike it because it is the only chrome on the truck. The black/white is such a great contrast then this is just splattered in on the Off-Road. It would look good on the limited with the chrome door handles and mirrors, but limited dosen't get the chrome grill....

    That said anyone with an SR or Limited grill and they want to swap hit me up!

    I believe it's sort of a "generational" type thing. The younger crowd seems to lean toward less/no chrome, while a lot of the older people are just the opposite.

    I like the chrome grill, now get the hell off my lawn.. punk!

    That is why they make the Limited Tacoma, has loads of Chrome and a Hideous Interior, perfect for the Seasoned Citizens.
