    Trims on either side of sport don't have it. So it was an option.

    I am mostly street driver...

    Hence my decision to purchase the Sport.

    It also resembles the 3rd Gen TRD Pro; minus the wheels...but that model rivals the Off-Road.

    Exactly - the key is YOUR truck came with a Pro grill. I know I'm being judgmental - I have even been called a judgmental prick in this forum so there is that. But the Pro grill is a nice grill it's just that it seems every Taco that changes out their grill goes with a Pro grill. OK that's not very original and honestly like someone else on here said it's a cool kid thing - but if you like them and don't have one then put one on your Sport or Off Road, SR5 or whatever - to be it looks like being a wannabe. But honestly DOT clearance lights meant for a BIG truck more than 80" wide look stupid on not even a full size truck.

    They all suck, it's over played and now I see them on everything. I thought it was neat at first, but it looks SAF!

    Sexy As F%#K? lol

    My adult kids use the term/text "AF" as I've underlined above....is that what you meant? Or is it something else?

    And when I say "adult kids" I'm talking 30+ years of age.

    Now...about the thread title/subject matter...

    The amount of personal feedback conveyed on something that isn't yours/doesn't belong to anyone other than the owner is astounding!

    I'll be on this board 4 years come September...and I've seen quite a bit in that time.

    All of us on TW make our own decisions...it's these type of threads where the subject invokes permission to body slam something just because ONE doesn't like the appearance?

    I'll stick around and stay positive...which is the boundary/lane I'm trying to stay on...but it's tough...I gotta admit.
