    Rumor is for Toyota Safety sense that will likely be implemented in the 2018MY and beyond.

    The door is in the center bottom. You can see where a few of the windows are solid plastic. That is where it is. I have one on my PRO but have not tried to remove it.

    Hmmm... I just went out and looked at mine, you're right those solid sections look to be some sort of cover on the back of the grill and tapping on it, they move a little... what's the door for??

    Ohhw...hmmm I don't have that.. I don't even know what that is so IF I had it I wouldn't know it.

    Adaptive cruise control... like turning your truck into a sheep and follow the sheep in front of you ...??

    Yeah no... LEDs sounds a lot better.

    I literally just finished installing my new pro grill. I noticed that door too. Mine is kinda sloppy. Rattles around. I was thinking some kind of light mod? One square light in the bottom middle might look strange?
