    The denzo website says these both work, but which one do I pick? What would be the Toyota part number of these?

    thanks.

    Without actually going to the website and looking, I’d say it’s the materials and electrode that are different.

    In my experience, you are better off sticking with factory recommended plugs on the Toyota truck engines.

    Would the other one work?
    Probably would work just fine. But why use it unless you need too?

    weird, and they both fit? That doesn’t make sense they would recommend them both.

    Yes, they both fit.
    Whether one is better than the other only applies to vehicles that need a “better” plug.

    If your truck needed the other plug. It would have come in it from the factory.

    In the case of the 2GR, the difference will be price. You won’t gain anything from using the other plug.

    BTW, The difference in the 2 is the style of ground electrode.
