Best 2017 Toyota Tacoma Grille Guards

Very sturdy, looks great and I get a TON of compliments on it. It’s a perfect fit for a 24 trd off road and I guarantee if I had it on my old truck when I hit that deer last year I’d still be driving my old truck for sure!

The Grill Guard looks great however it does cause an issue with the Toyota Safety sensor. The grill guard blocks the sensor and this causes the safety feature to not work. After driving for a few moments the sensor will go back on But then will shortly go back off, everything else if great.

It was a really nice looking grill. It fit snug and tight. The only thing I didnt like about it, no matter how tight it was installed, it fibrated like a pitch fork in the wind and I felt vibration around 60 to 70 miles per hour on the free way. I got rid of it after 3 months. Not sturdy enough to protect from hitting a deer, probably just bend it up and your truck as well.

Very happy with this product. etrailer kept me well informed , and I will be doing business with them again.Thank you George J and Wayne.

Fun Good easy install. Use a nut and bolt spray to loosen the toe hooks prier to install.

This the review I posted on TacomaWorld about the grill: “I had purchased a HD Steelcraft grille guard, via Carid, for my 2017 Tacoma, but it was not received in acceptable condition (from manufacturing and shipping). After being refunded I purchased a HDX Westin, grille guard, via etrailer. First, I have to say the Westin was much more difficult in install; luckily I had a buddy with more experience on such projects, more patients and the right tools. The instructions covered several years of Tacomas and were poorly written and illustrated. With that said the packaging from Westin was far superior than that of Steelcraft’s. Westin had every part covered by cardboard cut to fit. Under the cardboard the grille guard had been wrapped in foam. The likelihood of the grille being damaged was very unlikely. On the other hand the Steelcraft only had foam and bubble wrap around it with a thin leather like covering around it all on the outside. Before even unpacking the Steelcraft it could be seen were the corners of the up rights had cut through the wrapping. As mentioned the quality of the grille was poor. There were places where it had not been powder coated, the powder coating on the punch out was sloppy and one of the up rights appeared to have been damaged before it had even been wrapped. The Westin was made of thicker and wider steel. Both grilles were one piece units. The Steelcraft bolted to the frame using vertical bolts, which seemed to me could be sheared off on impact, while the Westin grille bolted on horizontally. Steelcraft looked good the way the upper part of the guard turned inward to follow the upper part of the grille, and the Westin upper part turn outward following the angle of the lower part of the grille. The Westin offered more protection. If you were to hit something the wider spread of the Westin uprights seem like they would protect more. The uprights on the Steelcraft were just powder coated medal, but the uprights on the Westin had a nice rubber strip over them, well suited for pushing another vehicle. The Westin cost more, but worth it. Just make sure you’re very patient and having a pass though socket is a great help since there is very limited room to work under the bumper on the upper bolts. And Steelcraft’s warranty is two years while Westin’s is three years.”

Great product, installation was about an hour. Looks great on my 2018 Toyota Tacoma double cab.

I am very satisfied with the product, it enhanced the safety and look of my truck.

Ordered this for my 2019 Toyota Tacoma. Shipping was fast and what ever you are paying George is not enough. Install was ok. Biggest issue I had was trying to get to the bumper support brackets. I had to go through the engine bay to really get to them. After that, install was pretty easy, do highly suggest looking at the install procedures through here. This is only because you can get color pictures, the black and white ones on the instructions you get is unclear. After I installed, I took the truck out to test to see if the sensors were blocked in anyway. Anti collision, lane departure and cruise worked fine. So I didn't need to relocate anything.
