2017 Toyota Tacoma

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.”

I ordered this grille guard, and it arrived by freight carrier on time. Nice build quality! However it would not fit my particular model of truck. I only figured this out after I took the front of my truck apart. I contacted etrailer for the return and with great difficulty I had to drag the box into my basement to dry out because it rained after I set the box outside thinking I was going to throw it away, I repacked the grille guard, bought straps to secure the thing to the pallet, bought two rolls of packaging tape to repair the box I opened with a razor knife, had to hunt around town for a suitable pallet as the original freight carrier took the pallet with him, enlisted the help of a friend to help me repackage the grille guard, then waited a whole afternoon for the freight carrier to show up for the return because dispatch didn’t call with an estimated arrival time like the original freight carrier did. Now mind you, I’m a 70 year old disabled veteran who’s not supposed to lift more than a jug of milk, but the task at hand was completed. But the build quality of the grille guard was excellent. I would love to add a photo of the completed installation, but I had to send the grille guard back. I do have a photo of it sitting in my garage. Fortunately for me, I have a friends that are willing to help me when I get into a pickle. I have to mention though, that the customer service was excellent, and William deserves to have someone buy him a beer for all of his hard work bird dogging this whole evolution. Thanks William!

We chose this particular guard because we like the design over other brands for the Tahoe application. This is a 2020 Tahoe Premier RST. Grill guards are popular here in rural Texas even on cars and SUVS because they are known to at least sometimes help minimize vehicle damage during highway impacts. Turkey buzzards, hawks, feral pigs and deer are a constant presence on our rural public roads. We like the way it fits and the tubing is even heavier than the Ranch Hand on our farm trucks. We are very happy with this product.

This thing is a beast! I will say the installation on a 2026 needs a new installation video. The directions go up to 2025. It fits the 2026 perfectly but there are a few things that get tricky with the sensor wiring. Had to take it back apart drill holes to get the wires into a place they could be reached. I had an install Tick do the job so not exactly sure what he had to do but I know he had to take it back off and read drill holes. Once one. Bad ass.

Okay, that looks pretty awesome! Definitely worth the extra effort to get it installed. Thank you for letting us know about the instructions, sometimes old instructions still find their way into the box. It's good to know so we can check out our stock.

Hardware Kit for Westin HDX Grille Guard that Fits 2012 Ram 2500

What Mounting Brackets Are Compatible With Westin Grille Guards For My 2007 Dodge Ram 3500
The Westin grille guards may look the same, but if this grille guard did not come from a 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup, it will not fit. The dimensions of your grille guard must be the same in order for the mounting brackets and the hardware to fit. Unfortunately, per Westin, there are no identifying marks or product stamps on the Westin grille guards to indicate their model. There are three styles of Westin grille guards that are compatible with your 2007 Dodge Ram 3500. The first two are Westin...

Assuming you have the Westin HDX # 57-3550 or # 57-3555 Grille Guard, you'll need the # 57-355PK replacement hardware kit. I looked up the vehicle fits, and the 2018 Ram 3500 and the 2014 2500 use the same HDX Grille Guards. Keep in mind that not only are the hardware kits vehicle specific, but the Grille Guards are as well to a large degree, so it's important that you know for sure that the HDX Grille Guard came from a compatible vehicle. The # 57-229PK kit is for a HDX Grille Guard...

Can Factory Tow Hooks be Used with Westin HDX Grille Guard # 57-3555 on 2018 Ram 2500
The Westin HDX Grille Guard # 57-3555 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2018 Ram 2500. You will indeed get to retain the use of the factory tow hooks on your Ram with the grille guard installed. I confirmed this with my contact at Westin. The hooks sit inside where the mounting brackets for the grill guard will be so there won't be any interference. I have attached the complete installation instructions that you can also take a look at.

Compatibility of Front Mounted Hitch and Brush Guard on 2018 Ram 3500

For your hitch I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65063 which will attach at the tow hooks of your Ram. This will give you an extremely clean look on your truck and is a simple installation. The issue is the grille guards also attach at this same location, so manufacturers will tell you they are not...

Will Westin Grille Guard from 2016 Ram 1500 Fit a 2500
Unfortunately, not only are the bracket kits vehicle specific, but the grille guards are as well which means that the Westin Grille Guard you have wouldn't be a fit for your Ram 2500, which has been confirmed by Westin. The # 57-229PK is a bracket kit for the HDX Grille Guard for a Chevy. For an HDX Guard with Punch Plate for your 2016 Ram 2500, I'd recommend # 57-3550 for polished stainless or # 57-3555 for black powder coated steel.

There are two versions of the Westin HDX Grille Guard, those that come with the winch mount and those that do not. If you will be adding a winch in the future then you will want to go with the winch mount option as you cannot add this feature to the other version if needed.

As you can see by the accompanying photo, this guard sits close to the headlight and wraps around it.

What Grille Guard Fits My 2017 Ram 1500?
I have a great option for you. Unfortunately, since we do not carry Ranch Hand grille guards, there is no way to tell for sure if a guard from a 2019 Ram 1500 fits on a 2017 Ram 2500. With that being said, particular models of grille guards and mounting hardware rarely can be transitioned from one year/make/model of truck to another. This is because manufacturers make particular guards and hardware for specific years/makes/models of vehicles. With this factor, it can be extremely frustrating...

Front Hitch and Grille Guard that Fits 2017 Ram 3500
Based on how the EcoHitch front hitch # 306-X7900 installs on your 2017 Ram 3500 it could fit with the Westin HDX grille guard # 57-3555. It's very rare a front hitch and grille guard can install at same time but in this situation it worked out.

Is Trimming Required to Install Westin HDX Grille Guard on a 2010 Dodge Ram 2500
There is minor trimming required on the lower valance for the bottom brackets on a 2010 Dodge Ram 2500. However since it is the lower valance and the view of it would be blocked by the grille guard anyway the trimming should not be noticeable. I have included a link to all of the grille guards that fit your truck.
