I love it. Very solid. 3241421

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.” 600352

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! 3212108

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. 704085

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. 3626161

It mounted very easy specifically to my truck. I have not had a use for it yet, which is good, but I've referred several individuals to E trailer that liked it. 3372326

Well made and easy to install. Hopefully last a long time 3223633

Amazing product. Westin always struggles with clear and easy to follow instructions. etrailer online install video is always the reliable go to. 1531866

Great quality, finish is holding up excellent despite abuse. Another bit of information to note: if you have the chrome mesh grill (Denali style) it will require modification and not install per the instructions. 568542

I love my grill guard. Now I am thinking I may want to attach some lights to it. 1320380
