2016-2023 Tacoma Apex Pro Style Grille with LED Light Bar & Raptor Lights by YotaTribe

You've been driving your 3rd Gen for years. It runs great, it goes anywhere, and you've built it exactly how you want it — except that stock grille is still telling everyone you didn't get the TRD Pro. One upgrade fixes that.

The Apex Pro is built specifically for the 2016–2023 Tacoma and drops in using your factory mounting clips in about an hour. No cutting, no drilling, no trips to the dealer. And unlike a plain TRD Pro grille at the dealership — which runs $400+ and comes with nothing — the Apex Pro ships with an integrated 20in-LED light bar, triple amber Raptor markers, and a complete plug-and-play wiring harness already in the box.

If you need a front camera bracket please email with your order number so we can include one.

4.8 stars. The most-reviewed grille upgrade for the 3rd Gen.

2016-2023 Tacoma Apex Pro Style Grille with LED Light Bar & Raptor Lights by YotaTribe

Why ours costs more than a bare Amazon grille

Most cheap grilles are a shell. You end up buying the rest piece by piece. Here's the honest difference.

Cheap Amazon grille

Shell only — no lights
Buy the light bar separately
Source your own wiring and harness
Hunt down the right hardware
Figure out the wiring yourself
No support if something's off

YotaTribe complete kit

Grille + LED light bar included
Triple amber raptor markers (optional)
Weatherproof harness and relay in the box
All mounting hardware included
Designed to work together out of one box
Lifetime support from a real person

Your sensors keep working

Every factory sensor stays live — no covers, no workarounds

The Apex Pro is built around your truck's safety tech. Your radar, parking sensors, and front camera all keep working exactly like stock. Nothing is blocked, taped over, or disabled to make the grille fit.

Camera-equipped truck? A free camera bracket is included — it positions your factory front camera correctly behind the new grille, at no extra cost.

Don't have the Pro trim? You can still get the Pro look.

The Apex Pro fits every 2024+ Tacoma trim. You don't need to own a TRD Pro to run the front end of one — SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited all bolt right up.

Questions, answered straight

Where are the install instructions?

A full step-by-step is in the description above, and a printed copy ships in the box. Prefer to watch? Ask us and we'll send the install video walkthrough.

How does the wiring connect — which fuse?

The raptor markers tie into the INJ fuse using add-a-fuse taps (two are needed). The light bar runs to the battery with the included fused relay harness and an in-cab switch. Full steps are in the cheat sheet, and we'll walk you through it if you get stuck.

Will it fit my trim?

Yes — it fits all 2024+ Tacoma trims: SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited. Not sure? Text us your year, model, and trim and we'll confirm before you buy.

Will my safety sensors (TSS) still work?

Yes. Every factory sensor, radar, and camera keeps working like stock — nothing is covered or disabled. Camera-equipped trucks get a free camera bracket in the box.

Can I choose the light color?

Yes. Pick white beam for maximum forward visibility or yellow beam for better contrast in dust, rain, and fog. Amber raptor markers are optional too.

How hard is the install?

Plan on a focused 2-3 hours with basic hand tools. The grille drops into factory placement; the wiring is the involved part. We won't pretend it's a five-minute job — but a real person helps for the life of the product.

How fast do you ship?

Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2 PM PT, Monday-Friday, from Reno, NV.

What if it doesn't fit or I'm not happy?

30-day no-hassle returns from delivery. Item must be in new condition with all hardware and packaging. Email us your order number and we'll send an RMA and prepaid label within one business day.

Customer photo review of 2016-2023 TOYOTA TACOMA TRD PRO GRILL

As an avid hobby mechanic I was leary at first due to the price difference from the OEM replacement. MAN WAS I WRONG!! This is a very quality replacement. Every single piece fit just as it should. All necessary hardware was included. It also included some pretty cool swag. I honestly look forward to my next purchase from Yotatribe!
