2018 Toyota Tacoma Grill Guard Compatible with TSS Sensor
Question:
Which grill guards work with the TSS sensors on the front of the Tacoma?
asked by: Troy
Expert Reply:
I actually had the chance to install and test out the Aries Pro Series Grille Guard with Mesh LED Cover Plate # AAP2068 on a similar 2019 Toyota Tacoma and can confirm it does not interfere or trigger the TSS (Toyota Safety Sense) radar sensor, located behind the Toyota emblem. Even with the sensitivity turned all the way up, it did not flash any kind of message on the dashboard or produce any beeping sounds at about 25 mph. According to the owner's manual, the TSS sensor, which comes stock on 2018 and newer Toyota Tacomas, should kick in at around 7 mph.
A feature that sets this grill guard apart from similar ones on the market is the integrated cover plate and included mounting brackets that let you easily add an LED light bar, like # AA1501264.
The installation is super easy, thanks to the custom vehicle mounting brackets that use some of the existing factory bolts on your Tacoma. What I really like about the Pro Series Grille Guard is that it uses 4 contact points, two at the bottom and two toward the top. This really makes a difference when it comes to stability. Other brands only attach at the bottom, which can cause the grille guard to rattle when going down the highway. You will not experience any of this with the # AAP2068.
