About this product
Genuine Toyota TRD Front Skid Plate for 2016-2023 Tacoma
Built for the 3rd-Gen Tacoma owner who refuses to baby their truck. This is the exact OEM plate that ships on every TRD Pro. Featuring 1/4-inch stamped aluminum, silver powder-coated, with bold red TRD lettering.
Why Tacoma owners can’t stop talking about it
- “Saved my oil pan twice already” – threads full of rock-strike photos where the plate took the hit and the truck drove home.
- Zero rattles, zero drama – Toyota’s CAD-tested mounting points + rubber-isolated hardware = silent even at 70 mph on washboard Forest Service roads.
- 10-minute solo install – six factory bolts, four spacers, done. No drilling, no alignment headaches, tow hooks and drain plugs stay 100 % accessible.
- Cooling-safe cutouts – engine bay temps stay stock; owners run Moab in July without a hiccup.
- Aggressive rake – drops the front valance line just enough to make 33s look factory.
