    hi everyone. I’m in the process of looking for a new truck and I’m really close to pulling the trigger on a SR. my question is, is there a sensor on the front grill or bumper that would prevent me from putting a ranch hand bumper on a Tundra? Do the higher end models only come with the frontal crash sensors?

    Thanks in advance

    Welcome. I believe all Toyota trucks in 2018 now come with safety sense and have the sensor you're referring to. I also believe you can still change the bumper.

    The sensor is in the grille.

    Welcome from Arizona. As others have said, the sensor is in the grill - behind the Toyota emblem. As long as the bumper or bar doesn't block the sensor you should be good.
