Description
The Mishimoto MMLP-TAC-16 License Plate Relocation Kit is built specifically for the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma, moving the factory front plate out of the way of the cooling stack. Machined from 3mm-thick aluminum and finished in a black powder coat, this bracket addresses a real airflow problem created by the stock plate location on these trucks. It’s a piece of Mishimoto exterior styling designed to work alongside the bumper hardware Tacoma owners actually run.
By relocating the license plate, this Mishimoto kit allows unimpeded airflow to reach the transmission cooler, AC condenser, and radiator, helping these components operate at peak efficiency. The bracket offers multiple mounting options and is repositionable, so it clears space for bumper-mounted accessories such as winches or light bars. Installation requires no cutting or drilling, and the kit includes stainless-steel mounting hardware along with a Mishimoto license plate frame for a clean, finished look. The relocation kit is backed by Mishimoto’s Lifetime Warranty.
