Toyota is selling a catalytic converter guard for the new Prius.
and it's offered as part of Toyota's new Associated Accessories Products program, a line of 3rd-party products offered at Toyota dealers. The catalytic converter shield for the Prius costs $140, plus the cost of installation. Toyota dealers can fit the guard, though as installation requires no drilling, customers can install it themselves if they're so inclined.
Cat Shield offers a number of other catalytic converter guards for popular Toyota models and the automaker confirmed tothat it's offering shields for the Tundra, Sequoia, Tacoma, 4Runner, Corolla, and RAV4, with more to come. Frankly, this seems like a no-brainer to us. A quick search of Toyota's parts site shows that catalytic converters for 2022 model-year generally cost over $1000, and trucks like the Tundra need two at nearly $1500 a piece. That's before installation and the headache of having your car out of commission while it's fixed. Perhaps a resourceful and determined thief could cut through the shield, but they'd more likely just move on to an easier target.
