Comsidering Adding a Hitch Skid Plate to My Truck: Open To Having a Conversation About the Best Possible Market Options

I have an Underground colored 2024 Toyota Tacoma and the paint when I received this truck was BAD. I’m not sure if it was the dealer prep, transportation, or shipping yard that got their paws on my truck, but it needed some love. I mentioned this in my previous YouTube videos and it seems I’m not the only one who has a Toyota in this color who has had some issues, 4Runner included! My Tacoma was hazy, had swirl marks, and even some micro scratches. I was able to have my detailer do a single stage polish which helped knock down a good majority of the imperfections. Pic was after single stage & ceramic.

Been thinking about getting the hitch skid plates for my truck. It seems like a solid upgrade for protection and off-road durability.

No doubt they do protect the hitch and undercarriage from rocks and rough terrain, which is a big plus for off-roading enthusiasts.

I haven’t installed one yet, though, and I’m wondering if it’s worth it for my truck. The advantages like added strength and peace of mind sound great, but I’m still on the fence.

Would love to chat with anyone who’s installed it on their truck, to know the best place to get a good, reliable hitch skid plate. Any tips on installation or brands to consider?
