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

I don’t understand poverty buttons. One of the biggest reasons I went with the TRD Off-Road upgrade package was to avoid the sea of blank switches. Honestly, I don’t get why Toyota leaves them there if the feature isn’t included. Why tease us with the empty spots? Even with the off-road upgrade package, there are still empty buttons. It was actually one of the main reasons I upgraded trims in the first place. At the time, I didn’t even care what the buttons did, I just didn’t want to be taunted every day by reminders of what I could’ve had. I’m not even sure what features I’m missing out on. Now that I actually go off-road with the truck, I use the accessory wiring and axle lock, but somehow I still only have the one button on the main console. How much do you actually have to spend to not be reminded daily of what you missed? And what features am I even missing out on with this package?

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?
