    That piece is mounted at top of the center rail behind the cab to align the factory tonneau cover.

    You got kids? Maybe they were walking on the tonneau cover? Have you removed the cover recently? To me, it shouldnt break so easy but i guess cheap enough to replace...

    Mine also broke recently. Dealer is ordering me a new one. The part can't handle the bumps of daily driving.

    My understanding is that you lose around 5hp but other than that it should be okay without it.:D

    lol. looks like its just to align the factory tonneau cover but doesnt have any structural use for it so I think it should be okay also.
