    You could always walk away from that feature I guess. Maybe disconnect the sensors. I’ve never had it so I don’t know what I’m missing.

    Your bumper looks badass. Unfortunately this is a deal breaker for me. Towing anything more than a very small trailer or bike rack might be a bad idea. Unless they could make one that allows a class 3 hitch to be mounted under.

    Based on RCI engineering of their other products, I would trust that hitch more than the factory one.

    Just curious why you would get a bumper that looks stock and heavier to replace the stock bumper? Guess be good replacement bumper if I destroy mine.

    He kept ripping off the expensive crappy plastic "bumper" caps. Same reason I am reading this post and thinking about this bumper. I'm tired of going off road with my "off road" and destroying the bumper from the slightest hits and drags.

    I'd also add it can eliminate the low hanging tow hitch if there one.

    Still a fan of mine after almost a year.

    For those asking questions:
    - The weight of this bumper is every bit as much as the stock setup with the OEM hitch. The combination of all those stock parts get up there in lbs.
    - I got rid of the BSM system to run this bumper. I personally don't miss it. I can always put the sensors and my old bumper back on if I want to.
    - RCI customer service was topnotch. They now do their own powdercoating in-house in order to do proper QC.

    I also went with a metal bumper no swingouts from another company but left the OEM hitch. Multiple times a year I end up towing 4000lbs+ loads and was concerned with going after market. All the hidden hitches make me a little questionable but I'm just overly concerned.

    I realized one more thing I like about this RCI Tacoma rear bumper. It doesn’t say RCI anywhere on it. They have every right to be proud, but keep it stealthy and humble.

    I like the look/fit of this bumper and it would be tough to decide between this one and Mobtown’s.
