Whatever you say buddy. I'm realistic, and just looking for something to protect the rear bumper from inconsiderate people who don't know how to parallel park, accidentally backing into something in a parking lot at low speed, etc. Have no expectations, nor did I purchase it to prevent damage from a low speed collision, but I know you just had to reply with a douchey comment, since that's what most of you guys here in the 3rd Gen forum who don't even own a 3rd Gen tend to do. And as far as it causing MORE damage at a slow reared collision compared to not having it on there at all...really?

BlueT will be along shortly to complain that Toyota should have included this as a free option on our 2016's.

Merry Christmas

It wasn't a douchey comment. This product would not have protected the OP at all. So I thought it was an odd reccomendation on your part. I think it's more likely someone would hit you off center than on center so it wouldn't offer much protection.
All my "accidental" bumper damage has been on the side and it would be cured by not letting people drive my truck.

A douchey comment would be me saying I'd rather have a damaged bumper than a dumb looking step back there.

If we are talking about actually preventing damage then go for a fab bumper. This step will be useless for a lot of hits. Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm making a douchy comment.
