    I have a 2019 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner dbl cab and park under a metal carport with poles on the passenger side. The curve of the hood makes it nearly impossible to gauge how close I am to the supports. Is there anything out there in the aftermarket that I can clamp to my fender or elsewhere that will alert me when I get too close. Ideas Pls!

    This is my fourth Toyota product. The first was a 1973 Toyota Corolla Wagon, another Corolla Wagon, a 2015 PreRunner and now the one listed above. I'm retired and haven't family to help out so I love my trucks. Very pleased with both Tacomas.

    Still thinking about it.
    I don't know but JC Whitney used to sell what we called curb feelers. Like what the lowrider guys put on their cars back in the 80s.

    a google search for curb feelers shows what I had in mind.

    When my wife used to drive my long box f150 she'd use the surveillance camera from my porch on her phone to help her. Worked like a charm!

    Maybe a shorty style antenna you can mount to the bumper corners (kind of like the curb feeler idea, just facing up). Depending on how you mounted them, they could just be unscrewed when not needed.
