    Hey TW, l'm looking for a rear bumper for mall crawling crash protection that looks as subtle and stock as possible. So far my favorite is the Fab Fours Rear Bumper Non Sensor. The description says "Rear bumper ties into the factory receiver. 2016-2019 truck must have tow package in order to complete bumper installation". Since I have the 2020 SR w/ utility package ("poverty package"), my Taco didn't come with towing package. Can this bumper still be installed? If not, what the part number for the OEM hitch so I can instlal myself?

    Any other recommendations for sturdy rear bumpers primarily for crash protection with low-profile subtle factory look? Taco doesn't have blind spot monitoring so no need for the four cutout holes. Don't want it to stand out. My second choice is the Victory 4x4 but it's a bit flashy and I really don't like the logo.

    Thanks in advance!

    You'll have to buy the OEM rear hitch plus splice into the harness for the lights to tow. The easier thing would to just buy a rear bumper that doesn't need the oem hitch.

    BAMF are some of the best.

    Thanks, I really like the BAMF rear bumper. I'm confused about which bumpers require the OEM hitch. What exactly is the OEM hitch anyway? What's the part number for 2020 SR 4cyl? Found this TW thread but the part discussed is $1000 lol. And it's for 2nd gen. Look at the install video, I think my truck has the "flattened U" shaped bar, need to look tomorrow in the daylight. But definitely doesn't have the square opening.

    Following up, ordered the Victory 4x4 Strike but I'm worried if it will fit. Fab Fours requires the factory tow package, so I asked them for pictures of what is required. I went to look at my truck and it only has 2/4 bolts they have. I'm not sure if the V4x4 Strike requires all 4. The install video shows all 4 bolts and the mounting bracket has the matching 4 bolt holes. I've attached the two pictures Fab Fours shared with me and what my truck has. Obviously having 2/4 bolts won't be as strong, but how much less strong would it be?
