    What do you have against purses?
    Give me a purse with a lot of money in it, I'll wear the hell out of it.

    Not mine. It was an XLT. That's what the milk crate was for.

    Or, try Pilates or Thai Chi. 3 minute planks in the morning help too...

    You’re not going to find much sympathy here - if a bumper corner cutout is as big a deal for you as you’re acting like, that’s on you for not noticing such an obvious thing before buying

    Bumper cutout steps that sit only 3” below the tailgate are effectively useless. If you can reach that you can reach the tailgate. A retracting bed step is far better for easily stepping into the bed.

    Probably why bed steps are available for most any truck that has a place to mount one.

    If the OP can afford a new taco then they can afford this. But if not I will gladly buy it if OP goes away.

    poke all the fun ya want... just sayin' it is form over function (what, it 'costs' maybe .05 mpg for an old school bumper? but that wouldn't be as pretty for the responder worried about his pursue (or purse to most of us) - it may be ok w y'all but not with me. Someone suggested I should not buy it - unfortunately I did and'll sell it as soon as the time is right. Not selling my F250 and may look for a Nissan 2nd gen D40 (what my Tacoma replaced)... Frontier is not as <<insert almost any adjective here***>> as a new tacoma.

    *** any adjective, except functional, dependable
