    Hi guys,

    Just upgraded from a CRV! Been wanting a truck for the longest time.
    2015 DCSB OR. Think I'm in love!

    I was wondering if anyone here knows, I feel like I'm missing something in. The front, it looks like there should have been something there?
    It looks like these brackets would snap off if I were to go off-roading.

    Welcome! And congrats on the new truck!

    Those brackets are not stock. I would guess they are setup to flat tow behind an RV or something similar.

    Thank! I guess I can see a front tow hitch or something.

    I also saw online they have a front skid plate add on, is that additional to what I currently have?

    Thanks!

    For the skid plate, yes. It is the TRD skid plate and is really more for show than actual use.
