    Hey guys. Just got rear ended; my trailer hitch took the bulk of the hit and bent back towards the spare. Bumper has to be replaced as well and probably a bed respray. Any recommendations on a new plate bumper? On my Tacoma I had a Mobtown off-road bumper and loved it but don’t know what people recommend in the tundra world. Thanks!

    If it bent the hitch I'd look real close to make sure the frame didn't get tweaked a bit.

    Bobby,
    In almost every case I have heard of where the hitch was bent down significantly, it was damaging to the frame. There’s multiple cases, on here, where the bent frame dictated a “total” loss.
    I’m sure that other members will chime in.

    Yea that was actually one of my first thoughts as well but it’s not that much of a bend. Very hard to see in pics. What do you guys think? I’ll still get it checked out
