With the JT's departure angle, they could call that the rear bumper skid plate option.
The newer tow packages tend to be pretty good bang for your buck options.

I would just say trucks with a high payload ride like a truck.
Trucks uses to be built to tow stuff, haul stuff and be a truck.......... now they are more car ride like, thanks mostly to Urban Cowboy........
The powerhouse 2.8 Chevy V-6 with a 5 spd. manual used the 3.73 .

I guess my back owes Travolta a thank you letter.
The pinnacle of gm engineering. 4 cyl power and v8 fuel economy
And here I thought Toyota got that first with the 3.5 V6 in the 3rd gen Tacomas.
At least Toyota paired it with an automatic transmission that selected gears like my wife chooses restaurants.
Me: I'd like second gear please
Tacoma Transmission: I don't really feel like second gear right now. Not really sure what gear I want.

Yeah , and yet was still more powerful than what Jeep could offer in 1984 . The one we had in a Wagoneer Limited was reliable and could get 20 m.p.g. in the mountains. However it was a total dog .

So manually shift the thing - or is it one of those modern abominations that just has PRND and nothing else?
It has a button for ECT, kind of like a sport mode.
The 6 speed automatic in them is a known dog and shifts terribly.
I test drove one once and the salesman smoothly and discretely pressed the ECT button before he let me drive it.
When I got in the driver seat I immediately turned it back off.
You could see the salesman deflate.
Our 94 XJ with a 242 and a AX-15 could get 26 m.p.h . highway . With the 3.07 axles 2000 r.p.m. was 73 m.p.h.
The AW-4 killed mileage .
If I can't shift it manually, I don't want it. My old MBZ has a 4 speed auto - with 3 positions on the shift lever. Drives me NUTS! I drove a new Ford about 10 years ago with an 8 speed or 10 speed or somesuch. You could shift it manually, or let the auto do its thing. 95% of the time, I just let the auto do its thing, but I want options. But 95% of the time, I partially downshift when slowing down.
You clearly never rode in my 89' Pioneer 4 banger on the highway. Lucky you.
p.s. It did last over 300,000 miles with zero issues (other than zero power with the AC on).

That was fancy compared to the 3.slow in my old 91 4Runner. The only V6 that has less resale value than the four cylinder in the same vehicle.
Another good example of 4 cyl power and v8 mileage
Thank "you know who" for that.Trucks uses to be built to tow stuff, haul stuff and be a truck.......... now they are more car ride like, thanks mostly to Urban Cowboy aka FJB........
Same guy?
