Poor Rear Bumper Design - needs a recall

Nice car, but the body panels (specifically the rear bumper) need to be redesigned. (see below). I am already having to replace it before I've even made my first payment, and Toyota is out of the part because it is in high demand because is a common problem with their current design.

From 2010-2013 are a bit limited in aftermarket attention compared to 2014+ but these OG 5th Gen are reliable, sturdy, and truly reflect their return to Baja1000 roots. With my KDSS and some moderate/ clean alterations, I am happy to have built a small tank that covers just about any terrain presented. The only downside is how gutless (not fast) 4runners are when it comes to acceleration but I'll trade that all day for my awesome low end torque when needed out in the rugged space. If you wanna drag race buy a sportscar.

Why is Toyota Going Backwards??

Had to purchase a replacement 2011 4Runner for my 2005 4Runner Sport Ed. due to damages from a body shop. I have to ask " What is Toyota thinking??" 1) This vehicle is severely under powered! Take off feels like being in 4 cylinder car w/ full power a/c 2) No gas latch / security 3) No cargo cover included w/ vehicle, Expensive purchase at $153.00 + tax or shipping/handling. 4) Lightning in the cargo are is crap, all lighting was installed on the back door. Non are actually in the cargo area/ Where you will actually be using. 5) Removed automatic back latch, have to slam down. 6) Why is a newer vehicle getting lower gas mileage than an older version?? 05 4Runner 19 new 17?? Really!!
Dependable
