bowtie Even better if it's a hidden hitch always hated when the hitch was mostly exposed and looked too obvious. I think now some trucks come with hitch systems.

ExpressDelivery That's what my brother added to his SUV. Never towed a thing with it, but it's there in case someone gently rear ends him. Nothing is going to help if they come at your rear at full speed.

smart.

doing that would have saved me a couple thousand dollars in bills to my local body shop.

webbrowan I agree on having to change an entire set of new doors plus a bumper as compared to just a new bumper alone. I wonder what the purpose of the false lip is because it does not even look appealing at all if that was their objective in the first place. I guess they were trying to make it look compact or “lightweight” without thinking it through thoroughly enough.

Rear bumper protector

The super bumper

Mind you it would not have helped when I got ran in the back of by an idiot in a ford pickup truck in the snow in March while I was stopped at a light.And he had been following me for 5 miles already.
What a moron.

bowtie Just imagine what some insurance companies might think about it if it even crosses their mind.

Holla I think it is a negative that the back has no bumper. If you run into something, or someone else runs into you, it could make for some pretty frustrating damages to the Express. Is there any aftermarket accessory that you can buy to remedy the situation?

bowtie Yeah but it's an added plus that comes with it either way, not something i would ask for, it's not like they will paint it the same color of the body, it will likely be black as well.

agreed, but thats also a minor point considering its a little delivery van. If this was my family sedan absolutely, but its cheaper in black plastic than body color...
