The thought of driving uninsured just blows my mind. My ex-brother-in-law gave me his car to use one weekend while my sister and him used my car (re. road worthy because I look after my stuff) to go to their parents place. I did not find out there was no insurance on it until after they got back (license plates were valid). I was LIVID and tore a strip off both of them for not telling me there was no insurance. If I had known, I would have just used my bike to get to there I needed to go that weekend. I should have known something was up when it had a screwdriver for the signal light stick.

Up here, if you have a valid license plate, you have insurance.

Sorry I can't help you find what you are looking for. I have never seen one of those before on a regular pickup truck.....

A backup alarm is a good idea too
HAHAHAHAHA!!!...me too!

Sure glad your OK pull-do. Man those Texas drivers are a bad bunch!
I had a simular rearend a few years back. The body shop told me my hitch kept her from doing a lot more damage to my truck. Her camry was totaled though.

I used to have a nice LED lit hitch cover with the Dodge Ram emblem. Then some idiot in a parking lot hit it and cracked it and dented my bumper. Of coarse he/she didn't bother to try and make things right, they just left the scene. So now I keep this in my hitch unless I'm towing the camper.

one option

This is a bit expensive, but seems to do what you are looking for.

It takes two parts, first the crash protections

the superbumper looks rather nice. step and bumper. Lifetime replacement if damaged.

the other is a lower hitch position

this lowers the hitch location 8 inches
