The component situated at the back of a specific model year of a compact pickup truck, manufactured by a Japanese automobile company, serves primarily as protection during rear-end collisions. It is a horizontally mounted bar, typically constructed of steel or chrome, designed to absorb impact and minimize damage to the vehicle’s body.
This structural element plays a crucial role in vehicle safety by mitigating the severity of potential damage in low-speed impacts. It also provides mounting points for trailer hitches and serves as a step for accessing the truck bed. Over time, it may be subject to corrosion or damage, requiring repair or replacement to maintain both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
