    How does the bumper that's like 1 inch off the ground not get destroyed?

    It doesn't. I know that was rhetorical. I'm going to replace mine with metal, plastic is just too brittle.

    Mine got started by hitting a coyote in MA. then I hit a frozen drift when I got lost in Montreal :/ So now it looks like it's chewing on a stogie.

    Stay away from possums, hit one, and you could total the truck. ;-)

    Doh! I thought you were being sarcastic about the bumper on the '12. I haven't really noticed too much about the new ones, Aggie gets jealous.

    Imagine hitting a good sized meat ball like a possum? One of those would tear the entire front end off! LOL!
