Very smart from a production view. I thought it was a bit screwy that I needed to have a receiver hitch added as a $75 option. I'm glad it's now standard, truly. I got what I wanted and have no regrets for being a trailblazer!

"We can add additional 2" receivers on the rear bumper for a charge of $75 for each one. Please note the rear bumper will still only be rated for 150 lbs."
But given their demand and backlog, I completely understand their need to cut special requests and streamline production. My original interest also was a more stable base for a large rear utility box similar to (but much smaller than) the one I saw in these photos from an earlier thread. (Are those Battleship Gray graphics?)

My info direct from Reace was from when I was there on Dec 19. I was disappointed, but did understand. A box similar to what you posted is what I was thinking of, something to put a couple bulky things in as opposed to putting them in the truck box.
