Too pricy for me, so I'll just stick to the tried and true Trunk Monkey

I was looking for the trunk monkey add-on when I was ordering my truck, either they don't offer it in an XLT, or maybe they just didn't update their website? I guess I'll have to go after market trunk monkey, just don't know if they're as good as the original.

Aftermarket only for liability reasons.....as long as these trucks sit on the lot in Dearborn or KC, the monkey would be dead long before delivery :sneaky:

Not sure about a bed monkey, but the arm rest monkey can be handy

If the little yota can hold it, sure the 150 could too. Some may think it's overkill, but it's really just right

Sure it stops a ton of different rounds but they say nothing about OTA updates ?
ablative and reactive armor are one thing, but I'll pass on any armor that needs updates, whether wired or OTA!

Wonder if you can order the door shock system by itself. I need to step up my pull away as a friend attempts to enter the truck game

Armor easily blows past the GVWR maxed out. They 'recertify' the vehicle's GVWR This is also why 1 tons are a popular starting point so when 3klbs+ of armor is added they don't have to do too much more to it.

I had considered what the layperson might do in a pinch. You can source "AR500" 1/4" steel which generally stops a 308 at 50yards for like 100$ for a 2x2' plate and stuff it in the door. The windows and a mild level of engine protection are the tough part. As it stands, 45acp ball at 30 yards would likely go completely through one set of doors, but might struggle with the front windshield.

Electric Door Shock would be awesome to have. Park the truck with a stack of cash on the dash and laugh out the ass!
