I ran across these magnetic scratch protectors for door handles somewhere in this forum, or another.
Cupeez Cover Guards
Pretty effective at stopping the build up of finger nail or jewelry scuffs under the handle. I haven't lost one yet (crosses fingers).
I had not thought about that, with summer now here in Texas I now miss the crotch blower on my '03 Tundra. I mean, I still have that rig, but not a daily driver ;)
I dig the Redarc mounting as well. I have a Curt 51170 with included 2 side tape - on steering column for now. Some day I will work up the courage to drill a hole in the console for seamless mounting.
I pull a similar sized 1780 Winnie with an '18 SR5 and it's plenty capable. You won't forget...
