...We are taking chips in the paint on the front of the unit. The paint is thin. We will be spending some bucks for some diamond shield to protect the paint.
I looked at a number of alternatives to stop the rock chips. I decided to try mudflaps and they have solved the problem. Not the stock Ford (or other vendor) truck mounted flaps, but ones that mount in the rear hitch. They cover more area and you can mount them close to the ground to minimize the exposure angle. Much less expensive than diamond plate or Rhino spray on, lighter, and you can remove them when not towing.
