On some other stuff:
rear bumper: check ebay. Only Toyota makes one, but sometimes they're on there cheap. The rear bumper is braced pretty well for light towing.

For towing, the T100 is OK. it's sufficiently wide and long, but a little light and under powered. I tow betwen 3500 and 4700 lbs regularly with no problems, though I'm thinking about stiffening the rear suspension.

I have a tekonsha prodigy P3 brake controller (a good brake controller is a must for any reasonable amount of towing) and recently added a transmission cooler.

I've never had any problems towing or been at all concerned with how it handled. I've towed a lot and with a lot of vehicles, and just to say it again, a very good (not just a run of the mill auto zone) brake controller is the most critical.
