I would imagine this would be accessories installed after the fact. Of course the PIU having a higher GVWR (and payload capacity) is Ford engineering anticipating that the PIU would need to carry additional gear than a retail Explorer.
But not all PIUs are outfitted with a lot of gear. A lot of ours were purchased due to cost and are used for investigative purposes rather than for reactive responses or working the road.
If you’re gonna do a RSB…and you definitely should…just do the Steeda or AFe or whatever. These cars like a lot of rear bar and any of the aftermarket options will net you better results than the still smallish PIU bar.
