Is this a factory tow bar? - SOLVED (2 Viewers)

Sorry for the boring question folks, but I can't find the answer on Google nor searching the archives of this fine place.

I need to replace my rear bumper and in the process would love to get more departure angle - so I'm looking at aftermarket rear bars. I'm unclear if I have a factory towbar or not. Can anyone confirm either way?

Sorry about all the dirt. It's winter and this Island has been a sea of mud for weeks.... but is this a Toyota towbar?

It looks like the factory tow bar I pulled off when I put my Slee bumper on

Thanks Mike. I just noticed the tag plate in my own photo. Somehow I hadn't noticed it in real life (which is a bit dumb) so I gave it a bit of a clean and it says Toyota.

Mystery solved.

Now onto the drama of trying to select a rear bar. It's looking like a $2.5k exercise. Ick.
