I teach at an Elementary school, at least the kids find it cool when the truck is muddy, dusty, or filled with goodies for camping. Adults look at me like I am three headed. Oh well.
I bought a set of these from Sierra Expeditions. A great way to not lose a valve caps or at least drop one in the mud and sand. They seal if your valve core fails, so no flat tire. Less than $20.....

I would go with the hitch receiver and a D ring in the rear. Most factory tow points are really tie down points for shipment and towing. As for your front I could not help you with a suggestion.
I owned a Dodge Dakota. Bought it on a good deal, I thought. Turns out to be a huge waste of money. Issues, problems, problems that repeated themselves. Sold it at a lost and happy trails to it. I learned.
