There's no way that is a quality bumper at that price unless it just happens to be mispriced. It would have to be really thin metal without powder coat. I'd be very Leary because it's still a lot of money if your disappointed. Just my 2 cents

Don't like big bulky 3rd party stuff. Doesn't look like it belongs and doesn't blend with the vehicle. Not a fan.

Without commenting on the looks, I take it you don't have adaptive cruise? It looks like it would interfere.

My thought.....if you need that kind of protection on a daily driven vehicle, get a tank. Don't get me wrong those types of bumbers have a purpose on a ranch/farm/off road, to bump cattle, open gates, etc., but in a collision with another vehicle or large animal,...no thanks, it would probably fold up and damage other parts its "supposed" to protect. Plus it looks like a christmas tree once all the lights are hung on it, then it starts to rust leaving brown stains everywhere behind it. Its your truck, if you like it then go for it, if its what "you" want.

I like it. I have a smitty built on my 2013. It has been hit a couple of times already from cars or something.


Course I have a winch for mine as well so it has other purposes but well worth the hit and run folks.

You are correct, it does not work with adaptive cruise.

I'm a big fan of the bumper itself, but I can go without the push bar
