Default Rear bumper

Has anyone put an aftermarket rear bumber on a tundra yet? If so, what kind, and where did you get it. I got rear ended today by a ford expedition. I have a dent in the rear bumber, the expedition had to be towed with the front bumper off, and both airbags open. The tundra's crash ratings are correct.

If you want the most protection, you can't go wrong with.RanchHand Equiptment I'm going to get one after seeing a Buick LeSabre try to drive under a F250 2wd. The car was totalled and the truck only had to repaint the bumper

Personally, I would spend the extra money and get an OEM bumper from the dealer. Remember, the truck survived the crash with the stock bumper, not an aftermarket one.

Thats true, and I'm not trying to aruge, but the aftermarket one, like the one I suggested would not have a dent. The factory ones only have to withstand a 5mph impact which isn't much if you think about it. While the car in my other post was doing 50 and hit the F250 that was stopped for the redlight. I don't believe the stock bumper will survive that, much less the bed or tailgate.

I too have had my rear bumper bent by someone who backed it into a fence post. I found out while hammering it out that the rear bumper is made of chromed ALUMINUM !!! It is no wonder that they don't hold up very well. On the flip side, they are easy to bang out with the right body repair tools.

Well no wonder it can only withstand a 5mph impact. Just think about how much damamge would be done at 20mph or so. You might be replacing the tailgate too
