I got hit a few days ago and got my rear Bumper partially ripped off. I’m using thing as an opportunity to do some upgrades. I’m looking for any recommendations for a new rear bumper i’ve seen one I like on rough country but open to any thoughts.

Still loving my Black Horse rear bumper with the steps.

Been on the truck over 4 years now and still looks like the day I installed it, well, except for that spot where I backed into a brick wall ?.

All it did to the bumper was scratch the paint a bit. It knocked a nice chunk out of the brick wall. So it's battle tested.

HERE is my install of it from June 2020.

And a pic from the the thread.

Having the Rough Country rear bumper has worked really well for me. Fits well to the fenders of my 2020 Ford XLT 4X4 and has steps to get to the top of my topper. Fast delivery and pretty straightforward install.

I see you have the factory tow package. You should make sure whatever you get is compatible with the receiver and has cutouts for the 7-pin connector and the locking spare tire access hole as well as the rear sensors. Note: The RC bumper requires a separate mounting tab for the 7-pin.

Also, don’t just go by photos you see online - one manufacturer had images showing the 7-pin cutout but it was not present in the delivered product and required a mounting bracket. ?‍♂

Yes, my Ranger XLT came with the Tow Package. What is great about the Rough Country, it comes with the locking spare tire access (Just started a thread recently about mounting my larger KO3 tire in that location) and the rear sensors snapped right in. I upgraded the hitch as the factory hitch does not fit and I wanted the higher rated hitch, as recommended by Rough Country. The mounting tab came with the bumper, that did require relocation of the factory mount.
