Fab Fours Premium Rear Bumper does NOT fit 2019 SR model with aftermarket towing hitch.

I meant on the fab fours box... it may have been packaged in the wrong box.. tundra product in a tacoma box.. are there numbers/stampings on the aftermarket bumper?

 

Nope...here is a photo of the other side of that part...no threaded bolt holes:

 

Yep...right bumper with correct Tacoma stamping inside.

 

Fuck.

Count me out

 

I know a mobtown will, and probably most other quality rear bumpers that ditch any existing hitch and integrate their own.

 

well... I'm at a loss here.. I'm at work (locked in a control room) otherwise I'd snap a few pics of my 2016 factory tow hitch/bolts... can possibly do so tomorrow, wont be out of work until late 1830hrs EST...

 

Where did you find this pic again? Because that's not the factory bracket there. If you look closely, the two bolts that are parallel to the ground are not factory. Those look like grade 8 replacements. I can tell because of the tip of the bolt as well as the washer on there.

 

I took that pic...yeah...those bolts are from my aftermarket hitch...those aren't the bolts in question though...

 

Not sure if there is an option for us when it comes to aftermarket bumpers with our configuration

 

Bet it looks just like this:

 

Where you at in SD? I'll come show you how it's supposed to work if it's not to far.

 

Sure there is... as @EatSleepTacos said, you need one that ditches that Curt hitch and has an integrated hitch... ie. Mobtown, RCI, CBI... etc

 

Not sure if this helps, but pictures of a 19 with tow package, passenger side. My camper brackets are in the way, so I couldn't get a good pic.

 

Hopefully, I can clear things up. On all the trucks frames right there, there are the 3 threaded holes. There are also the two perpendicular threaded holes on the bottom of the frame.

Trucks with the factory tow hitch had an additional bracket. It's a simple 90-degree bracket that bolts into the two perpendicular holes.




These two holes are the bottom two holes of the triangle you're seeing in the install instructions. This is the root cause of why their bumper will not work on your truck.

 

I'm down in IB

 

So when I said a mobtown bumper would work, it's because it ditches those factory 90 degree brackets and replaces it with a beefier alternative. Or those 90 degree brackets can always be purchased independently to work with any other bumper.

How can I be sure that it will not need to utilize the same triangular bolt configuration? That is my only concern. I bet they all do...

 

Which 90 degree brackets are you referring to?

 

My truck's configuration does not appear to have those two holes...look at my earlier photos. Sorry if I am just dull and can't understand what you are trying to get across.
