Best bumper??? Pre Collision System

Just got the 2023 Tacoma Trail Edition. Not going to be doing any serious off roading but will be using around farm and will take it off trail quite a bit during hunting season ie, just head out through brush and trees, creek crossing etc.

Bumper questions:
1. What bumper do you like best that won't interfere with the Pre Collision sensor?
2. Bumper mounted winch or not? I am thinking a receiver winch would be more practical for irregular use- being able use on front or back
3. Favorite easy install front hitch receiver options? Any bumper options you like with front receiver?

Thank you.

 

There are not many (any?) options for a front bumper with a hitch. You could likely have something fabbed though. I believe you can find a front hitch that fits under the stock bumper.

I'm not sure that any of the aftermarket bumpers interfere with the pre collision sensor, but I've also not cared about it.

 

Almost any front bumper will do. Just pay attention to hoop height, if you get a hoop. Make sure that part doesn't line up with your sensor. Most bumpers that offer a hoop offer options.


As far as winch, that's up to you on whether you'll use it, or whether it'll be a waste of dead weight. Winches are heavy. If you're not doing serious off roading, I'd consider alternate recovery tools that are lighter and cheaper.
