What Fits Your 2007-2013 GMC Sierra 1500
Bumpers on this page fit the 2nd-gen GMC Sierra 1500 GMT900 New Body Style platform, 2007 through 2013. The 2007 Sierra Classic is a separate fitment carried forward from the previous GMT800 chassis.
Front and Rear Park Assist on the GMT900 Sierra 1500 was optional, tied to Denali and upper SLT trims. Fronts on this page need no cutouts. Rears split into sensor-cutout SKUs (Hammerhead 600-56-0183 and 600-56-0523, Road Armor 38500B) and non-sensor variants; verify your truck before ordering.
Forward, the 2014 model year launched the K2XX with new fascia and mounting; 2007-2013 SKUs do not interchange. Backward, GMT800 trucks (1999-2006 plus the 2007 Classic) use different mounts.
