What Fits Your 2016-2018 GMC Sierra 1500
Bumpers on this page cover the 4th-gen GMC Sierra 1500 K2XX platform, produced 2016-2018 within the larger 2014-2018 generation run. All listings share post-refresh fascia geometry: restyled grille, new fascia, and LED headlamps. Specific year fitment varies by product. Verify your model year in each product listing before ordering.
If your truck has factory parking sensors (Front and Rear Park Assist), check the product description for sensor cutout compatibility before ordering.
These bumpers fit 2016-2018 GMC Sierra 1500 only. The 2019 model year moves to a new T1XX platform with different mounting points. From what we've seen across our orders, the K2XX-based Sierra Limited continued through 2019 (Double Cab, SLE trims), so some K2XX listings cross over.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these bumpers interchangeable across 2016, 2017, and 2018 GMC Sierra 1500?
Yes for the 2016-2018 K2XX post-refresh range. Front bumpers covering 2014-2015 use the pre-refresh fascia geometry and do not bolt up to 2016+ trucks. Body and frame mounting points stayed unchanged across the K2XX run, so rear listings often span 2014-2018.
Will an aftermarket bumper work with Front and Rear Park Assist on a Sierra 1500?
Yes if the bumper has factory sensor cutouts. K2XX Sierra 1500s come optioned with Front Park Assist alone, Rear Park Assist alone, or combined Front and Rear Park Assist. Each product listing notes whether the bumper accepts factory sensors or requires sensor relocation. Confirm your sensor configuration before ordering.
Will a 320 lb steel front bumper affect the front suspension on a Sierra 1500?
A heavy steel front bumper adds front-axle load. The Fab Fours Premium pick on this page weighs 320 lbs, roughly 100 lbs more than a stock plastic bumper. A leveling kit handles it for most factory K2XX setups. Install is bolt-on with no body modification.
