How to Choose a Bumper for Your 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma
On a 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma, the assortment splits by price tier. What each tier brings:
Most affordable: Steelcraft 71-13420 Fortis Front Bumper at $1,149. Fortis is Steelcraft's newer-gen line with welded D-ring eyelets standard. 6-gauge steel one-piece, 134 lbs, matte black powder coat. Bolt-on front replacement for the 3rd-gen Tacoma, no-guard profile, sensor cutouts pre-drilled.
Mid-tier: Warn Ascent XP 107272 Front Bumper at $1,726. Warn invented the recreational electric winch in 1959. 11-gauge steel one-piece face, 60 lbs, textured black finish, winch-ready integrated mount. Installation requires removal of the factory front tow hooks.
Fourth largest aftermarket bumper manufacturer by volume worldwide, Fab Fours sits at the top-tier with the TT16-B3650-1 Premium Front Bumper Full Guard at $2,260. 3/16" US steel plate, 250 lbs, 2-stage black powder coat, full grille guard with winch-ready mount.
All three bolt on with no body modification. Body Armor, Road Armor, Addictive Desert Designs, and Go Rhino round out the options between these tiers.
What Fits Your 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma
Bumpers on this page cover the 3rd-gen Toyota Tacoma N300 platform, produced 2016 through 2023. The 2020 mid-cycle refresh updated the grille, headlights, and infotainment but kept frame mounting consistent across the run. Specific year fitment varies by product. Verify your model year in each product listing before ordering.
Trucks with factory parking sensors (Toyota Safety Sense P for 2018+ Tacomas) need sensor cutouts in the bumper. Check the product description for sensor compatibility before ordering. The TRD Pro adds Rear Parking Sonar as a separate package.
These bumpers fit 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma only. The 2024 model year introduced a new fourth-generation platform with different mounting points, debuting May 19, 2023 with the i-FORCE turbo and i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrains.
Compare bumpers across all Toyota Tacoma generations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are bumpers interchangeable across the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma run?
Mostly yes. The 3rd-gen N300 platform ran 2016 through 2023 with no frame redesign. The 2020 mid-cycle refresh updated the grille and infotainment but kept bumper mounting consistent. Most listings cover the full 2016-2023 range; a handful labeled 2016-2022 fit the same N300 frame.
Will an aftermarket bumper work with Toyota Safety Sense P on a 2018-2023 Tacoma?
It varies. TSS-P became standard on all 2018+ Tacomas, with the front radar housed behind the lower grille for Pre-Collision and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Some bumpers retain sensor passthrough, others do not. 2016-2017 Tacomas predate TSS-P. The TRD Pro also adds Rear Parking Sonar requiring cutouts on rear bumpers.
Will a heavy steel front bumper affect the IFS suspension on a 2016-2023 Tacoma?
Front bumpers here run 60 lbs (Warn Ascent XP) to 250 lbs (Fab Fours Premium Full Guard). Added weight over the stock fascia can cause slight nose sag on the IFS coil-over front. From what we've seen across our orders, a leveling kit or stiffer coils handles it. All three picks bolt on.
