Was looking into getting a curt 13086 receiver hitch for the truck but then started to do a little thinking and my rear bumper is in pretty bad shape and really could be replaced. So by the time I buy a hitch and a stepside bumper I'm looking at 500+.

Looking around i did find a couple of aftermarket bumper receiver hitch combos. Warrior was one company but they do not give a rating for the hitch, just light towing. They make a tube version (53250) and solid bumper (53566). Anyone have knowledge of some other companies that make a bumper with built in receiver hitch. The curt is class III. Cheers.

94 sr5 v6 4x4 xcab 31in tire.

 

I bought the 4Xinnovations one for my 4runner specifically because it has a towing-rated receiver in it.

 

I personally am not a fan of tube bumpers, so the one I am planning to get is the NWTI plate bumper. It wraps around the bedside behind the tires for armor which is nice. The bumper does NOT have a hitch receiver but I am going to weld one on it, it’s a DIY bumper so i’ll just add the hitch when welding it all together.

Theres a youtube channel named NuttyNu (i think that’s the name) and he got pretty much the tube version of the bumper I just put a link to. That version is by Trailgear and it’s a completed bumper with a hitch already built in.

 

i have the T-G bumper on my 4Runner, I would not recommend it for towing very much, as in maybe 1500 lbs. It is not built nearly as well as the 4xinnovations bumper. Also it has no rating whatsoever

 

Some nice bumpers posted. Really like that north west unit but no receiver built in unless it was added by user. I can understand the companies not wanting to go thru the certification process but it would be so nice to find an all in one unit that was class III rated and the cost was somewhere around the combined price of a new bumper and hitch. I would never use the full rated capacity of a class III hitch with this truck but it gives me peace of mind.
