will a 2012 F-150xlt rear bumper fit on my 2008 F-150xlt??
Asked by netminderone Mar 01, 2013 at 07:12 PM about the 2008 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCab 4WD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I bent my rear bumper & don't want to put a claim on my Ins.. I can get a bumper off a 2012 for $100., better than $500 for a replacement, the dealer say's it won't fit but it matched up perfect. I think it's just bracket location is the reason, what do you think??

If it matches up, make it work.
If not mistaken the rear bumper on the f150 (2010 anyway) is a two piece bumper. one on each side. If you you have a two piece bumper it may fit.
Disregard. Just did a little checking and it appears the chrome xlt bumpers fit from 2009 to 2013. Missed it by one year.

whatever it is, can be solved with a cutting torch and scab plates.

I took old bumper off & it's excatley the same except mounting bracket's so I bought 2 bracket's & welded them on & it's perfect!! I pd.$100 for it on craigs list. The dealer wanted $590. & kept telling me it won't fit,no matter what I did. YA,RIGHT! theyll never touch my truck for any repair's.
