Tacoma High Clearance Rear Bumper / 4th Gen / 2024-Current

Engineered for maximum clearance, uncompromising strength, and serious off-road performance, the DRT Fabrication High Clearance Rear Bumper transforms the rear end of the 2024+ Toyota Tacoma. Purpose-built for the 4th Generation Tacoma, this bumper combines heavy-duty steel plate construction with precision-formed DOM tubing to deliver exceptional strength without unnecessary weight.

Designed to eliminate the limitations of the factory rear bumper, our high clearance design removes the factory rear crossmember and integrated hitch assembly to significantly improve departure angle and maximize clearance behind the rear tires. Whether navigating technical rock trails, steep departures, or demanding off-road terrain, this bumper provides the clearance and protection needed to push your Tacoma further.

Strength Where It Matters. Weight Where It Doesn't.

The bumper's main structure is constructed from 1/4" steel plate, reinforced by a 1.75" x .120" DOM main tube and dual 1.5" x .120" DOM support tubes on each side. Integrated recovery points feature a laminated 3/8" steel core with 1/4" reinforcement plates on both sides, creating a substantial 7/8" total thickness. An integrated 2" x 2" hitch receiver, constructed from 1/4" wall tubing and reinforced with structural gussets, completes the design.

Modern functionality hasn't been sacrificed for off-road capability. The bumper is designed to retain factory Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and backup parking sensor functionality (read notes at bottom), while integrated lighting provisions accommodate Baja Designs S2, comparable KC lights, and similarly sized lights. Optional chase and rock light mounting locations provide additional flexibility.

Our adjustable, tool-free license plate mount offers 2 positions. Keep the plate lowered for everyday driving, or slide it approximately 2" upward behind the main tube when heading off-road for added protection and clearance.

Developed through extensive R&D and real-world testing across multiple Tacoma platforms, every bumper is manufactured, welded, and jig-aligned in the USA to ensure consistent fitment, structural integrity, and the quality expected from DRT Fabrication.

Built Light. Built Right.

Important: Installation requires cutting and removing the factory rear hitch crossmember. Certain lower trim models require minor welding. Trucks equipped with factory ARB bumpers require separately purchased OEM Toyota plastic bumper caps (Toyota part numbers 52155-AK010 passenger side and 52156-AK010 driver side). Review all installation and sensor compatibility notes before purchasing.

Important Information: What You Need to Know

• BSM Sensor Compatibility: This bumper has undergone extensive R&D and testing across multiple trucks to ensure compatibility with factory Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and backup parking sensors. The majority of trucks will not experience sensor issues. However, Toyota's sensor positioning tolerances are extremely tight, allowing approximately 2° of vertical tilt and 5° of horizontal angle variation.
• Sensor Positioning & Calibration: Based on our testing, factory sensor positioning can vary slightly between trucks. We believe this is due to individual sensor alignment and calibration during Toyota's assembly process. In the event of a BSM issue, the sensor typically requires a slight rotation toward the center of the truck. While most installations will not require additional adjustments, some trucks may require professional sensor calibration after installation.
• Factory Hitch Removal: The factory hitch receiver is integrated into a welded crossmember that must be cut and removed to install this bumper. Cutting of the factory frame is required.
• Lower Trim Model Installation: Certain lower trim models (SR/SR5) do not have the factory mounting bungs found on higher trim levels. These trucks will require minor welding during installation. All necessary mounting bungs are included with the bumper at no additional cost.
• Factory ARB Bumper Models: Trucks originally equipped with factory ARB bumpers will require separate OEM Toyota plastic bumper caps. This bumper is not compatible with the factory ARB plastic caps. Replacement caps must be purchased separately from Toyota: part numbers 52155-AK010 (passenger side) and 52156-AK010 (driver side).
