Default Replacement Bumpers

I'm looking into replacement bumpers for my 2010 lariat. I've looked around and I'm thinking either ranchhand or frontier. My question is how much do these affect gas mileage? They're not a need, just an appearance want. And I know its a truck and mileage isn't the best, but i don't want a huge mpg drop. TIA

I like it! What did you get before you put that on?

It's a proven fact that when you put one on you will lose gas milage. See its not the bumper but the lift and tires that you end up putting on after you get the bumper!

Well if my truck was 4 wheel drive I'd completely agree with you, but the most I'll do is a leveling kit since I'm not in the 4x4 world yet.

I think I lost about .5 mpg roughly. I lost more mpg by adding the e rated good year duratracs!
