Default Replacement Receiver and bumper

I need help finding a replacement rear bumper.
I'll start with what happened. The rear bumper and factory receiver was ripped off trying to pull out a truck.


I need to find a heavy duty replacement (like a ranch hand) with receiver. Anyone know of any bumpers that would work.

Wow, you must have got up to some speed before the cable tightened for that to happen. And that must have been one heck of a cable.

Imagine you'll need to do some work on the frame end as well?

Ranch Hand rear bumper would work just fine, but it does not include a receiver hitch.

For the receiver, you need to just buy an OEM receiver from Ford. Part number CL3Z19D520A will fit your 2014. Taska Ford Parts has decent prices:

But if your stock receiver was ripped off the frame, then the frame is probably bent enough that the new receiver is not going to simply bolt back on. You'll probably have to have a shop straighten out the mounting holes so the receiver will bolt back on.

You could also do what any body shop would do to repair your truck. Replace the entre rear bumper and receiver with OEM parts. Here are the parts:

Note that the receiver is called a "reinforcement" in Ford lingo. It reinforces the rear bumper and just happens to also have a receiver built in. It's a different part number than the CL3Z19D520A receiver linked to above, and I don't know the difference. Maybe your Ford parts counter can explain it.

Frame was bent at the rear. Already got a quote for $2200 to fix everything. The rear brackets that are welded on are Twisted in and they will need to be bent out. The only problem im having is finding a bumper that doesn't need to bolt to existing receiver that has the six bolt at the rear of frame.

OK, You need to explain how this happened. I have pulled more trucks out than I can remember and have had to "tug" pretty good on some, including last weekend. I have never had an issue.

Sorry to take this off topic but I just gotta know.

Got any pictures?

Second that, I want to hear more too if you don't mind.

But to answer your question, I'm pretty sure American made bumpers builds something like that. They are pretty decent price too. If not, I'm almost certain that Tough Country out of El Campo can build you something exactly like that. I think tough country is a little pricey though.

Hope you are able to find something, that sounds like a tight situation bro.

All the bumpers mount to those 6 mounting holes in the back where the OEM hitch/bumper reinforcement mount. Even most aftermarket 1's reuse the OEM receiver.

I would never trust towing anything or pulling anything with those mounts ever again. Even bent back you have lost all their rigidity by torching etc. Id be getting new mounts with fresh steel welded in.
