A truck bumper replacement is an expense that many drivers eventually need to pay. Severe collisions with other motorists or large wildlife can damage a bumper beyond repair. Curious about how much it might cost you? Read on!

When is Truck Bumper Replacement Needed?

Truck bumper replacement, rather than repair, is needed when there is major damage. For example, there are pieces missing, cracks, or damage done to the systems within the bumper itself.

Replacement will cost more than repair. But the silver lining is that bumper replacement tends to be faster. Your truck will be out of the shop sooner and back on the road where it belongs sooner.

What Affects the Cost of Truck Bumper Replacement?

There are many factors that affect the final cost of truck bumper replacement.

These include:

  • The type of truck. The cost of the bumper alone tends to be between $300 and $700. Higher end vehicles have more expensive parts, which means the price of the bumper will be higher.
  • The technology found in the bumper. There are often parts built into the bumper, such as the lights (including fog lights, license plate lights, and turn signals), warning signals and sensors (including airbag sensors and weather sensors), and even decorative attachments. Many newer trucks also have cameras and sensors built into the bumper to help with driver-assist technology. It takes time and money to repair, replace, and/or reconnect those pieces.
  • The protection offered by the bumper during the collision. Vehicles with lower quality bumpers tend to have more damage to other parts of the truck, which will drive up the over bumper replacement cost.
  • The labor costs. Labor can cost anywhere from $50 to $200 an hour at an auto body shop.

How Much Will a Front Truck Bumper Replacement Cost?

Front truck bumper replacements tend to between $500 and $1,500. Extensive damage could result in a much higher cost, usually around $5,000. 

How Much Will a Rear Truck Bumper Replacement Cost?

Rear truck bumper replacements tend to be lower in cost. Extensive damage tends to cost around $2,000.
