Default Rear Bumper Advice

I don't have a hitch, and I thought I could kill two birds with one stone and find a rear bumper with a hitch built in. I came across this on Morris 4x4:



It's made by Warrior and includes a hitch & d-ring mounts and it's only $314.98 delivered to my door.

Why is it so cheap?


That seems like a great price right? I get a new stronger, offroad bumper and a hitch for only $314.98? I've come across plenty from other companies that easily cost double. Something's not right with this right?

Uh,
399.99
+ 9.99
----------
$409.98

For ~ $XX worth of raw steel, seems about right, if it works for you go for it.

The hitch isn't part of that bumper. Look at the pic and you'll see it's a separate hitch. If you do find one with a hitch make sure it mounts to the frame rails like a hitch as well as the factory spots. The factory bumper mounts aren't strong enough for towing.

On the Live Chat, the guy I talked to said it was built in, but I couldn't find anything in the description that backed that up.

Just look at the picture.

He might've thought you were talking about the front bumper, they have a built in one for the front.
