Market analysis

Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, lower, automatic braking, lists at a $190 median, while lower, w/o automatic braking; skid plate commands $261, a 37% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.

Model year matters too: 2024 units carry the lowest median at $195, while 2019 tops the table at $315. Parts from 2013–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2024 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 9 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Ram 1500 sits 14% below the Ford Explorer ($290), 108% above the Toyota RAV4 ($120), and 2% below the Jeep Grand Cherokee ($255) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.

Buying a used front bumper: what to check

  1. Check the mounting tabs. Cracked tabs are the most common hidden defect on used bumper covers.
  2. Color-matched covers save paint costs, but verify the paint code, not just the color name.
  3. Ask about sensor and camera cutouts. Park-assist variants differ from base covers.
  4. Factor in paint and blend costs if the cover arrives in a different color.
