Does this bumper work with a factory tow hitch?

Yes. The design accommodates standard hitch receiver openings without interference. Confirm your hitch height and receiver size before final fitment, but no cutting or modification to the bumper is needed.

What mounting hardware comes with it?

The assembly ships with the bumper only. You'll need fasteners that match your truck's factory attachment points—most trucks use existing frame bolts. Reference your vehicle's service manual for torque specs and hardware gauge.

Can I paint this, or does it stay chrome?

Chrome plating is permanent and not designed for paint adhesion. If you want a different finish, test adhesion on a small area first or work with a professional refinisher. Stock bumper stays chrome as delivered.
