Here's the story.
We have a 2011 non-tow package XLT bought in 8/11. We wanted one with the tow package but couldn't find on so we had planned on installing a hitch to carry a bike rack and a small utility trailer. In September, it was rear-ended. I mentioned to the shop my idea of upgrading to the factory tow bumper and cover if the bumper itself was damaged. Alas it wasn't.
But the body shop did replace the cover with the one for the tow package.
So now I can replace the parts underneath and am trying to figure it out. It looks like I can replace the bumper and foam with the bumper that has the intgrated tow bar. Can anyone comfirm?
Thanks
