If you’re looking to upgrade your Chevy Colorado’s exterior aesthetics, consider the rugged styling of a high-end aftermarket bumper from RealTruck! We offer a wide selection of aftermarket bumpers, including various styles and configurations from all the leading manufacturers, like Go Rhino, Westin, and N-Fab!
Whether you’re looking for a high-clearance tubular bumper to improve off-road performance, a beefy plate steel bumper to bolster impact resistance, or a feature-laden winch bumper with integrated accessory mounts, RealTruck has the product for you!
In this guide, we’re tackling everything there is to know about aftermarket bumpers for Chevy’s flagship midsize pickup: the Colorado. We’re covering everything, from the various styles available, the standout characteristics of each style, and our top-recommended products in each category.
No two front bumpers are created equal; RealTruck offers numerous styles, with each possessing unique aesthetics and characteristics. Let’s define each bumper style we carry for the Colorado and some of our favorite products in each category!
Base bumpers feature sleek styling and a rugged one-piece design. These bumpers typically feature a full-width form factor, stretching from one fender to the other, like the factory-stamped steel bumper. However, unlike your Colorado’s OE bumper, base bumpers are manufactured from durable plate steel, offering an aggressive angular appearance, exceptional impact protection, and outstanding durability.
Introducing the Go Rhino BR6: a premium base bumper from RealTruck’s own Go Rhino! This rugged front bumper offers a heavy-duty all-steel construction consisting of a ¼-inch thick steel body and mounting brackets. Go Rhino treats the BR6 in a heavy-duty textured black powder coat finish, preventing unsightly rust and corrosion.
This bumper features various accessory mounts, including an integrated winch plate capable of supporting a 12,000-pound winch, mounting tabs for an LED light bar and pods, and welded-on D-ring shackle mounts for stout, easily accessible recovery points.
The Go Rhino BR6 features a simple bolt-on installation, mounting to the front of your Colorado without any cutting, drilling, or other modifications. Go Rhino is a RealTruck brand, so when you order the BR6 bumper or any other Go Rhino product, you’re purchasing directly from the manufacturer! We back each Go Rhino BR6 bumper with a limited lifetime structural warranty and 5-year coverage on the powder coat finish.

Bullnose bumpers are similar to base bumpers with one exception: an integrated single-hoop front-end guard, similar to a bull bar. These bumpers offer exceptional front-end protection, guarding critical components like the radiator, intercooler, AC condenser, and other fluid coolers.
Introducing the Black Horse Armour II Front Bumper: a premium bullnose bumper featuring a rugged all-steel construction, high-clearance design, and unmatched styling.
This bumper is built to last, manufactured from cold-rolled plate steel for maximum strength. Each precision-cut steel plate is fully welded into place, resulting in a durable one-piece construction. For added impact protection, Black Horse offers the Armour II Front Bumper with an optional integrated bull bar, guarding the front end against mild impacts, brush, and more!
The Black Horse Armour II Front Bumper features a high-clearance design, ideal for off-roaders, overlanders, and weekend warriors. For added performance off-road, Black Horse offers an optional steel skid plate, protecting critical components like the radiator and fluid lines against damage off-road.

Like Bullnose bumpers, grille guard bumpers feature a similar body design, including a one-piece welded steel construction, full-width form factor, and various accessory mounting provisions. The key characteristic that sets a grille guard bumper apart from other bumper styles is an integrated grille guard, protecting the entire front end against impacts, including the grille, headlights, and hood.
The Premium Grille Guard Front Winch Bumper is a heavy-duty bumper from Fab Fours, featuring durable all-steel construction, rugged styling, and unparalleled front-end protection from the integrated tubular grille guard.
This bumper is manufactured entirely from steel, including a 3/16-inch plate steel body and tubular steel integrated grille guard. All joints are fully welded, making for a robust, one-piece design. For added durability, Fab Fours applies a corrosion-resistant black powder coat finish, keeping unsightly rust and corrosion at bay.
Fab Fours’ two-piece, vehicle-specific mounting system makes installation a breeze, allowing you to adjust the bumper for perfect body panel gaps. Other features include integrated D-ring shackle lugs to ease recovery efforts and auxiliary light tabs to mount various LED light bars and pods.
The Fab Fours Premium Grille Guard Front Winch Bumper is proudly manufactured in the USA and backed by the confidence of a limited lifetime structural warranty, with the bumper’s powder coat finish receiving a two-year warranty.

Modular bumpers offer similar aesthetics to base bumpers; however, they feature a modular multi-piece design compared to a base bumper’s one-piece, fully-welded construction. This modular design allows quick and inexpensive shipping and a less labor-intensive installation.
The Westin Pro-Mod Front Bumper features a lightweight, multi-piece design that ships in multiple pieces, allowing for rapid, inexpensive shipping and, as a result, a lower overall price tag!
This bumper is manufactured from durable 10-gauge plate steel for superior strength and impact resistance, keeping your Colorado and its passengers safe in a minor front impact. Each bumper receives a corrosion-resistant, dual-stage powder coat finish, guarding against unsightly rust and scaling.
The Westin Pro-Mod accepts most 30-inch LED light bars in its pre-drilled mounts, bolstering low-light visibility. Westin also offers an optional steel skid plate, protecting critical front-end components against collisions with rocks, brush, and other obstacles on the trail.
Westin backs the Pro-Mod Front Bumper with the confidence of a limited 3-year warranty against manufacturing and workmanship defects.
Features:
Lightweight yet sturdy modular design
Rugged 10-gauge steel construction with outrigger brackets supporting the wings
Dual-layered E-Coat/powder-coating for superior corrosion resistance
Steel valance included on some applications
Optional skid plates available for off-road protection
Accepts most 30" LED light bars (sold separately)
3-year warranty
Like several previous styles, prerunner bumpers offer a similar construction and form factor to base bumpers; however, they feature an integrated front-end guard that provides additional impact protection. Alternatively, prerunner bumpers may feature tubular, high-clearance designs.
The Matrix Pre-Runner Front Bumper is a premium, prerunner style bumper from Fab Fours, featuring a rugged plate steel body, tubular pre-runner guard, and numerous accessory mounting provisions.
This bumper is manufactured entirely from high-grade steel, including a fully-welded 3/16-inch plate steel body and a tubular steel prerunner guard. Fab Fours also applies a black powder coat finish, protecting the underlying steel against unsightly rust and corrosion.
The Fab Fours Matrix features numerous accessory provisions, including a 12,000-pound winch plate, mounting tabs for a 30-inch LED bar and four LED pods, parking sensor mounting holes, and D-ring shackle lugs.
