Are the park assist sensor holes already cut?

Yes, the bumper comes with pre-positioned park assist cutouts. Verify your sensor diameter before install to confirm alignment with your specific backup system.

Will the chrome finish need any prep before installation?

The chrome is ready to mount as-is. If your truck bed or frame has surface rust or paint chips, inspect those contact points and address any corrosion before bolting the bumper on.

Does this bumper affect trailer hitch clearance?

Factory mounting points remain unchanged, so hitch placement stays stock. Test your existing hitch clearance with the new bumper installed if you frequently tow or use a cargo carrier.
