Front Bumper Lower Bar XL Chrome Fits 09-14 FORD F150

2009-2014 Ford F-150 Front Bumper Lower Bar XL Chrome OEM | McClain Auto Part

Product Overview

This is a genuine OEM chrome front bumper lower bar for the 2009 to 2014 Ford F-150 XL, reference number 40730. It covers the third-generation aluminum-free F-150 platform across this model year range and is the correct replacement for XL-trim trucks that came factory-equipped with the chrome lower bumper bar configuration.

This is the lower bar component of the front bumper assembly. It is sold as a complete upper and lower unit. Before this bumper ships, any surface scratches present are professionally addressed so the chrome finish arrives in clean, presentable condition. We do not ship chrome bumpers with avoidable surface imperfections when they can be corrected before the order leaves our warehouse.

A few model year and trim exceptions apply to fitment on this platform. The 2010 F-150 has specific exclusions, the 2011 F-150 excludes the Harley-Davidson edition, and the 2012 F-150 excludes trucks with option codes 4D2 and color code TAN G3. These exceptions are covered in detail in the compatibility section below. Providing your VIN before ordering is the most reliable way to confirm this is the correct bumper for your specific truck.

Product Specifications

Chrome Scratch Correction Before Shipping

We want to be direct about what this means and what it does not mean.

This bumper has surface scratches consistent with normal donor vehicle use. Before it ships, our team addresses those scratches so the chrome arrives in clean, presentable condition. Light surface scratches on chrome bumpers can often be significantly improved through professional chrome polishing before the bumper leaves our warehouse. As a result, the condition you receive reflects a corrected and presentable chrome surface rather than the unaddressed donor vehicle condition.

This is not a rechroming process and it is not a guarantee of perfect showroom chrome. It means surface scratches are corrected to the extent achievable through professional polishing before shipping. We provide close-up photos of the chrome surface condition after correction and before shipping so you can evaluate the finish against your expectations before committing to an order.

Contact us before ordering if you want photos of the current chrome surface condition or have specific questions about what the correction process has achieved on this specific unit.

OEM Fitment Advantages

The 2009 to 2014 F-150 XL chrome lower bumper bar is a trim-specific component. The XL trim configuration uses a distinct lower bar design compared to XLT and higher trim levels on this platform. Aftermarket chrome bumpers for this application vary in how accurately they replicate the factory mounting geometry, chrome finish quality, and profile alignment with the surrounding front-end components.

This OEM unit came off a truck built to the same factory specifications. The mounting tab positions, bracket attachment geometry, and lower bar profile reflect Ford’s original engineering for this specific XL chrome configuration. It consequently installs at the factory mounting locations without modification and aligns correctly with the adjacent grille surround, upper bumper components, and valance panel.

Condition and Inspection Report

This bumper has been inspected at our Cleveland, Ohio facility before listing and will be inspected again before shipping.

Chrome Surface

Surface scratches present on the donor vehicle are corrected before shipping through professional polishing. Photos of the corrected chrome surface are available on request before purchase. Contact us before ordering for close-up images of the current surface condition.

Mounting Tabs and Brackets

All mounting tabs and bracket attachment points were inspected for bends, cracks, and missing hardware. The mounting structure is intact and correctly positioned for direct factory installation.

Upper and Lower Assembly Completeness

This unit is sold as a complete upper and lower front bumper assembly. Both components were inspected for completeness and correct assembly before listing.

Fog Light and Sensor Provisions

Contact us with your VIN before ordering and we confirm fog light and sensor provision configuration on this specific unit against your truck’s factory equipment.

Structural Integrity

The bumper assembly, reinforcement attachment zones, and mounting geometry were inspected for impact damage, cracks, and deformation. No structural issues were identified.

Vehicle Compatibility

This front bumper lower bar fits the following vehicles with noted exceptions:

2009 Ford F-150 XL
2010 Ford F-150 XL, with exclusions noted below
2011 Ford F-150 XL, excluding Harley-Davidson edition
2012 Ford F-150 XL, excluding option code 4D2 and color code TAN G3
2013 Ford F-150 XL
2014 Ford F-150 XL

Important Exclusions

2010 Ford F-150: Certain 2010 F-150 configurations are excluded from this fitment. Provide your VIN and we confirm whether your specific 2010 truck is compatible before ordering.

2011 Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson Edition: The Harley-Davidson special edition F-150 carries a distinct front bumper configuration that does not interchange with the standard XL chrome lower bar. This unit does not fit the Harley-Davidson edition regardless of other configuration details.

2012 Ford F-150 with Option Code 4D2: Trucks equipped with option code 4D2 carry a different front bumper configuration. This unit does not fit F-150 trucks with this option code.

2012 Ford F-150 with Color Code TAN G3: Trucks with color code TAN G3 are excluded from this fitment application. This exclusion likely reflects a trim package or appearance group associated with this color code that uses a different bumper configuration.

Complete Upper and Lower Assembly Note

This unit covers the complete upper and lower front bumper assembly. It is not sold as a lower bar component only. Confirm that your replacement need covers both the upper and lower assembly before ordering.

Always provide your VIN when you contact us. The VIN allows us to confirm the correct bumper configuration, trim level alignment, and option package compatibility between this unit and your specific truck before anything ships.
