I really like the Tremor rear bumper much better than the Lariat stock rear bumper. Has anyone done this yet? If not does anyone foresee an issue, sensors or otherwise? I have ordered the Lariat with the 502A, 360 degree camera, lane keep assist, park assist, Max Tow Package, etc. Obviously the exhaust would have to be custom but I am ok with that.

I don't see it being an issue. The only sensors I know of actually in the rear bumper itself are the rear parking sensors (the 4 black circles). Those should be able to swap in and out interchangeably. And then like you said, getting a dual exit setup to fit.

Please post pictures when you do it! It'll look great!

I am thinking of doing this mod as well. Really dont know why Ford didnt do Factory Dual Exhaust on Non-Tremors with this gen of truck.

GM has been doing it since 2019, and RAM i believe has been doing it since like 2013.

The rear bumper and exhaust was one of numerous aesthetics that made me cancel my 502A and get a Tremor.

I would have done the same thing, but I wanted the coyote. Love the Ecoboost in my wife's Expedition but figured I would grab the V8 while they still offer one. Now to spend the extra cash for all the aesthetics, lol. Going to do the skid plate upfront as well but there is already a thread for that.

You should be able to just order the end caps and paint to match.

personally i'm NOT a fan of the rear bumper exhaust. It may "look" cool, but from a Truck usability perspective... not practical, depending on how you optioned and use your truck.
Ford gives you a work surface tailgate, and power outlets to use power tools and work on the tailgate, which i have done.
Since the truck needs to be running to use the 110v power, The LAST thing i want is exhaust billowing out from under the tailgate and up into my face. lol

Did you end up going through with this? I am on the same mission. I ordered the end caps, and found out after the fact that the tow hitch on the Tremor has a different P/N than non-Tremor trucks, and part of the end caps supposedly mount onto the hitch.

Note the end caps below. The top one is obviously from the Tremor which I ordered. The upper attachment tab on the Tremor bumper has three holes drilled for attachments and the regular one only has two. The lower attachment tab on the Tremor bumper is very small with only one hole right next the exhaust cut out, but the regular F150 bumper has a long tab with three attachments points.

The only way we will know if I need to order the hitch is once they get painted and we try to put it on. However, I am hoping someone has already tried this and can tell me if I need to order the Tremor tow hitch or not. It is almost $400 at dealer cost and it cannot be returned, so I only want to buy it if I absolutely need to.

I am looking to buy the same parts and am curious if you tried to install these yet.
