DV8 Offroad MTO Series Winch Front Bumper for Toyota Tacoma

The DV8 Offroad MTO Series Winch Front Bumper is a full-width, high-clearance steel front bumper built for 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma (all trims), accepting winches rated up to 12,000 lb and offering multiple auxiliary lighting configurations. Constructed from 3.5mm and 5mm steel with a micro-texture black powder coat finish, the bumper replaces the factory fascia while retaining the Tacoma's OEM adaptive cruise control and front camera functionality.

Built for Recovery

The MTO Series bumper integrates a concealed winch plate that accommodates winches rated up to 12,000 lb, giving Tacoma owners a meaningful recovery anchor without adding visible bulk to the front end. Two 1-inch-thick D-ring mounts accept ¾-inch D-ring shackles (7/8-inch pin), providing dedicated attachment points for straps and recovery lines. Having both a winch mount and dual D-ring mounts on a single bumper means a stuck vehicle has two independent recovery methods available without additional hardware modifications.

Lighting Without Compromise

Although the MTO Series bumper does not retain the factory fog lights, the design provides more total auxiliary lighting capacity than the OEM setup. Behind the paintable aluminum mesh accent panels, the bumper accepts either one 20-inch dual-row light bar or up to four 3-inch pod lights. The side wings add two more 3-inch pod light mounts, for a maximum of six pod-light positions or a combination of a light bar and wing pods. Drivers who need to illuminate wide terrain or a specific trail line have the flexibility to configure the lighting layout to match their use case.

OEM Tech Stays Intact

The MTO Series bumper is designed to preserve the Tacoma's factory adaptive cruise control system and does not obstruct the front-facing camera. Retaining these systems matters on a truck used for both daily driving and trail work. The MTO Series bumper preserves adaptive cruise control and front camera function without requiring the owner to choose between trail capability and highway convenience. The bumper is also compatible with the DV8 Tacoma Front Skid Plate (SPTT1-04) for owners who want underside protection to match.
