I KNOW nobody makes one like this. But why not a Lambo style swing away spare carrier that just sort of scissors at a pivot point to allow access to the tailgate / bed without having to swing past a trailer?

Not that this would work but but think outside the box, I changed the trailer jack location on my trailer to clear the tailgate.

I love the 2 door pickup.
Ive got an SAS’d 95 4Runner with winch, winch bumper, sliders and air lockerfor way less than 10k.
It just sucks to drive on the road more than 20 miles lol.

If I am picturing what you're trying to describe...
It would be a great option, but expensive, and very limited market.

Pretty neat. For me it's not a big enough issue to change anything. I can still usually access anything I need to in the box.
I guess it's out for 2015-2020 models although it says "**Pictured on a F250 99-16 Model...F150 pictures coming soon!*"

$3k for a bumper is a bit rich for me...but it is a sweet looking bumper (at least on a F250).
I've got a '21 F150 so even if I I was willing to spend the cash, this wouldn't work for me.

And they are a company that will sell you a half baked bumper with quality and design issues... and crap customer service. There is a reason their biggest market is insta fanbois who are sponsored by them and never say anything bad about anything they own.

Chassis Unlimited makes a rear swing out bumper for F250. They may make one for F150 as well. I'm a dealer for them I can ask... What year model? Sometimes they have made them, but they don't have photos or haven't updated the site. Feel free to message me.

I have one of these Buckstop bumpers on the way. The swingouts are really beefy and come with 2" receivers in them, which make them pretty modular. You can just plug-n-play with a tire carrier, and then swap it out for a bike rack or box or whatever.
The swingouts also just pop off, so if you want to do "truck stuff" around town, just pull the arm off.

Good looking bumper, but when I go to your link I only see rear bumpers for Super Duties, not F150's.I have one of these Buckstop bumpers on the way.

Just got this. I'll be using part of it to hang stuff off the F-150.

It's actually pretty heavy stock, I couldn't buy the materials and weld it for that price.
As to bumpers, thought about changing mine out until I saw the prices. That's nuts! If the U.S. Army can run stock bumpers on light trucks, so can I.
I won't be able to show off my Badazz Bad Lands winch on the front, but maybe that's a good thing.
I might do a vinal wrap on my bumpers, get some camo duct tape and cover them.

Hitchgate was bought by wilco. Its a hitch tire carrier with compression fit and has a socket for a hitch. I have one used it on my Landcruiser and kept it for my other trucks.

I have an Expedition One front bumper on my F150 and the quality is excellent. I went to their factory to pick it up and was impressed with what I saw. I have had no issues with it on my rig. If I pursue the F250 Tremor in a couple of years, I will potentially be going with their front and rear bumpers. Having said that, Chassis Unlimited is a great company as well. I used to live very close to their shop and watched them go from a very small operation making a handful of products to a much larger company putting out some really creative and good looking items. They are also willing to custom make things if you work with them.
