Rear bumper on 2020 AT4 not in line with body

BrooklynBravest · June 5, 2020

Hey guys, i have 5000 miles in my 2020 AT4 and unfortunately covid hit right after I bought it and noticed this issue so i have not heard from the dealer.

ive seen multiple trucks with the same issue both Silverado and Sierra.

the rear bumper basically points down very slightly to the rear. So from a little bit back it appears not to line up with the body of the truck.

my neighbor just bought a 2020 Denali and his is perfectly aligned.

i don’t really see a means of adjusting it.

A picture might help

This is what i am referring to

the end of the bumper dips down in relation to the body lines of the truck. It’s very slightly only like 1/4”-1/2” but it’s been driving me nuts considering the price tag on these things.

ive seen Plenty of trucks that don’t have this issue which annoys me more of course.

Hmm now i will have to go look at mine. That would drive me nuts too.

Looks like the bed is off too. My AT4 has that assembly issue, but my bumper is at least square.

What makes you say that? I can’t see any issue there

Well, as best as the photo shows, the lines on the bed are a little higher than the cab. Maybe just the lighting, but that is a common assembly issue on these trucks.

I think it’s just the photo on that one.

the bumper is clearly off though. I’m gonna complain to the dealer but I’m sure they’re pretend it’s correct.

I would surely try and fix that myself...BFH!

After looking hard at the picture I see it now it looks like some fatass used the bumper step and knocked it down some I would loosen the bumper bolts and see if you can push it back up and retighten.

Take the bumper off and you want have to worry about it

I think it’s normal. Bumper needs to be level but the truck has rake.

Mine is similar. Doesn’t show as much since it’s a dark color and hides the gap better.

Hello,

Was the rear bumper fixed ? I have the same issue with my 2020 Sierra Denali. If it’s been fixed can you please share how it was fixed?

Thank you.

Thank you.

To fix it I partially removed the rear bumper and added washers to the bottom 2 of the 4 main bolts, to shim it into alignment.
