Is the rear bumper for an X the same as the one on the Super Duty? What about an aftermarket "Ranch Hand" type? Will one from a truck fit an X? Thanks.
Yes, the Ranch Hand will fit. The toughest part is taking the factory hitch off. It is attached with break-away bolts but we air chiseled them out...other than than, smooth sailing. We had to drill the holes for the back-up sensors, piece of cake. My Excursionator

I am not quite sure what you mean by..."in the factory bumper they use that tapered collar so that option was out"
We used the same housing mounts that were in the bumper. Once we removed the sensors from their respective housing-collars, we pried them out (carefully)from the old bumper and re-installed them in the new one. Sensors went back-in and that's about it.
