Rear bumper protection

[Miamibert]

Needless to say, Miami drivers suck. I added this "step" for a little protection and can be used to loop a tow strap through it without D rings or hooks. It's pretty solid.

That's not protection.

Here's what you need:

I've got one on my GEN1 and am very, very happy with it.

Miamibert That is probably cast. I have seen them break. It was a smittybilt that I saw broke. You would be better to get a clevis off a hummer that straddles the 2.5 inch tow hitch tube and use a grade 5 to secure the tow hitch

^^^What @dewalt said. That step is almost certainly cast, and it'll shatter like glass upon heavy impact. And it's only 6 or 7 inches wide, providing absolutely no protection to the vast majority of the rear of the truck. If that thing provides any protection at all, it will do nothing in the event of an off-center impact.

Not sure how heavy this is. Looks good with the rubbers for impact

I like it but want to keep them away from the bumper. I have an adjustable 3 ball drop hitch on my F250 and that thing has saved me at least 4 times over the years. Didn't want the hitch on the Raptor so tried this.

The cast issue is definitely something to think about. As for off center, at an angle or far off center, there's noting I can do about that without going crazy. I have had my hitch on my F250 hit several times in traffic. It's always been somewhere between the center and the headlight of the offending vehicle. I didn't go with a hitch because I didn't like the look on the Raptor. Time will tell how it holds up.

I saw it but tough it was kinda ugly.

I doubt it's forged for under $60... I will look into the clevis.
