2019-2020 Ford Ranger Tow Hooks & Conversion Kits

If you get stuck in the mud, then you'll want a tow hook or a D-Ring shackle to get out of the mess. Ford Performance offers a great solution to get to safety with their 2019-2020 Ford Ranger Ford Performance Red Tow Hooks (Pair). This pair of tow hooks can withstand the rigor of your truck being pulled out of treacherous conditions. You can trust that your friend will pull you to safety without failure. The hook's new bold look stands out and resists corrosion with a nice red powder coat finish. To install this hook, just remove the skid plate, factory bolts, front tow covers and front tow hook assemblies. Once installed, your tow hook covers and skid plate can be reinstalled. Certain D-ring isolators are compatible with different types of 2019-2020 Ford Ranger Front Bumpers, so you will want to verify compatibility before ordering. Alternatively, you could try a 2019-2020 Ford Ranger Rough Country Tow Hook to Shackle Conversion Kit (Mounts, D-Ring, & Rubber Isolators). The Tow Hook to Shackle Conversion Kit also offers a better recovery option than the Ranger's factory tow hook. This kit replaces the hook with a d-ring shackle for much easier access and convenience. Mounts, a d-ring and rubber isolators are included in the package. The mounts bolt directly to the frame and do not lose any strength that your factory hook provided. The mounts were designed to fit to both factory and aftermarket Ranger bumpers, but only aftermarket ones that retain factory tow hooks. Any standard 3/4" d-ring will be compatible with this mount if you choose to do so. Shackles with 7/8" size threaded pins can also be fitted to the mount. A durable steel construction also ensures the system can withstand any abuse you may encounter when being pulled to safey. Rubber isolators top off this kit. Some cutting of your rubber filler panel will be required for installation.

2019-2020 Ford Ranger Recovery Straps

2019-2020 Ford Ranger Recovery Straps should be standard equipment for anyone heading off-road. They are designed carefully so they can handle the strain of pulling heavy aftermarket Rangers out of muddy muck or icy sheets. You can trust that these straps can bend and stretch without compromising their integrity. One cost effective but effective solution is the Rugged Ridge 4" x 30ft Recovery Strap (40,000lbs). Rugged Ridge's Recovery Strap is a budget-friendly recovery option that can still handle huge forces and help you pull your truck out of harm's way. The strap is made out of a mildew-resistant nylon material and abrasion resistant reinforced eyes to withstand abuse. This material absorbs shock waves better than polyester and its elasticity quickens your recovery. Measuring 4" wide and 30' long, you'll have plenty of material to perform your recovery, but additional sizes are available. A maximum breaking strength of 40,000lbs ensures that the strap can withstand heavy-duty recoveries. Its orange color stands out and helps you find the strap quicker amidst your gear. Another option is the Bubba Rope "Bubba" Professional Grade Mudder's Recovery/Towing Rope. This rope may be pricier than Rugged's strap, but you will get much more recovery capability from it. The 30ft long Bubba Rope has a surprisingly durable 28,600 lbs. of breaking strength, making it strong enough and more than capable of moving and towing decked out Ranger builds. Kinetic energy during recovery helps the rope to stretch and actively get your immobilized vehicle moving. An inner nylon core is braided looser to absorb more of the lower loads while an outer nylon jacket is braided tighter for higher loads. Bulky and dangerous steel chains are more prone to snapping and launching back at the driver during recovery, but the Bubba Rope drops to the ground without any back-lashing recoil. Either rope can be securely stored in a 2019-2020 Ford Ranger Undercover Swing Case Storage Box (Driver's) or 2019-2020 Ford Ranger Undercover Swing Case Storage Box (Passenger Side).

You can opt for just a winch mount with the 2019-2020 Ford Ranger Warn Trans4mer Gen III Midframe Winch Mount Package or a grille guard kit with the 2019-2020 Ford Ranger Westin HDX Winch Mount Grille Guard (Black).
