Thank you for this feedback... This is has been a colorful subject for us internally here....

I see you have already scanned the Ranger. I have plans to do the same so I can start designing these kinds of parts as well

You should make a option without the swingouts. Some people just want a strong bumper.

Personally not a fan of swing out tire carriers on pick ups, but to each their own.

yeah, that seems like a PITA. there also seem to be no pictures from the right; will this thing interfere with the sensors in the taillight?

This will be designed to work with the sensors on the taillight...

How much weight does it add which would reduce payload?

Bumper fully loaded without tire will be at 260LBS

Thats a sweet looking rear bumper! especially that tire holder and the gas can! Would love to know the towing payload capacity as well.

looking at 6700 lbs towing capacity

This is why I ditched the last bumper I had similar to this on a rig.

Can you swing the tyre and fuel can, out of the way, to open the tailgate?

On top of that they are imported from Portugal...

So the bumper and components are built in Portugal? Why is that?

AFN is one of the premier Global Mfg's of Off road bumpers.. We saw an opportunity for their designs and capacity in the ranger space and also several other Mid Sized Suv's here Domestically in the united states.. This is a high quality premium product and we're the NA distributor..

Like the style and function of the design. If the rear bumper included the sliders at little or no extra cost, I'd feel very tempted Choose this bumper over the competition. Add-on cost is too steep - and I'm not one to bat an eye on spending money nice things. Plug and play camera relocation is a must.

That is excellent question as I purchased Ranger for towing my travel trailer. Ought to watch the payload weight.
