prevent? maybe
inflict? for sure

How can something made out of some kind of hard rubber compound inflict damage?

It's incidents like this that I bought the superbumper when I had my Ranger. It is now on the rear of my Explorer.

This is my small insurance...hopefully it'll transmit damages to the tow bar before the frame/body...

I didn't see that but yeah, sounds about right.
I got barely scraped on the very back of my passenger quarter panel and just for that and the bumper it was $4400
It's crazy

this was almost $5k and took them a week, but I got a new truck back, They even Washed and Waxed it, armor all the tires and vacuumed the damn thing, I haven't even done that in two years LOL

CarStar, I got a text every day, a phone call every other day it was crazy service and they fixed a few nicks that were not even close to where the guy hit me
Statefarm was his insurance company they were great too, I was back in my truck one week from the hit, gave me a rental that made me want my truck back even more LOL
see the R in Ranger? they left a few drips of wax I had to clean off LOL

Part sales are a cash cow for auto mfgrs. I've often pondered the cost of rebuilding an entire vehicle from the OEM parts. ...makes my head hurt.

Exactly why I purchased mine. My custom tailgate took too much time and money to build to have it damaged by some bonehead on his phone. Plus I have heard it will take out his radiator and transmission cooler. Lesson learned!

Just got my Rhino step/guard. Cheaper than the WeatherTech Bumpstep and you don't need a tool to remove it. It is only about $35 and comes with a locking hitch pin, which would be at least half that. I used the pin I already had since the key is on my biking, tubing, towing, traveling key chain.
Engineered and designed in US, but made overseas. Comes with a bunch of cool stickers if you're into that.

Rhino sends stickers with all their stuff.

Does the step look crooked like in the photo?

No. Must be the angle or camera weirdness. There is about 8" more inserted into the hitch and the protrusion is adjustable.
