Sensor coverage on any steel rear bar sits slightly differently to the plastic original, so have the system checked once the bar is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a tie-down point and a recovery point?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tie-down point restrains a load. A recovery point takes a shock load from a snatch strap. The Nova has tie-down points rated to 3.5 tonne, which is a load restraint rating, not a snatch recovery rating. If you want to recover from the rear of the vehicle, fit a purpose-built rated recovery point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 3.5 tonne tow rating work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHamer rate the bar to tow 3.5 tonnes. Your vehicle carries its own towing capacity, and the lower of the two figures is the one that applies to what you can legally tow. Talk through the towbar arrangement with your fitter before the bar goes on, since that varies with how the vehicle is already set up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit a Ranger Raptor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The Raptor takes the Raptor-specific version, part MX204-FR22, listed separately as the Ford Ranger Raptor Next-Gen (2022-Current) Nova Series Rear Bar.
