Choose ARB bumpers when you want a purpose-built front end. If you plan to flat tow, only use a bumper specifically rated for attaching a tow bar; otherwise go with a flat-tow-rated bumper or a baseplate kit.
Not necessarily. Some ARB front bumpers are not rated to be used for flat towing. Check for a stated flat-tow rating before planning to attach a tow bar. If there's no rating, use a flat-tow-rated bumper or add a baseplate kit to your vehicle. Confirm compatibility with your tow bar system.
Choose an ARB bumper for robust front-end protection, or consider a grille guard if you want protection that covers different areas. If you need underbody protection, a skid plate may be a better match. Check what's available for your vehicle since options can be limited for some models.
Verify the ARB bumper is rated for flat towing. Look for a stated rating that allows attaching a tow bar. If the bumper isn't rated, plan on using a baseplate kit or a bumper specifically rated for flat towing. Double-check vehicle fitment before you buy parts.
