Grille Guard for 2020 Ford Ranger That Retains Tow Hooks

Updated 10/13/2020 | Published 10/09/2020

Question:

With the Westin grille guards I can not retain the factory tow hooks per the install instructions. Would you know if there is a bracket kit that would fit the Westin grille guards and allow me to retain the factory tow hooks and front skid plate?

We do have an option for a grille guard for your 2020 Ford Ranger that allows you to retain the factory tow hooks and skid plate, though there isn't a bracket kit for the Westin grille guards that allows this. Instead, to retain the tow hooks on your '20 Ranger, the grille guard you will need is from Aries:

- Aries Grille Guard # AA56FB

As you can see by the cut out of the linked installation instructions, the brackets for this grille guard get attached at the same spot on the frame as the tow hooks, but fit in between the hooks and the frame mounting location. So both the tow hooks and skid plate will only need to be temporarily removed during the installation.
