Rear End Protector

[Philip Lewis]

Evening All, Getting my van in 2 weeks and so excited, Highline 140hp barn doors.
I would like opinions from experienced owners of what they have fitted to the rear of their vans to prevent parking “nudges”. I have considered a tow bar fitting and also looked at the Rhino rear steps which is my preferred option but are expensive. What other options have members gone for?

Thats a question I don't think I've seen asked before.

Out of interest, do you anticipate issues with your rear bumper? Are you using your van as a work van.
I know the Rhino bars you mean, but they are not the most athletically pleasing accessories.
As for what I use to protect my rear bumper, parking sensors and careful driving.

I’m confident with my own parking (99% of the time) it’s the other clowns in Europe that worry me!

Rear parking sensors are a must.

Front parking sensors are a nice addition. Especially is you have a nice splitter on the front..


Rear parking camera on the nav screen is a nice upgrade (halfway through this mod myself)

Rear bumper protector.... for loading gear in/out of the van..... is a must.

That's what we have for a working van..and so far no issues.

Never bothered with anymore "physical" upgrades like tow bars Etc....... it's worked out ok for us so far.

Rear bumper protector was the first thing I bought....... I am amazed that the vans don’t have them as standard .... and mine is a high line.

£43 well spent and so easy to fit ...

What one did you go for, any pics?

I got a free one from the dealer as the grommet was hanging out on the rear door and they were a little embarrassed. Well chuffed though with a free one considering how much they usually are. Will fit it shortly.

Vanstyle Etc does a load of them in different styles...

I've got the OEM standard plain one.

Looks like this..
