Another maverick hit in the rear.

[The Cyber Orange Guy.]

Aloha.

Been to bussy but with itchy to post my experience with this.

When 1st got my maverick on 2022 during car washes when I was stepping out of the bed I felt, the fall was so brutal that I still freeze only thinking about it, the slamming on the floor was sudden and powerful that Right away started looking for something to step safely and avoid unnecessary injuries.

After like forever I decided and order the:
Bully BBS-1104L

This thing has paid itself off by giving me peace of mind while stepping out of the truck bed, other good thing is the many times it saved my truck from the walls (me backing up) or in parking lots when ppl just hit you and act like nothing happened.

But the most important one was when someone had a brake malfunction and slamed into my truck, yes was a low speed (bellow 35mph or so) but it was enough to pretty much destroy front of the other person vehicle, yep the hood+lights +radiator+condenser etc. My maverick ? Glad you asked, like nothing even happened I checked on a shop just on case and like nothing even happened, no even a scratch.

I'm by no means saying this best thing since slice bread but on my case is been awesome, with so many histories about maverick been totaled getting rear ended this thing definitely could save you from lots of headaches and your truck on the same time.

Nobody were injured, the person was super nice and with a great personality, I was sad because the person vehicle but happy my truck didn't suffered from the maverick rear ended finale that we see here on the forums more oftenly that we would want to see.

Amazon took forever to deliver the new one, but definitely worth the wait and every penny spent on it, hopefully nobody else rear end my maverick but if it happens again I feel confident enough that this thing have my back.

Underneath structural damage?
None?

I keep my bike rack hitch at the tow hitch receiver

I want one!
Especially on my replacement Maverick. My first one got totaled from behind (bent chassis rail).

I wonder if that thing affects the backup warning system? ( Sorry, can't remember the technical name.)

The hitch step? No

Probably the rear-cross traffic alert.

Putting a step like you did on the hitch just means that it is easier to push in the hitch and crumple the "frame" members, writing the truck off. You'd be a lot better off ripping that thing out and letting someone hit the crush area of the bumper assembly instead, better protecting the parts that cause it to be written off.

Not in my experience. Yes the bumper absorbed energy: the damage looked superficial. The frame rail was crumpled anyway.
Now replaced with an XLT with a hitch, I’m thinking of putting something in it:

Yes that would affect the distance measuring alert obviously.
Actually I need one of these for my FRONT bumper.

Luckily none damage whatsoever. Didn't even bother contacting the other part, I was just happy and paid the other bully from my pocket.

No problem with measuring alert, and yes I would love to have some protection on the front as well, like those vehicles on the 80's and 90's, now days is not that ofen that you see trucks or suv's with those.

That is incredible it still didn’t blow that bumper apart!! Do you have pictures of the passenger side after the car was peeled off???

Perfect!

This is partly why we have kept the trailer hitch on our Maverick.

Was sitting at an intersection waiting to turn right. Light was red going across, but green for left turn signals. Lady behind me wasn’t paying attention, saw the light change, thought we had the go and drove right into the truck. Trailer hitch went through her front bumper and pierced her radiator. You could see the trail of coolant as I drove into the gas station lot. Her car was damaged, while I just needed to replace the rear crash pad and bumper. Could have been a lot worse if the trailer hitch was not there. Trailer hitch has not come off since then
