Installation Manual: View Installation Manual & Documents
Weight: 15 kg
The Ford Ranger PX2 and PX3 are some of the most capable utes on Australian roads, but fitting a winch has always meant committing to a full aftermarket bull bar. Not anymore. The RIVAL 4x4 Hidden Winch Mount slides behind your factory Ranger bumper, delivering 15 kg of reinforced steel winch cradle that’s completely invisible from the outside. Your Ranger keeps its factory face for the daily commute and the client meeting, while you carry genuine self-recovery capability for those weekends when the Watagan trails get slippery or the beach track at Stockton turns to deep soft sand. The matte black powder coat ensures the mount stays corrosion-free for years, even in the moisture-rich environment behind your bumper.

Why Choose This Product?
-
Factory Looks, Recovery Muscle: Your Ranger keeps its clean PX2/PX3 front end, but behind that factory bumper sits 15 kg of reinforced steel ready to anchor any standard 4WD winch. It’s the best of both worlds for Rangers that work hard during the week and play harder on weekends.
-
Proven Steel Engineering: The reinforced steel construction distributes winch loads across the Ranger’s chassis rails, not through a single point. This means safer, more effective recoveries whether you’re pulling straight or at an angle.
-
Matte Black Powder Coat Durability: The space behind your bumper collects moisture, road spray, and mud. RIVAL’s powder coat finish creates a durable barrier against corrosion, even in coastal and tropical environments.
-
Complete Kit — Everything in the Box: The fitting kit includes every bracket, bolt, and fastener you need. No sourcing extra hardware, no trips to Bunnings mid-install.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Ford Ranger is one of Australia’s most popular 4WD utes, and its owners take them everywhere — from the sand dunes of the Coorong to the river crossings of the Kimberley. A hidden winch mount means your recovery equipment is always ready, always protected, and never an eyesore. The matte black powder coat handles the salt spray of Ningaloo Reef camping, the humidity of Far North Queensland, and the abrasive red dust that sandblasts everything west of the Great Dividing Range. When the track gets serious, your winch will be in perfect working order because it’s been shielded from the elements the whole time.
