What are recovery boards used for?

Recovery boards provide traction for tires when a vehicle gets stuck in mud, sand, or snow, allowing you to self-recover without a winch.

Are recovery boards better than a winch?

Recovery boards and winches serve different purposes. Boards are great for solo recovery or soft terrain, while winches handle heavy pulls and steep recoveries.

Which recovery board brands are the best?

Maxtrax, ARB, Rhino USA, and Smittybilt are top-rated brands known for durable, high-traction designs that perform in real-world off-road conditions.
