Gobi-X Sump & Front Diff Bash Plate — Ford Ranger (2023 onwards)

Short Product Summary

The Gobi-X Sump & Front Diff Bash Plate bolts underneath the new-generation Ford Ranger to shield the sump and front differential from rocks and stumps. It's built from marine-grade aluminium, so it adds protection without piling on weight.

Why This Product

On a rutted track or a rocky climb, the sump and front differential are usually the first things to make contact with the ground, and a hard knock can mean an oil leak or a cracked housing a long way from a workshop. This plate sits between those components and the terrain, bolted straight onto the Ranger's own chassis mounts.

Key Features

• Marine-grade aluminium build – keeps the plate corrosion-resistant without piling on extra weight
• Direct bolt-on fitment – goes straight onto the Ranger's existing chassis mounting points with no changes to the vehicle
• Shields the sump and front differential – against rocks, stumps and other rough-terrain strikes
• 5182 marine-grade aluminium – lighter than a comparable steel plate over the same area
• Works alongside other Gobi-X underbody plates – so you can build up protection across the rest of the chassis over time

Ideal For

• Overlanders on remote gravel routes who cross rocky sections where the underbody can catch
• Technical trail drivers who need the sump and diff protected when the Ranger's approach angle gets tested
• Ranger owners planning a full underbody kit who want this plate to work alongside further Gobi-X protection
• Anyone unsure about their Ranger's exact build and who wants us to confirm fitment before ordering
