Short Summary
The Offroad Animal Predator Bar for the Next Gen Ford Ranger is a hoopless, one-piece welded steel bar that replaces the factory bumper without cutting the bumper or grille. It weighs 55kg, sits 150-160mm out from the grille and includes integrated recovery points. It suits touring, work and off-road builds across the Western Cape and the rest of South Africa.
Why This Product
Next Gen Ranger owners often want front-end protection that does not make the vehicle heavy or bulky. The Predator Bar is built from steel, works with Tech Pack and forward parking sensors, and has an optional stealth hoop for owners who want to add a light bar later. It was designed and tested in Australia.
At 4Matt Campers, we help clients across the Western Cape choose the right bar, hoop option, lighting setup and fitment plan for their Ranger, so they can avoid costly mistakes and build with confidence.
