Fuel Tank and Canister Protector for Ford Ranger Hybrid 2025+ Almont4wd

Skid Plate High-performance fuel tank for the 2025+ Ford Ranger Hybrid

The new Ford Ranger PX4 Hybrid (2025 model and later versions) imposes new protection standards due to the presence of sensitive components under the chassis. Almont4wd, European leader in Skid Plate off-road vehicle manufacturer [name missing] has developed a specific protective plate to secure not only the fuel tank, but also the canister system, which is particularly vulnerable on hybrid engines. Skid Plate is essential for users wishing to take their vehicle onto technical tracks or rough construction sites without risking costly immobilization due to an impact under the body.

A design Heavy Duty in Duralumin AW5083 8mm

The strength of this Skid Plate resides in the use of Duralumin AW5083 H111 certified. With a massive thickness of 8mm, this material offers significantly greater structural strength than Skid Plate made of standard steel while limiting the suspended weight. The H111 finish guarantees excellent resistance to salt corrosion and chemical attack. This plate "Heavy Duty" is designed to slide over obstacles (rocks, stumps, ridges) by distributing the impact energy over the strong points of the chassis, thus avoiding any deformation of the vital elements of the hybrid powertrain.

Perfect integration and optimized airflow

Engineering Almont4wd Ensures precise installation that respects the ventilation zones necessary for the proper functioning of the fuel system and canister. The design is engineered to prevent the accumulation of mud or debris, thus facilitating maintenance after off-road use. This Skid Plate integrates harmoniously with the other elements of Skid Plate of the range, creating a smooth surface under the vehicle which also improves aerodynamics at high speed on the motorway.

What is the difference between standard aluminum and the Duralumin AW5083?

THE Duralumin AW5083 is a magnesium-enriched alloy. It is much more rigid and impact-resistant than conventional aluminum used in industry. Its 8mm thickness allows it to absorb violent shocks where 5mm or 6mm plates might bend and come into contact with the tank.

Does the installation require drilling into the Ranger's chassis?

No, this protector was developed to utilize the existing threaded anchor points on the Ford Ranger PX4 chassis. Installation is quick, completely reversible, and does not affect your vehicle's manufacturer warranty.
