A front plate hangs at the nose of the vehicle, ahead of the front axle, where weight has the most leverage over the front springs. Every kilogram out there shows up in ride height and ride quality, so a plate that takes the hit without the mass is worth having. Alloy also does not rust where a stone strike takes the coating off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupplied as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle front plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFord Ranger PX2 and PX3, 2015 to 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne front bash plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot included: any further underbody plates, and fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this cover the transfer case and fuel tank?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This is the front plate and it is sold on its own, so the transfer case and the fuel tank are not covered by it.

This plate hangs at the nose of the vehicle, ahead of the front axle, so every kilogram works against the front springs and against your front axle load.
