It weighs around 7kg, so it adds underbody protection where the vehicle is most exposed without the weight penalty that comes with a steel plate. VIKOR cut it for the Super Duty and build it to work alongside their Super Duty bull bar range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat vehicles does this fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVariant\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYears\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRanger Super Duty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll cab styles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2025-Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRanger Next Gen (P703)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXL, XLS, XLT, Sport, Wildtrak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll cab styles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2022-Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDoes not fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRanger Raptor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual Cab\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2022-Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDoes not fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eVIKOR list this plate for the Ford Ranger Super Duty (2025+) only.

Underbody protection hangs off the lowest point of the vehicle and every kilogram of it comes out of your payload. At around 7kg this plate will slide over an obstacle rather than tear away, without loading up the front end the way a full steel plate does. On a vehicle that is already carrying a bar, a winch and a tray, that difference adds up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit a Ranger Next Gen or a Ranger Raptor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The Ranger Super Duty runs a different chassis and underbody layout to the Ranger Next Gen (P703) and the Ranger Raptor. VIKOR cut this plate specifically for the Super Duty, and they build separate plates for the Next Gen Ranger, the Next Gen Raptor and the Next Gen Everest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work with a VIKOR bull bar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. VIKOR state the plate integrates with their bull bar range for the Super Duty, including the Diablo Hybrid, and that it is an upgrade on the factory protection on a standard front end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs fitting included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The price is for the plate only. It is a hoist or stands job rather than a driveway job, so budget for a workshop unless you are set up for it.
