Hello ,looking for a 2024 ford ranger xl skidplate kit that will fit this truck

[RangerDangerStranger]

The rival tank plate is on backorder right now though. There's some alternative, but I like the rival one. The front plate a bit pricey at almost 400 bucks or over 400. But what are you gonna do. the plate behind it, that's only 45 bucks and then the transfers only 35. the transmission plate, i have to get one of those. Haven't decided if I'm gonna go the rival or the other one. there's also a rear differential plate that's available stock Ford part. But yeah, all four parts, front skid from the Ranger, the engine and transfer case from the bronco, which actually are the same as the Ranger parts, gas tank from rival, and you get a differential plate from Ford, and of course the transmission plate you got a choice Rival or that other one. pretty sure you should have the brackets for the front plate install without a problem.

OK RangerDangerStranger, on the front of my 2024 ford ranger xl there are towhooks that are bolted on ,is that the bracket you are talking about,,so on the transmission skid plate from rival you are certain that it will fit !! the reason that I'm watching what I'm doing, I had called RCI ,the ranger 2019-2023 skid plate kit and they said this kit would fit my ranger 2024 4x4 , even got the gastank from them we I received that kit about a month later, NONE of the 5 skids fit this truck not even CLOSE RangerDangerStranger!!

The 2019 through 2023 and the 24 are completely different frames. all the part numbers I gave you will fit, because they're on my truck right now. Except for the transmission plate, but I know that'll fit too. pretty sure you have the holes in the brackets, for the front plate, if not, you could always just pick up the brackets later, but I'm pretty sure you have.them

OK RangerDangerStranger thanks again for all your help, I will keep you posted, I'll order this stuff tomorrow, and when I get them in and let you know how things go and if I need extra advice,!!!

Yes, they bolt together exactly like the oem plastic ones. I also added the two front air dams from the FX4 that are in front of the tires.

Where do you put air dams ?

Ford lists them as spoilers.....

The brackets for the front skid plate are the same ones used for the plastic skid plate. The tow hooks mounts are different. Everything needed should be there.

Thanks Carbon6G for your help and info so I don't need brackets to bolt on my undercarriage in front, guys are a big help, like I said called nearly every ford dealer in my state and no one knew anything, RangerDangerStranger, how did you find out that the bronco skids was interchangeable with the rangers !!! PS to Carbon6G, what year and model of ranger do you own!!

No, you should be able to order the skid plate only, remove the plastic one and install the metal one without ordering anything extra.

I've got a 2024 XLT Sport 4x4.

Well, there was another on here about the Bronco transfer case plate being a fit. I got one and it is a fit. So i was then looking for the engine plate for the Ranger, which i could not find a part number for. I was able to find the P/N for the Bronco plate after a bit of digging. being that the Ranger and Bronco share the frame for the most part, thought i'd try it. fit perfect.

Hey RangerDangerStranger, on that bronco engine skid is there a opening to where you can get to the oil drain plug to change your oil of you have to remove the plate !! wow so many questions that need answered!!

 

[RangerDangerStranger]

yeah, there's an opening, you can Google it and there's some pictures of the actual plate on eBay as well. It's the same as the Ranger plate. Just the Ranger part numbers are lagging here in the US. The front skid plate though is different I believe between the bronco and the Ranger. If not physically, then certainly the Ranger is silver. Make sure you get the Ranger front skid. all my stuff is installed, except the trans plate. I'll probably go Rival on that one. I'll give you another Easter egg. If you know someone who has access to Forscan, you could unlock all the other driving modes that the FX four has, they'll show up on your screen you can select them! and if you got the tow package, you can add an aftermarket red arc trailer brake controller, will give you your full 7500 pound tow capacity. Is plug-in play connector in the foot well. You get the one for the bronco.
