[gonzo117]

I just noticed this bracket under the hood of my 2025 Ranger lariat FX4 2.7 L
Can anyone tell me what its used for?

Lots have wondered, still a mystery

hmmmmm, I'm seeing a starting point to mount an ARB single.

It may be air intake on the Aussie models

They all have it including the 2024 and no one figured it out.

That's what I was thinking, and Pirate Camp sells an ARB mount that fits in there between the diesel airbox and the firewall. recovery bottle. I don't think it will fit the US trucks though.

Actually it looks like this one on an Australian model. Looks like a ground wire in the back hole and another bracket screwed into the front hole for part of the hood support.

It's for an auxiliary battery kit.

Can you elaborate?

It's a ground mounting point.
