ARB Underbody Protection for Ford Ranger T9 PX4 (2022+)
If you regularly take your Ranger PX4 beyond smooth tarmac, fitting a Ranger PX4 UVP from ARB is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. The factory underbody guards offer very limited impact resistance, whereas ARB’s dedicated steel UVP (Under Vehicle Protection) system is built to absorb hits from rocks, ruts and hidden obstacles before they reach critical components.
Why the Ranger PX4 UVP is essential
The UVP system is made up of multiple interlocking steel panels that run from the front crossmember rearwards. For the Ranger PX4, this layout is tuned to protect the sump, lower engine components and transmission from direct hits.
The Ranger PX4 UVP focuses protection exactly where the Ranger PX4 is most vulnerable, spreading impacts across strong steel surfaces so the plate takes the hit instead of your sump or gearbox.
Key benefits of ARB underbody protection
- Protection for sump, gearbox and key underbody components off-road and on rough worksites.
- Recessed mounting hardware to help the vehicle slide over rocks, ruts and ledges.
- Vehicle-specific design for the – not a generic one-size-fits-all part.
- Heavy-duty pressed and folded steel skid plates for serious impact resistance.
- Durable powder-coat finish to withstand UK road salt, mud and year-round weather.
Built for real-world off-road and work use
On technical lanes, washed-out farm tracks or construction sites, the front underside is usually first to strike. With ARB underbody protection fitted, the Ranger PX4 is much better equipped to cope with unexpected drops and sharp ledges, reducing the risk of cracked casings or punctured sumps.
For touring and overlanding, reliability is everything. Knowing that the underside of your Ranger PX4 has genuine ARB steel protection means you can focus on the line ahead rather than worrying about every rock and rut on the track.
Because ARB develops full vehicle packages, the underbody system is engineered with compatibility in mind. It sits correctly with ARB front protection and other accessories commonly fitted to serious Ranger PX4 builds.
