ALMONT4WD Standard Fuel Tank Skid Plate for Ranger Raptor
The ALMONT4WD Standard Fuel Tank Skid Plate is a targeted underbody protection upgrade for Ford Ranger Raptor owners who keep the standard fuel tank and drive on rough tracks, worksites or expedition routes. It shields the fuel tank area from rocks, ruts and trail debris, helping reduce the risk of damage to one of the most vulnerable parts underneath the vehicle.
This is the standard tank version. If your Ranger Raptor has a 140L long-range tank, choose the ALMONT4WD Long Ranger fuel tank skid plate instead.
Why Fuel Tank Underbody Protection Matters
Off-road driving exposes the underside of the Ranger Raptor to sharp stones, deep ruts, breakover contact and debris thrown up by the tyres. A hard strike around the fuel tank area can quickly become expensive, especially when the vehicle is being used away from easy recovery or workshop support.
The ALMONT4WD fuel tank skid plate forms a 6 mm Duraluminium AW5083 H111 barrier below the tank area. It is designed to take the contact before the tank does, helping deflect impacts and protect the fuel system area during demanding use.
Choose the Correct Ranger Raptor Variant
Select the variant that matches your vehicle before ordering:
- Next Gen Raptor - 3.0L Petrol - PDFRD6Raptor 1
- Next Gen Raptor - 2.0L Diesel 2022+ - PDFRD6Raptor 2
- Ranger Raptor 2019-2022 - PDFRD6Raptor 3
This is a Ranger Raptor fuel tank guard, not a universal Ford Ranger skid plate. The key buying decision is the vehicle variant and fuel tank type. If you are unsure which option suits your build, contact Hoonies Adrenaline before purchase.
Who This Standard Fuel Tank Skid Plate Is For
This ALMONT4WD skid plate suits Ranger Raptor drivers who want focused fuel tank protection without buying a complete armour kit immediately. It is a strong choice for vehicles used on green lanes, rocky tracks, overland trips, muddy worksites or regular off-road days where the underside is exposed to repeated contact.
- Owners keeping the standard Ranger Raptor fuel tank
- Off-road and expedition builds needing extra underside protection
- Drivers who want to reduce impact risk around the fuel tank area
- Ranger Raptor owners building ALMONT4WD underbody armour in stages
Key Benefits of the ALMONT4WD Fuel Tank Skid Plate
- Protects the Ford Ranger Raptor fuel tank area from trail debris and underside impacts
- Standard fuel tank version, separated from the 140L long-range tank plate
- 6 mm Duraluminium AW5083 H111 construction for a strong aluminium protection barrier
- 15 kg listed weight, giving protection without turning the plate into a full underbody system
- No-drill design using factory mounting points, based on the documented fitment approach
- Works as a single targeted guard or as part of a wider ALMONT4WD skid plate setup
Completing Ranger Raptor Underbody Armour
If you want full-length protection rather than a single fuel tank guard, compare this targeted upgrade with the ALMONT4WD Ranger Raptor full underbody plate kit. The full kit is the better route when the aim is broader underside coverage in one purchase.
For staged builds, the fuel tank plate can be combined with other ALMONT4WD guards in high-risk impact zones. Popular next areas to consider include the Ranger Raptor gearbox and transfer skid plate and the Ranger Raptor rear differential skid plate.
Installation and Before Ordering Checks
The skid plate is designed for no-drill installation using the Ranger Raptor factory mounting points. Professional fitting is recommended if you are not familiar with underbody armour installation, especially where the vehicle has already seen off-road use.
- Confirm your Ranger Raptor engine and year variant before selecting an option
- Confirm the vehicle is using the standard fuel tank, not a 140L long-range tank
- Check the condition of factory mounting points before installation
- Inspect the plate and mountings after heavy off-road use or a significant underside impact
- Clear trapped mud, stones and debris during routine cleaning
