ARB StealthBar for Ford Ranger Mk8 Wildtrak: 6 Sensor Variant Overview
The ARB SmartBar StealthBar for the Ford Ranger Mk8 Wildtrak (2023 onwards, 6 sensor variant) is a purpose-built front-end protection system designed to replace the factory bumper while maintaining the vehicle's modern styling and advanced safety features. Engineered by ARB for the Wildtrak, this StealthBar variant is tailored for owners seeking robust impact protection, seamless integration with factory sensors, and reliable support for off-road accessories.
How the StealthBar Enhances Your Wildtrak
This StealthBar is designed to absorb and dissipate impact energy, helping to minimise damage from animal strikes and off-road obstacles. Its advanced UV-stabilised polymer construction allows the bar to compress and return to shape after many impacts, reducing the risk of permanent deformation and lowering potential repair costs compared to traditional steel bars. The StealthBar also features integrated side wing and underbody protection, shielding vulnerable areas from debris and trail hazards.
Application: Built for the Ford Ranger Mk8 Wildtrak (6 Sensor)
This variant is engineered specifically for the Ford Ranger Mk8 Wildtrak (2023 onwards) with six parking sensors. It is fully airbag compatible and designed to integrate with the vehicle’s original safety and driver assistance systems. The StealthBar accommodates most factory accessories and is compatible with ARB’s underbody protection, recovery points, and winch systems. This makes it suitable for daily driving, touring, and demanding off-road use where both safety and functionality are essential.
