Ford Racing has been a name synonymous with performance since it kicked off in 1901. It’s the high-performance arm of Ford Motor Company, and if you’re looking to pump up your ride, they’ve got the goods. Sure, they’ve rebranded to Ford Performance now, but the essence of what they do hasn’t changed a bit—quality upgrades that can take your vehicle to the next level.

Now, let’s talk about that racing heritage. Ford Racing has been in the motorsport game for over a century, and they’ve used that experience not just to build a name, but to show off what their vehicles can really do. Remember the epic showdown against Ferrari at the Le Mans 24 Hours? Yeah, that was a game-changer. It wasn’t just a win; it was a full-on blockbuster moment for Ford.

When it comes to their products, you can expect nothing less than top-notch performance. Working with one of the biggest names in the automotive world gives Ford Racing a leg up. They’ve got access to the blueprints of their vehicles, which means they can create upgrades that truly maximize your ride's potential. With a squad of engineers and designers who are at the top of their game, they’re not just throwing parts together—they’re crafting performance solutions that actually work.

So, if you’re thinking about upgrading your Ford, you can’t go wrong with Ford Racing. Their products are built right alongside Ford vehicles, so you know they’ll fit perfectly in the stock locations. Whether you’re looking for engine components, exhaust systems, or something else entirely, they’ve got you covered.

Take the Ford Racing Skid Plate Kit, for example. This bad boy is designed for Ford Ranger models from 1999 to 2022 that don’t have the factory front FX4 skid plate. It’s a solid upgrade if you’re into off-roading or just want to protect your undercarriage. It replaces the factory front air dam with a tough, steel front bash plate, finished in a sleek silver. It’ll not only give your truck a bit of rugged flair but also keep it safe from whatever you might encounter on the trail.

Here are some quick specs for you:

• Compatible with 4x4 trucks that don’t have the FX4 package.
• If you’ve got a 4x2, you’ll need Ford Performance Tow Hooks and an Upper Valance for installation.
• This skid plate fits the FX2 Package using factory tow hooks.
• Packaged dimensions are 5" x 24.5" x 51", and it weighs in at 20 lbs.
• Made right here in the USA.
