Scuff plates play an important role in protecting a vehicle’s door sills from scratches, dents and wear and tear. Ford Ranger scuff plates are designed to also enhance the vehicle’s rugged look. They’re a clever accessory for those who frequently use their vehicle for off-roading, hauling heavy loads, or driving on rough terrain.

Here are three products we recommend. They’re intended as a starting point, to give you an idea of what’s available. We’ve included information on Ford Australia’s genuine accessories, in case you’d prefer to stick to OEM.

  • What it is: A protective plate for door sills and steps
