It is tougher than the OEM plate and covers more. It protects the EPAS steering unit, front differential, front cross-member, engine, engine bay and the low-hanging intercooler on EcoBoost models. It works with all motors, EcoBoost and V8 included, and uses six mounting points for durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt mounts to the frame horns behind the tow hooks, so it does not interfere with aftermarket bumpers or a hidden winch. The two-piece design lets you remove a section for maintenance, and the oil filter is reachable by removing just two bolts and sliding the front panel off. The steel version is black powder coated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits 2009-2014 Ford F-150 4x4 and the 2007-2017 Expedition; RCI also says it fits the Navigator.
