Aluminium Underrun Protection Engine & Steering Mercedes X-Class

Premium Underbody Protection for the X-Class – Highly effective protection for your pick-up’s engine, front axle, and steering linkage during work, hunting, and off-road excursions!

The MorE 4x4 aluminum combination skid plate for the Mercedes-Benz X-Class (W470 series) (suitable for all model years from 2017 onwards) offers highly robust, comprehensive protection for the most important mechanical components at the vehicle front and the front underbody: the engine (incl. oil pan), the front axle differential, and the vulnerable tie rods and steering components.

The X-Class combines stylish comfort with the rugged durability of a classic utility vehicle. However, because the pick-up has independent front suspension, the front differential housing and sensitive steering components are inherently unprotected in the potential impact zone. An careless bump on sharp rocks, massive tree stumps, hard embankment edges, or bottoming out in deep ruts on construction sites or in forests can irreparably bend the tie rods or tear open the engine oil pan – which results in immediate oil loss and catastrophic engine damage.

This vehicle-specific 3-in-1 underbody protection perfectly closes this critical safety gap in the underbody. Thanks to its clever design, this skid plate can be installed completely independently and separately, without necessarily requiring the remaining plates of the underbody system to be installed. This version is precisely designed for installation under the original factory front bumper.

💡 Important note regarding the product images: To show you the full extent of the underbody protection on the vehicle, some photos depict multiple skid plates. The scope of delivery for this item includes only the front engine, differential, and tie rod skid plate. The other skid plates (for transmission, transfer case, etc.) are not included but can be purchased separately in our shop.

Your advantages at a glance:

• Perfectly vehicle-specific: Custom-made for the Mercedes X-Class (from 2017) – suitable for all engine variants (such as the X 220 d, X 250 d, and the powerful V6 diesel X 350 d).

• 3-in-1 protection area: Highly effectively secures the engine, the front axle differential, and the entire steering linkage (tie rods) against mechanical impacts and frontal impacts from below.

• Suitable for the series front: Specially designed to fit seamlessly under the original factory bumper.

• Lightweight & extremely robust: Made from high-quality, 6 mm thick aluminum. This offers the ideal balance between uncompromising stability for tough off-road use and minimal added weight for the front axle.

• Easy plug-and-play installation: No drilling, cutting, or welding on the vehicle required! The included mounting kit uses only the original factory drilled holes and threads in the robust ladder frame. Reversion to the series condition is possible at any time without problems.
