Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Ford Edge (2007-2014) I generation (U387) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Introducing the Kolchuga® skid plate for the Ford Edge (2007-2014) I generation (U387), designed to provide robust protection for critical components beneath your vehicle. This protection is made from 2 mm steel, serving as a formidable shield for your engine and gearbox. With its durable construction, it effectively safeguards your oil pan and transmission against potential damage from road hazards.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
This skid plate specifically covers the gearbox and engine, ensuring comprehensive protection against various impacts. The design features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and shock-absorbing capabilities, allowing the shield to deform safely upon impact. Additionally, ventilation openings are included to maintain optimal cooling for the engine and transmission.
Kolchuga® protection defends against damage from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, making it an essential accessory for any driver. Its robust construction not only reduces the risk of costly repairs but also improves aerodynamics for better fuel efficiency. Installation is straightforward, mounting directly to the factory points without the need for drilling or modifications.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
