Explore with confidence in your AWD Sprinter with the Van Compass Engine skid plate. Designed to create a strong, smooth surface to slide over or bash into. The skid plate protects your vital drivetrain components when off-road situations get a little out of hand. Made of 1/4" thick 5052 Aluminum and 3/16" high strength steel. The skid system is 100% bolt on with all the hardware provided. Engine oil changes can be performed without removal of skid system. For additional protection add the transmission/transfer case skid plate and fuel tank skid plate!
With the release of the AWD Sprinter chassis in 2023, Mercedes changed the front subframe of the Sprinter and adapted a new powertrain to fit. This skid part number is specifically fit to the 2023+ AWD models with 4-cyl diesel and 9-speed auto transmission, and includes the over run mounts required to mount our skid plates (usually missing on a 3500).

Everything in the kit fit very well once I figured out the specific installation issues with my German-produced Sprinter 3500XD. The only reason I docked a star is that the kit should include 4x frame bolts that are installed on American made Sprinters but not on German ones. There also should be an "extra" larger bolt for the overrun bracket since this bolt is also not used/included on a German produced 3500XD. Both of these must be sourced from MB as standard bolts from a supply store do not have the same size flange edge. Excellent customer service call back from VC to help me out.
I installed engine, transmission, transfer case, and differential skid plates. Simple process just install them in order. That's as hard as it gets.
