Packaging was great. Install was straightforward and took about an hour. Skid plate is very high quality.

RIVAL Aluminum Transmission Skid Plate 2024-2026 Ford Ranger 2024-2026 Ford Ranger Raptor
Perfect fit on a Ford Ranger. This, along with a Fumoto drain plug, will make oil changes a breeze.
I ordered four skid plates. They all were perfect fits except for the transfer case one. (2025 Ford Ranger Fx4 Lariat). I saw a few other people also mentioned this. But with a slight modification, it’s on and looks great. Well made like Rival products. FYI Rival only posts 5 star reviews. I think this review should be a 4 due to the above issues but I didn't post.

Well made protection for your gas tank. Easy to install. Definitely wait for your gas tank to be near empty since you might have to move it a little to install.

Originally ordered the 3 piece skid plate set but was on the fence for the gas tank skid. Saw there was a discounted open box so I grabbed it thinking even if it was scratched or dinged it’s ok cause that’s going to eventually happen anyways. Received the delivery and the box looked liked it fell off of at least 5 UPS trucks! Surprisingly the skid plate was in pristine condition! I did the install by myself and was easier than I expected. Having the rear tires on ramps helped but thinking about it it might have been better to have the left side of the truck on the ramps? Highly recommend for the Ranger Raptor!

It was very easy to install! Haven't had the time to actually try it out off-road, but I'll be doing that in a few weeks. So far so good!
RIVAL Aluminum Engine Skid Plate 2022-2024 Ford Maverick EcoBoost 2022-2026 Ford Maverick Hybrid
Easy install. I replaced the bolts with security torx bolts to hopefully deter theft of the catalytic converters. I’ve recommended rival 4x4 to all my friends.
Solid plate and super easy to install. Love it!
Very sturdy products! My installing shop was impressed.

I have been an off-road enthusiast for quite some time and have owned many trail-capable vehicles. I know that it is critical to be prepared, and that includes recovery options. These recovery points are made of 3/4" thick steel, and have a smooth contours to allow the use of soft shackles. The black mounting plates RIVAL manufactured with this kit are much more secure than the factory mounts. In short, this is a well thought out, well designed, and well built recovery option that checks all the boxes for off-road enthusiasts.

I have ordered the entire undercarriage Rival system. I have a lowered Ford Maverick XLT AWD Hybrid. It handles completely flat like a performance car which was my goal. Because it is a hybrid it has a lot of vulnerable components underneath the truck protected by thin cheap fiberboard. Because it is lowered these parts are more at risk. Rival’s durable components were the answer I was looking for. I currently have the engine and transmission front plate and I am happily waiting for the rest on back order! Sept 30th cannot come soon enough! I cannot wait to get them and protect my valued investment! These amazing Rival aluminum plates are a complete home run!
Great product
Quality product. Completely bolt on. Even if you’re not going to wheel your RR hard think about protecting your plastic transmission pan from a semi-truck tire carcus!

Incredible quality! Great customer service!

Easy install. Surprisingly light for how sturdy the skid-plate seems. This item is the proper choice for a Ranger owner with the FX4 package who intends to keep the factory steel engine-skid-plate.

Fits great, all mounting points lined up just like they are supposed to.

Installed without problems and it will protect the under carriage a lot better than the stock plastic covers. I am considering one for the transmission. Thanks for a great product.
So this modification I had to pull out a second credit card because I wanted all of their skid plates. After I ordered, I was told that the front clip wasn’t available. It was back ordered. I don’t know why, but I called them and said I’ll just cancel that order and re-order it when it’s available I should’ve left it alone. Anyways, I received all five skid plates and proceeded to install them on a hot Saturday morning in my garage. Of course I throw down a moving blanket for a little bit of cushion and I drove the front of the truck up on some two by eights to give me a little chest room to remove the factory crap and install these quality plates was probably two hours you might notice in the video. I took a red paint marker and marked One Direction of the mounting bolt washer and plate just as an identifier if something should come loose cause honestly I didn’t torque them on. I use the half-inch ratchet and just put some pressure on it no Loctite unfortunately but I will check Next oil change. I love the plates. They look awesome under the truck. I know I’ve got protection for gas tank transfer case transmission and engine. I will watch for the radiator portion to become available and get that ASAP. Buy once cry once.
This thing is awesome. It fit like a glove. 10 minutes and I was done. I can’t wait for the catalytic converter cover to be in stock. Only thing I am going to change is the the hex head bolts to a security head bolt. I don’t want anyone stealing this sweet skid plate.
Easy installation and easy access to oil drain plug and filter.
Haven't bashed it yet but it looks good! Easy to install. Heavy duty. Can't complain.
Installation couldn't be easier. Very happy with this product. Looking forward to doing more business with you.

So glad that Rival made an engine skid plate for the AWD Maverick Hybrid! I installed this skid plate - they include the perfect hardware and good instructions - and now my oil changes will no longer involve dropping the cheap-y felt splash guard every time. The removable plate for the drain plug access is perfectly positioned for a normal oil change or for installing a Fumoto valve, Stahlbus valve, or something similar. Buy Rival and you won't be disappointed.
Love this skid plate to protect the catalytic converter. I don't do much offroading other than groomed dirt roads, but in Colorodo (especially Denver) this kind of protection becomes of must against Cat Theft. It's real. We lost a $2k Cat a couple of years ago and I started putting Cat protection on all vehicles that had adequate ground clearance and Cats than hung down in easy view for thieves to steal. My Maverick is totally secure thanks to Rival's skid plate!!

Works well. Stands out.

It's Great because I like how small the branding is. However, I would prefer no brand logo. Very similar the the OEM TRD pro skid plate. My only two descrepancies are the amount of washers need for each bolt. Seems like a lot. My second discrepancy is the cost. The product is already decently priced. However, I know where the company sources it's ore from. The cost could still be much less, and RIVAL would still make much profit.

looks great, fits well , oil drain hole should be 1 to 2 inches larger

The quality is great. It is relatively easy to instal with no car modifications needed. The only thing is that it takes the clearance of the car down with couple of inches compared to the oem skid plates. It is not critical though. I will buy it again if I need it. It is great product.
