Customer photo review of RIVAL Rated Recovery Points 2024-2026 Ford Ranger 2024-2026 Ford Ranger Raptor

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

Customer photo review of RIVAL Aluminum Engine Skid Plate 2021-2026 Ford Maverick EcoBoost Hybrid FWD AWD XL XLT Lariat Lobo except Tremor

1. Perfect product! Though easy to install, we had a professional (with a full lift, easier access, and more experience) to install ours. He shares our enthusiasm about the quality of the Rival 4x4 product. 2. Separately, garage-art company ChromeDomz (chromedomz.com) designed and manufactured a great 3ft x 5ft domed metal mirrored wall art piece with the Rival 4x4 logo. Photo attached. We recommend it for other customers.
