The Essential Shield for Serious Off-Roaders

Upgrade your Toyota Tundra CrewMax (2021-current) or Sequoia (2022-current) to tackle even the harshest trails with confidence. Without proper underbody protection, a stray rock, hidden stump, or trail debris can damage your engine, leading to costly repairs and ruined adventures.

The RIVAL Premium Aluminum Engine Skid Plate is engineered for drivers who refuse to be limited by terrain. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, it shields your engine and vital components from off-road hazards while preserving your vehicle’s performance and ground clearance. Explore with peace of mind, knowing your truck or SUV is protected from the unexpected.

Features

• -
  Extensive Underbody Coverage: Shields your engine, transmission, and catalytic converters, also serving as a powerful theft deterrent for the latter.
• -
  Lightweight Strength: At only 28 lbs, it delivers robust protection while being up to 30% lighter than much heavier steel plates.
• -
  Maximum Durability: Incorporates concealed fittings and reinforcing ribs to ensure maximum strength and minimize damage on the trail.
• -
  Corrosion-Proof Reliability: Constructed from marine-grade aluminum with a protective powder coating, this plate is built to resist rust and oxidation, even when scratched.
• -
  Simple No-Drill Installation: Mounts directly to existing factory points on your vehicle's frame for a secure fit without any drilling or permanent modifications.

Specifications

What our Experts Think

• High‑strength aluminum construction — Offers strong impact resistance against rocks, debris, and rough terrain while staying lighter than steel alternatives.

• Comprehensive engine‑bay protection — Shields engine sump, oil pan, and other vulnerable underbody components from impacts, mud, and road hazards.

• Corrosion‑resistant coating — Powder‑coated finish and aluminum base resists rust, wear and environmental exposure over time.

• Model‑specific fitment — Precisely engineered to match 2021+ Tundra CrewMax and 2022+ Sequoia mounting points; no cutting or drilling required.

• Bolt‑on installation — Direct-fit design makes installation straightforward for DIY or professional installers.

Q&A

Q: Which vehicles is this skid plate compatible with?
A: Fits 2021+ Toyota Tundra CrewMax (including Hybrid) and 2022+ Toyota Sequoia.

Q: What material is used?
A: Made from deep-stamped 1/4-inch (≈6 mm) marine-grade aluminum alloy for high strength and durability while remaining lightweight.

Q: What parts of the vehicle does it protect?
A: Shields the engine, front cross-member, and other critical underbody components from rocks, debris, and off-road impacts.

Q: Is installation difficult or does it require modifications?
A: No drilling or cutting needed — it’s a direct bolt-on installation using factory mounting points.

Q: Does it affect ground clearance or handling?
A: No — engineered to maintain factory ground clearance and preserve normal suspension and handling.

Q: Is it resistant to corrosion?
A: Yes — powder-coated finish prevents rust and oxidation, even under harsh off-road conditions.

Q: Is it suitable for serious off-road use?
A: Yes — designed for rugged trails, overlanding, and rough terrain, providing strong protection with deep-stamped reinforcement.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect after every off‑road trip or rough‑road drive: Check carefully for dents, bends, cracks, or deep scratches — especially around bolt holes, edges and contact points.

• Re‑check and re‑tighten fasteners regularly: After first installation, re‑torque bolts; then repeat every 250–500 miles (or after heavy driving) to ensure secure fitment.

• Clean the underside thoroughly: Rinse off mud, sand, salt, and road grime; ensure any drainage or ventilation slots are clear to prevent buildup or corrosion.

• Verify clearance and alignment: After impacts or rough terrain, make sure the skid plate remains aligned and isn’t contacting suspension, exhaust, or other underbody components.

• Inspect for hidden fluid leaks: Since the skid plate covers the engine underside, check around edges and drain‑holes for signs of oil, coolant or other fluid leaks.

• Treat damaged surfaces promptly: If the protective finish gets scratched or compromised, apply a corrosion‑resistant coating or spray to exposed aluminum to prevent oxidation.

• After heavy impacts — check structural integrity: If the skid plate shows bends or deformities after hitting rocks or obstacles, inspect and correct before further off‑road use.
