The Story
RIVAL Aluminum Engine Skid Plate for Ford Maverick Tremor & Bronco Sport
Off-roading brings excitement, but it also exposes your Ford Maverick Tremor or Bronco Sport to serious risks. One stray rock, log, or hidden rut can puncture your oil pan or damage critical engine components thus leading to costly repairs and leaving you stranded.
Factory protection is often nothing more than thin plastic, which offers little defense against real-world trail hazards and quickly corrodes in harsh conditions.

Engineered from deep-stamped 1/4-inch aluminum alloy, this skid plate offers exceptional protection for vital engine components against rocks, logs, and other debris without adding significant weight to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ How do I know if my Bronco Sport has a polymer or metal oil pan?
The easiest way to check is by visually inspecting your vehicle's oil pan. A polymer (plastic) oil pan will be black and have a distinct plastic texture, while a metal oil pan will be metallic silver or gray. This skid plate is only compatible with the polymer version.
+ Do I have to remove the skid plate for an oil change?
No. This skid plate is designed with convenient access ports for both the oil drain plug and the oil filter, allowing you to perform routine maintenance without removing the plate. It is recommended to use a funnel to prevent spills.
+ Is any permanent modification to my vehicle required?
No, this is a 100% bolt-on product. It is engineered to use the existing factory mounting points on your vehicle's frame, ensuring a simple installation with no drilling or cutting required.
