Frequently Asked Questions
+ Will this skid plate fit my Toyota Tacoma?
This RIVAL Aluminum Gas Tank Skid Plate is specifically designed for 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma 3rd Generation models, including TRD Offroad trims. It is crucial to note that this plate is compatible ONLY with 5-Foot Bed Tacoma models. Please verify your truck's bed length before purchasing.
+ Is aluminum strong enough for off-road protection, or should I get steel?
Absolutely. While steel is known for its brute strength, modern aluminum alloys, like the 1/4-inch deep-stamped aluminum used in RIVAL skid plates, offer an exceptional balance of strength and weight. Our plates feature stiffening ribs and a robust design that provides ample protection against common off-road hazards like rocks and logs, all while being up to 30% lighter than steel. This weight saving can benefit fuel economy and reduce strain on your vehicle's suspension.
+ Do I need to drill into my frame to install this?
No, this RIVAL skid plate features a convenient no-drill installation. It's designed to bolt directly onto your Tacoma's existing factory mounting points, making the installation process straightforward and reversible.
+ Will this skid plate rust over time?
One of the key advantages of aluminum is its natural resistance to rust and corrosion. This RIVAL skid plate is made from marine-grade aluminum alloy, further protected by a zinc primer and a durable matte metallic silver powder coating. Even if the coating gets scratched, the aluminum itself will not rust, ensuring long-term durability and appearance.
