The Story
RIVAL Transmission Skid Plate for Tacoma, Land Cruiser & 4Runner Hybrid
This high-quality, laser-cut RIVAL skid plate provides essential underbody armor for the latest generation of Toyota's Hybrid trucks and SUVs. Made from deep-stamped 1/4-inch thick aluminum alloy, it offers a high-strength, lightweight solution to protect your transmission from rocks, logs, and scrapes.
Combined with a simple no-drill installation, it’s the easy choice for serious protection. Being an extremely corrosion-resistant material, this aluminum plate will not rust, even if the surface is scratched on the trail.
Note: This skid plate is specifically designed for Hybrid models only.
Key Features & Benefits
- Complete Transmission Protection: Shields your transmission, a critical and expensive component, from direct impacts with rocks, stumps, and other trail hazards.
- Lightweight & Strong: Weighing 32 lbs, this 1/4" aluminum plate provides robust protection while being significantly lighter than steel, preserving your vehicle's performance and fuel economy.
- 100% No-Drill Installation: Engineered for a simple bolt-on process that uses your vehicle's factory mounting points. No cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications are required.
- Hybrid-Specific Fitment: Precision-engineered to fit the unique undercarriage of the latest Toyota Hybrid platforms, ensuring perfect coverage without interference.
Unique RIVAL Innovations
- Deep Stamped Construction: Unlike basic flat plates, RIVAL skid plates are deep-stamped. This process creates reinforcing ribs and channels that dramatically increase strength and impact resistance without adding extra weight.
- Marine-Grade Alloy Durability: The aluminum alloy is naturally corrosion-resistant. This means that even if the tough powder coat finish gets deeply scratched on a rock, the metal underneath will not rust or degrade, ensuring long-lasting protection.
- Shared Platform Engineering: This plate is a testament to precision engineering, designed to perfectly fit the shared TNGA-F global platform used by the new Tacoma, Land Cruiser, and 4Runner, guaranteeing a flawless fit across all three models.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ Why is this skid plate specifically for Hybrid models?
The new generation of Toyota Hybrid trucks and SUVs has a different undercarriage layout due to the placement of hybrid system components. This skid plate is engineered to fit those specific contours and mounting points, which differ from the non-hybrid versions.
+ Does one part number really fit the Tacoma, Land Cruiser, and 4Runner?
Yes. Toyota's new generation of body-on-frame vehicles (Tacoma, Land Cruiser, 4Runner) are built on a shared global platform (TNGA-F). This means they share key frame and mounting point dimensions, allowing this precision-engineered skid plate to fit all three Hybrid models perfectly.
+ Will this skid plate rust if it gets scratched?
No. Aluminum is a naturally corrosion-resistant material. Unlike steel, it will not rust even if the powder coat finish is deeply scratched or gouged on the trail, ensuring long-lasting durability in all weather conditions.
+ Is any drilling or permanent modification required for installation?
No. The RIVAL skid plate is engineered for a 100% bolt-on installation using your vehicle's existing factory mounting points. All necessary hardware is included, and no drilling or cutting is needed.
