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.
