Description

Juggernaut 2015+ Ford F-150 Transmission Skid Plate & Cat Shield

Bolt-On Underbody Armor. No-Drill Installation. Made in the USA.

Protect Your Transmission and Catalytic Converter

The Juggernaut Transmission Skid Plate & Cat Shield covers your F-150's transmission pan and catalytic converter — two of the most expensive components hanging under the truck, and a common target for both trail damage and catalytic converter theft. Built from 1/4" aluminum and finished in a durable black powder coat, it bolts to your factory frame mounting points.

Because it also boxes in the catalytic converter, this plate does double duty as an anti-theft shield, making it much harder for a thief to reach the converter with a saw.

Why Choose Juggernaut Protection?

The Pain: A stock F-150's transmission pan hangs exposed to rocks and trail debris, and its catalytic converter sits within easy reach underneath the truck — a favorite target for thieves.
The Juggernaut Solution: A 1/4" aluminum shield that bolts to your existing frame mounting points, protecting the transmission pan from impact damage while boxing in the catalytic converter to deter theft — no drilling, no cutting.

Key Features: Transmission Skid Plate & Cat Shield

No Drilling Required

Bolts to your F-150's existing frame mounting points. No holes, no cutting.

Catalytic Converter Anti-Theft Shield

Boxes in the catalytic converter, making it much harder for a thief to reach with a saw.

1/4" Aluminum Construction

Full quarter-inch aluminum plate for serious protection without the extra weight of steel.

Rust-Resistant by Design

Aluminum resists corrosion far better than steel, so rust underneath your truck isn't a concern.

Powder Coated Finish

Black powder coat adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion and trail wear.

All Hardware Included

Grade 8 steel hardware ships in the box — no trip to the hardware store.

Made in the USA

Designed and manufactured domestically from US-sourced aluminum.

PowerBoost Hybrid Owners

Select "2015-2026 Powerboost (Hybrid Model)" above: PowerBoost models push the transmission further back on the frame, so this fitment includes an additional extension plate for full coverage — see the installation guide below for how it mounts.

Fitment: Ford F-150

Designed specifically for the 13th and 14th Gen Ford F-150. Fits the following:

2015-current F-150 — 5.0L / 3.5L / 3.3L / 3.7L, PowerBoost Hybrid, 2015-2023 2.7L, 2024-current 2.7L, and 2018-2021 3.0L Diesel

Not compatible with a 4"+ suspension lift — aftermarket lower control-arm drop crossmembers will interfere with the front mounting bracket.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ What does this skid plate protect?

Your F-150's transmission pan and catalytic converter — it doubles as an anti-theft shield for the converter.

+ How do I pick the right engine option?

Match the option above to your F-150's engine: 5.0L/3.5L/3.3L/3.7L, PowerBoost Hybrid, 2.7L (2015-2023 or 2024-current — the mounting geometry changed between them), or 3.0L Diesel. Check your window sticker or build sheet if you're not sure which engine you have.

+ Does this really help prevent catalytic converter theft?

It won't make theft impossible, but boxing in the converter with 1/4" aluminum makes it significantly slower and harder to cut through, which is often enough to send a thief looking for an easier target.

+ Will this work with a lifted F-150?

Not with a 4"+ suspension lift — aftermarket lower control-arm drop crossmembers interfere with the front mounting bracket.

+ Is installation difficult?

No. The plate bolts to your F-150's existing factory frame mounting points — no drilling or cutting required. See the installation guide below for the full step-by-step order.

+ Does adding a skid plate void my vehicle warranty?

No — under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, bolt-on aftermarket parts can't void your factory warranty on their own.

Prop 65

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
