Description

Juggernaut 2018+ Ford Expedition Engine Skid Plate

Engine & Intercooler Protection. Bolt-On Installation. Made in the USA.

Protects the Engine, Oil Pan, and Intercooler

Your Expedition's engine and intercooler hang low, covered from the factory by little more than a plastic splash shield — no match for rocks, ruts, or debris kicked up at highway speed. A punctured oil pan or crushed intercooler means a tow and a repair bill that can run into the thousands.

Ours is 1/4" 5052 aluminum, powder-coated black, CNC plasma-cut and press-brake formed in our Wheat Ridge, Colorado shop.

Why Choose Juggernaut Protection?

The Pain: The factory splash shield stops dust, not rocks — a hard strike on the oil pan or intercooler can end the trip and cost thousands to fix.
The Juggernaut Solution: A full 1/4" aluminum plate between the trail and your engine, bolted to factory mounting points.

Key Features: Expedition Engine Skid Plate

Engine & Intercooler Coverage

Shields the oil pan and intercooler from rocks and road debris.

1/4" 5052 Aluminum

Lighter than steel and immune to the rust that eats away at steel armor over time.

No Drilling Required

Bolt-on installation using factory mounting points — no holes, no modifications.

Powder-Coated Black

A durable black finish adds abrasion resistance on top of aluminum's natural corrosion resistance.

All Hardware Included

Everything you need ships in the box — no trip to the hardware store.

Made in the USA

Designed, cut, and finished in Colorado. Backed by a lifetime warranty.

Built for the Ford Expedition

Engineered specifically for the 2018-current Ford Expedition, matching factory underbody geometry, including the 2025-current Expedition Tremor.

1/4" 5052 Aluminum Thickness 30 lb Shipping Weight Black Powder Coat Finish Lifetime Warranty

Fitment: Ford Expedition, Standard and MAX

Fits the following:

2018-current Ford Expedition, Expedition MAX, and 2025-current Expedition Tremor

Select your Tremor status at checkout — the 2025+ Tremor Off-Road Model uses different underbody geometry than the standard Expedition and MAX.

Not compatible with vehicles running a 4"+ lift — aftermarket drop brackets and crossmembers interfere with the factory mounting points this plate bolts to.

Aluminum vs. Steel — Why We Build in 1/4" Aluminum

What Matters Underbody Our 1/4" 5052-H32 Aluminum Typical 3/16" Steel
Resistance to Bending ✓ Higher — bend resistance rises with the square of thickness ✗ Baseline
Weight ✓ About half — easier on payload ✗ Heavier
Corrosion ✓ Won't rust ✗ Rusts where the coating chips
Surface Hardness (drag over rock) Softer — can gouge on granite ✓ Harder — steel's real edge
Hardware ✓ Included Often Sold Separately
Origin ✓ Made in USA (Colorado) Imported

Frequently Asked Questions

+ What does this plate protect?

The oil pan and intercooler — the areas hanging lowest and most exposed under the front of the Expedition.

+ Do I need to pick the Tremor option?

Only if you have a 2025+ Expedition Tremor. Every other 2018-current Expedition and Expedition MAX uses the Non-Tremor fitment.

+ Does this cover the transmission or transfer case too?

No — this plate covers the engine area only. The Transmission & Cat Shield and Transfer Case plates are sold separately, or bundled in the Full Skid Plate Package.

+ Will this fit a lifted Expedition?

Not with a 4"+ lift. Aftermarket drop brackets and crossmembers interfere with the factory mounting points this plate uses.

+ Is installation difficult?

No. The plate bolts to your Expedition's existing factory mounting points — no drilling or cutting required.

+ 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
