Frequently Asked Questions

+ Will this fit my F-150 with the PowerBoost Hybrid engine?

No, this skid plate will not fit the PowerBoost models. The hybrid system components interfere with the mounting points. We offer a different skid plate specifically designed for the PowerBoost.

+ My truck has a 6-inch lift kit. Will this skid plate work?

It depends on the type of lift. This skid plate is NOT compatible with lift kits that use crossmember "drop brackets," as these brackets occupy the space where the skid plate needs to mount. It is compatible with most other types of lifts.

+ Why is protecting the catalytic converters important?

Catalytic converters are extremely expensive to replace and are a common target for theft. This skid plate provides a strong physical barrier against both trail damage and potential theft, offering double the peace of mind.

+ Is the installation really 100% drill-free?

Yes. The RIVAL skid plate is engineered to use the existing factory mounting points on your F-150's frame. All necessary hardware is included, and no drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications are required.

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
