Deep Stamped 5/32" Armor. No-Drill Installation. Complete Hybrid Component Protection.
Superior Underbody Armor for the Modern MaverickThe RIVAL 4X4 Aluminum Underside Skid Plate Set is the ultimate insurance policy for your 2022+ Ford Maverick Hybrid. While the Maverick is incredibly capable, its low ground clearance and exposed hybrid components make it vulnerable to road debris, rocks, and logs.
Constructed from deep-stamped 5/32-inch (4mm) aluminum alloy, this full underbody kit offers a high-strength solution without the massive weight penalty of traditional steel plates. Engineered for a perfect fit on both 2WD and AWD Hybrid models, it ensures your adventure doesn't end with a punctured oil pan or damaged wiring.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Factory plastic splash guards offer zero protection against impacts, and heavy steel plates can rust and sag your suspension.
The RIVAL Solution: We use Marine-Grade Aluminum that is 30% lighter than steel, 100% corrosion-resistant, and stamped with reinforcing ribs for maximum impact deflection.
Key Features: Complete Underbody Protection
Mounts directly to existing factory points. No cutting or permanent vehicle modification required to secure your Maverick.
The 5/32-inch aluminum is deep stamped to provide significantly more rigidity than flat-cut plates of the same thickness.
Marine-grade aluminum won't rust. Even if you gouge the powder coat on a rock, the metal underneath remains oxidation-free.
Includes integrated oil and filter change ports, allowing you to maintain your Maverick without removing the entire armor set.
Mounting bolts are recessed to prevent them from being sheared off or damaged when sliding over obstacles off-road.
Precision laser-cut apertures allow for proper water drainage and airflow to keep hybrid components cool.
Save up to 30% weight over steel alternatives, preserving your Maverick's fuel economy and payload capacity.
Coated in a zinc primer and Matte Metallic Silver powder coating for a durable, high-end look that matches the Maverick’s aesthetic.
Full Coverage: Driver & Passenger ProtectionThis comprehensive kit merges both the driver-side and passenger-side panels into one complete underbody shield. By protecting both sides of the center tunnel, you secure the vital hybrid electrical lines, fuel lines, and chassis components from impact.
75 lbs Total Set Weight 5/32" Thickness 100% Bolt-On Marine Grade Aluminum
"The peace of mind this kit gives me while driving forest service roads is worth every penny. The Hybrid components sit pretty low, and the factory plastic felt like a joke. These RIVAL plates fit perfectly, and my mechanic was impressed that he didn't have to remove them for the first oil change!"
- Jason T., Maverick Hybrid AWD Owner Professional Installation RecommendedSafety First: Due to the multiple brackets required and the tight clearances under the Maverick, we highly recommend installing this product on a two-post lift. Attempting installation while the vehicle is on the floor or jack stands will be extremely difficult.
Pro Tip: It is good practice to use a tap on all included hardware and bracketry before installation to ensure smooth final assembly.

Yes, this product listing is for the merged set including both the driver-side (40 lb) and passenger-side (35 lb) panels, providing complete coverage for the underbody of your Maverick Hybrid.
Yes. RIVAL skid plates are designed with convenience ports for oil and filter changes. This allows you or your technician to perform standard maintenance without the time-consuming process of removing the armor.
No. Unlike steel skid plates, these are made from Marine-Grade Aluminum Alloy. Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer, and combined with our zinc primer and powder coating, it is highly resistant to corrosion from road salt and moisture.
No drilling or cutting is required. The RIVAL system uses a direct bolt-on installation method that utilizes existing factory mounting ports on your Ford Maverick’s chassis.
The plates are designed to be as low-profile as possible. While you lose a fraction of an inch due to the thickness of the 4mm aluminum, the plates provide a smooth sliding surface, allowing you to "glide" over obstacles that would otherwise snag the chassis or damage components.

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

The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
