Description

RIVAL Aluminum Transmission & Catalytic Converter Skid Plate: Toyota Hybrid Series

1/4-Inch Deep-Stamped Aluminum. No-Drill Installation. Anti-Theft & Off-Road Protection.

Ultimate Armor for Your i-FORCE MAX Drivetrain

Protect your hybrid's most vulnerable components with the RIVAL Premium Transmission and Catalytic Converter Skid Plate. Engineered from deep-stamped 1/4-inch (6mm) aluminum alloy, this plate provides unbeatable strength for the 2024+ Tacoma, Land Cruiser, 4Runner, and Tundra Hybrid models.

Whether you are tackling technical rock crawling or high-speed overlanding, RIVAL shields your vital transmission case and expensive catalytic converters from jagged rocks, logs, and debris without the massive weight penalty of traditional steel plates.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Catalytic converter theft is at an all-time high, and a single rock strike to a hybrid transmission case can result in a total drivetrain loss.
The RIVAL Solution: We offer a 100% Bolt-On armor system that uses concealed fittings to prevent bolt shearing and marine-grade aluminum that will never rust, even when gouged.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"Living in an area where cat theft is rampant, this was a no-brainer. The fitment on my 2024 Tacoma Hybrid was perfect. It’s light enough that I could install it by myself, but feels incredibly stout. I've already dragged it over a few logs on the trail and it just has surface scratches—no dents. Peace of mind achieved."

- Marcus T., Tundra i-FORCE MAX Owner
⚠️ Critical Fitment Note

i-FORCE MAX ONLY: This skid plate is specifically designed for Hybrid engine applications only. It will NOT fit the standard i-FORCE gas-only engines. Please verify your drivetrain before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Does this skid plate fit my gas-only Toyota?

No. This specific model is engineered exclusively for i-FORCE MAX Hybrid applications. The mounting points and clearance are different for gas-only (i-FORCE) engines.

+ Will this protect my catalytic converters from theft?

Yes. This plate covers the transmission and the catalytic converter area, making access extremely difficult for thieves. While no security measure is 100% foolproof, it serves as a major deterrent and physical barrier.

+ Can I still change my oil with this installed?

Yes. RIVAL designs these plates with convenient service ports for oil and filter changes, so you don't have to drop the 32 lb plate every time your truck needs a service.

+ Does aluminum provide enough protection compared to steel?

Absolutely. At 1/4 inch (6mm) thickness, this aluminum plate is significantly thicker than standard 1/8 inch steel plates. The deep-stamping adds further structural integrity, and the weight savings help maintain your vehicle's handling and fuel economy.

+ Is any drilling required for the install?

No drilling or cutting is required. It is a 100% bolt-on system that utilizes existing factory mounting holes in your Toyota's frame.

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
