At a glance

Overall sentiment is strongly positive: customers describe the skid plates/guards as heavy-duty, great-fitting, and a worthwhile upgrade over factory fiberboard, offering meaningful protection and peace of mind.

What Customers Liked

Consistently described as super thick/heavy-duty/beefy, rock solid once installed, sturdy aluminum/steel, good welds, quality hardware.
Bolts right up, fits great/perfect fit on various Ford trucks (F-150/F-250/F-350); looks awesome/fantastic; some custom powder coat for aesthetics.
Protects plastic transmission pan, oil pan/filter, fuel/water separator; helpful for rough roads/off-road/rock crawling; also bought for catalytic-converter-theft deterrence/peace of mind.
Many report straightforward install in ~45–60 minutes in driveway; new design easier than older model; labeled parts bags and complete hardware (often extra).
Prompt shipping noted (e.g., Canada to Midwest in 3 days); helpful in selecting correct plate; easy to deal with.
Oil drain/filter access reported as adequate by some (opening large enough to make oil changes easy).
Several mention installation video made the job much easier (even in very cold weather).

Things to Consider

Arrived in heavy-duty garbage bag/no padding; some packages delivered opened leading to missing hardware/parts and waiting for parts kit.
Occasional hole not drilled/punched; one bolt hole needed enlarging; self-threading screw hard to catch; T-bolt didn’t work well without washer; front bolts can be tricky to start.
Directions criticized as poorly organized and lacking required tool list; some steps out of order (e.g., rubber bumper insertion); diagrams unclear; multiple reviewers recommend needing the video.
Reported vibration against cross member; request for a second rubber bumper on driver side (one user added their own rubber piece).
One report that oil filter would not fit through factory hole after install, requiring cutting material for proper service access.
One customer couldn’t find matching plates to cover the fuel tank (desired additional coverage).

Excellent Product

The plates are good quality and easy to install. Adds protection to underside of my F-150 and replaces the fiber panels that Ford should be embarrassed they put on my truck!

Truck Hardware Ford F-150 Skid Plate - 3 Piece Aluminum - 4WD Only (D)

High-quality skid plates, fast shipping, easy install, good value

I bought these skid plates for my 2020 F-150 before a trip through the Southwest where I knew I'd be faced with some rough terrain, and I knew I would need something better than the fabric diaper that came installed from the factory. As it turned out, the off-road portions of the trip were more rock-crawling than offroad, and these skids saved my bacon more than once. The package shipped from Canada the same day I ordered, and I received it in the midwest in 3 days. The install took about 45 minutes, and was quite simple – follow the instructions and it's a breeze.

Ford F350 Catalytic Converter Shield

The Shield for my 2020 F350 Diesel looks to be very solid and sturdy. I wanted some “peace of mind” due to the increase of catalytic converter thefts. This product appears to fit the bill.

No Brainer

Item arrived in a heavy duty type garbage bag (no padding-nothing), which surprised me.... None-the-less, it was not scratched or bent in anyway, and bolts and hardware made it intact. Plate is super thick and tough. This is my 2nd unit for a new truck. The new design installs much, much easier than the older model. Had it in under an hour. This plate is a NO BRAINER to protect your plastic tranny pan, oil pan and filter and most of your front critical components!

Three piece skidplate

This plate is sturdy, it was very easy to install, nothing was missing it was all there including the parts bags. The only problem I had was one of the holes to fasten to the frame was not drilled or punched. It was a fast fix.

how are the oil changes with plates? can you access the oil drain plug and oil filter or do you have to remove the plates to get to them??

- brian on 2/3/2021

There is a door to access the oil filter and oil plug. You will not have to remove the skid plate to change the oil.

I am researching your skid plate system for my 2018 Ford F-150 XLT Supercrew with a 2.7 L eco boost V6. Is this a complete skid plate system? What is total cost of product? And what is the shipping cost to NJ? Thank you.
