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).

Skid plate fit well straight forward install. Had to wait for parts kit as packaging opened during shipping and missing parts. After install noticed that oil filter would not fit through the factory hole. Had to cut away material as shown in the photo to fit vehicle and serviceability.

Skid Plate install '21 F250 6.7 DSL

Ordered this skid plate for my truck. Install was a bit of challenge for just one of the bolts at the engine (one you had to enlarge hole on). I used a small rubber hose with shrink tape around around hose and end of bolt. Once I did that, it was super easy to get that bolt through plate to tighten down. Using that method would have saved about 30 minutes. overall, the plate is very thick and once installed is rock solid. Just a great design and it looks fantastic and adds piece of mind. The opening for the filter and oil drain plug is large enough that changing oil will never be an issue. This is a must buy!

Skidplate install

Pretty straight forward installation. Right forward bolt was tricky. Long needle nose (storks) to get things started. Long open end to finish it off. Very solid plate aluminum. 5 stars.

Awesome!

Installed this skid plate on my 2019 F350 Superduty Diesel after smashing my transmission oil pan. Instructions were clear and it bolted right up. A little tricky getting the front bolts but not a big deal. This thing fits great and looks awesome. Money well spent!
