Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) is a California law that applies to all companies selling products in California. Proposition 65 requires warnings if a product contains any listed chemical present above very low levels that are known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Proposition 65’s warning standards are among the most stringent in the world. Proposition 65 is not a product safety law, but rather a “right-to-know” law. Businesses are required to provide warnings to comply with Proposition 65. These warnings are required to be in place for all products offered for sale in California.
There are over 800 chemicals on the Proposition 65 list, which is administered by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The list includes naturally occurring and man-made chemicals. Proposition 65 warnings can be seen for a wide variety of everyday consumer products, including Automotive Performance products, and warnings can be seen posted throughout California in a variety of establishments such as hotels, restaurants, automobile dealerships/repair shops, and retail stores just to name a few.
To comply with the requirements of Proposition 65, this warning is present on all products sold by MPT.

This high‑performance skid plate is engineered to protect vulnerable underbody components on 2015–2025 Ford F‑150s (PowerBoost only) by combining durable construction, corrosion resistance, and a vehicle‑specific fit. Ideal for off‑road, overlanding, or daily driving in rough terrain, this skid plate delivers strength without excessive weight, giving peace of mind when tackling challenging routes.
RIVAL designs these skid plates to shield essential parts like the transmission and catalytic converters from rocks, logs, debris, and impacts — all while maintaining minimal added bulk. Because it bolts to factory mounting points with no drilling or cutting required, the installation stays clean and reversible. The inherent corrosion resistance of aluminum ensures that even if the surface coating is scratched, the substrate resists rusting over time.
This version is intended only for F‑150s equipped with the PowerBoost hybrid drivetrain. For EcoBoost or V8 versions, alternate RIVAL skid plates are offered. Be aware: this plate does not fit vehicles with lift kits that use crossmember drop brackets. When servicing (e.g. oil changes), using a funnel is recommended to avoid spills. The plate can be installed separately or used in conjunction with other RIVAL skid plates for fuller coverage. At an approximate weight of 31 lb (14 kg) and finished in a matte metallic silver, it provides substantial protection with modest weight addition.
Deep‑stamped ¼‑inch (≈ 6 mm) marine-grade aluminum construction for high impact strength
Bolt-on design using factory mounting points (no drilling, cutting, or welding)
Natural corrosion resistance (rust‑proof even if coating is damaged)
Concealed mounting points and reinforcing ribs for structural integrity
Service access allowances (use of a funnel recommended for oil changes)
Compatibility with installation alongside other RIVAL skid plates
Matte metallic silver finish for a rugged, clean appearance
Protects critical drivetrain and emissions components (transmission, catalytic converters) from off-road hazards
Saves weight relative to steel options, preserving vehicle performance and fuel economy
Long-term durability: aluminum core won’t rust through, even when surface coating is compromised
Simple installation minimizes labor and reduces downtime
Full coverage option: can be part of a full RIVAL skid plate set
Backed by RIVAL/MPT’s quality assurance and support (verify warranty status with seller or MPT)
Gives confidence to drive tougher terrain without fear of underbody damage
Compatible Years: 2015–2025 (Ford F‑150 PowerBoost only)
Color / Finish: Matte metallic silver
Material: Deep-stamped ¼″ marine-grade aluminum alloy
Weight: ~31 lb (14 kg)
Mounting Method: Bolts to factory mounting points; no drilling or cutting required
Fitment Limitations: Not compatible with lift kits using crossmember drop brackets
Service Tip: Use a funnel to assist oil changes while installed
Easy to Moderate — installation typically takes about 1 hour using basic hand tools and a torque wrench, thanks to the no‑drill, bolt-on design. Many installers report successful mounting in under one hour by loosely threading all bolts, aligning the plate, then tightening to spec. Some adjustment with a tap on hardware may ease final alignment. (User reviews and analogous RIVAL skid plate installs confirm this timeframe.)
This skid plate fits 2015 through 2025 Ford F‑150 trucks equipped with the PowerBoost hybrid drivetrain. It is not compatible with F‑150 models using EcoBoost or conventional V8 engines. It also will not fit vehicles that incorporate aftermarket lift kits with crossmember drop brackets. Ensure your truck's powertrain matches the PowerBoost specification before ordering.
