24-26 Ford Ranger Raptor Rival 2333.1886.4.6 Aluminum Transmission And Cat Converter Skid Plate

RIVAL Aluminum Transmission Skid Plate 2024-2026 Ford Ranger / Ford Ranger Raptor

Part Number: 2333.1886.4.6

Designed for serious off-road use, the RIVAL Aluminum Transmission Skid Plate provides lightweight, high-strength underbody protection for the 2024-2026 Ford Ranger and 2024-2026 Ford Ranger Raptor. Precision deep-stamped from 1/4-inch aluminum alloy, the skid plate is engineered to deliver excellent rigidity and impact resistance without adding unnecessary weight. At just 18 lb, the design helps preserve valuable ground clearance while providing added protection against rocks, logs, ruts, and other hazards encountered on demanding trails. Natural aluminum corrosion resistance also helps protect against rust if the powder-coated finish becomes scratched during years of hard use, making this skid plate a practical upgrade for rock crawling, overlanding, and everyday off-road adventures.

Important Compatibility Information

For Ford Ranger FX4 and Ranger Raptor applications, this transmission skid plate is not compatible with the factory steel transfer case cover. For maximum transfer case protection, RIVAL specifies the 2333.1887.4.6 Aluminum Transfer Case Skid Plate, which mounts on a 5mm thick reinforced crossmember. If the factory steel transfer case cover is being retained, RIVAL specifies the 2333.1898.1.6 Aluminum Transmission Skid Plate instead. The manufacturer notes that the factory steel transfer case cover is 3.64mm thin and lacks an additional support point, making it susceptible to contacting the transfer case during an impact.
